In 1986, the Soviet government created a statute enabling citizens
to form associations and clubs for the first time since the 1920s.
This-and the 1988 law on cooperatives which permitted private
enterprise-gave rise to the first official organizations created by
unofficial artists, as well as the beginning of a vibrant gallery
scene. Run by artists, curators, and cultural entrepreneurs, these
spaces unleashed the creative energy that now characterizes early
post-Soviet Russia. Access Moscow examines the key role which the
first independent galleries played in the emergence of Moscow's art
scene in the 1990s. Through historical texts from leading
practitioners of the period-some of which are translated into
English for the first time-and essays by Valentin Diaconov, Kate
Fowle, Andrei Kovalev, and Elena Selina, this book provides a
first-hand account of an art community in formation. A chronology
of art and political events shows the development of art life in
Moscow over the course of the decade. Access Moscow is the second
in a new series of books by Garage Museum of Contemporary Art on
research and materials in Garage Archive Collection.
The Moscow Metro is a unique place. With a network of 400
kilometers of lines, exceptionally deep tunnels and stations, and
nearly nine million passengers a day, it is one of the most heavily
frequented underground subway systems in the world. Katharina
Gruzei explored it over several years and now presents an
aesthetically fascinating and socioculturally remarkable
photographic survey. Ideologically charged and symbolic of Russia's
eventful history, the Metro was started as a prestige project and
simultaneously conceived to also be used as a bunker. It was always
intended as a place for people to congregate and is still today a
living space where social, political and societal tendencies are
made legible. With her photo series, the artist enables an
extraordinary journey through time and space in the underground of
Moscow, a metropolis of millions.
