Ruin
Exhibition in a coachhouse
After a thorough renovation, the “Ruin” exhibition
space at the Shchusev Museum of Architecture
is now officially open. The 200-year-old walls
of the maintenance building that was once a
coachhouse for the wealthy Talyzin family have
been left almost untouched, with new materials
used only when absolutely necessary. Last week
an exhibit of the finalists of the Innovation art
award opened at Ruin.
Garage Screen
Art films in the park
Garage Museum of Contemporary Art has launched
its summer film program “Garage Screen,”
which will take place on an open-air stage right
in front of the museum in Gorky Park. Garage
has teamed up with the Beat Film Festival to
show a program entitled “Films by Artists,” with
movies that are a cross between cinema and
video art. All the films will be shown in the original
language with Russian subtitles.

rubles ($5.30) and includes lentil dhal soup, the
yogurt-based dish raita and either chicken tikka
masala or chicken in butter sauce. There’s a choice
of lassi – mango or banana (150 rubles).
