Garage Museum of Contemporary Art is a place for people, art and ideas to create history.
Founded in 2008 by Dasha Zhukova, Garage is the first philanthropic institution in Russia to create a comprehensive public mandate for contemporary art. Providing opportunities for dialogue, as well as the production of new work and ideas, the Museum’s extensive program of exhibitions, events, education, research, and publishing reflects current developments in Russian and international culture. Central to these activities is the Museum’s collection, which is the only public archive in the country related to the development of Russian contemporary art from the 1950s through to the present.
You'll be able to see some exclusive exhibits :
URS FISCHER: SMALL AXE
To celebrate the first anniversary of Garage’s move into its permanent home, Urs Fischer has developed Small Axe, an exhibition that responds to the building and its surroundings with spirited lightness and humor. Creating a series of installations that play with scale and sensory perception, the Swiss-born artist invites audiences to experience the Museum from a new perspective.
MAURO RESTIFFE: POST-SOVIET RUSSIA 1995/2015
Brazilian artist Mauro Restiffe presents two series of black-and-white photographs taken in Russia first in the 1990s (during his extended stay in the country) and then 20 years later in 2015. The arresting visual essay portrays the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, revealing the idiosyncratic and timeless qualities of two very different periods in post-Soviet Russia.
RASHID JOHNSON: WITHIN OUR GATES
For the third commission in Garage Atrium, New York-based artist Rashid Johnson produced an installation using a towering grid structure to house a unique, living ecosystem in the Museum that visitors can enter and explore.
GARAGE, ARCHIVED
This exhibition coincides with the first anniversary of Garage’s move to its permanent home in Gorky Park. Since it was founded in 2008, Garage has been on a whirlwind journey; this show reflects many of the Museum’s key milestones, like the reconstruction and building of the spaces, the history of the people who shape its inner workings, and the vast educational and exhibition programs. For the first time at this exhibition, a significant number of materials from Garage's institutional archive will be put on display.
