During the XI St. Petersburg International Forum of United Cultures, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova and St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov opened the Sergei Kuryokhin Center for Contemporary Art.

"The architecture of the center is permeated with the emotions and spirit of the man after whom it is named, Sergei Kuryokhin. Innovation and modernity were inherent to him. His works breathed precisely this. It is important to feel this and discover new facets of his art," said Tatyana Golikova.

After a large-scale reconstruction, the center has been transformed into a modern space for creativity, inspiration, meetings, discoveries and relaxation.

The unique multifunctional complex is ready to host a variety of contemporary art forms. Concerts, festivals, theatre productions, exhibitions and TV filming, lectures, video installations, and laboratories are planned here.

Alexander Beglov noted that the building of the center previously housed the Priboy cinema, which had not been used in recent years, and now an avant-garde center has been created.

“The souls of everyone who worked on its creation were put into this center, and this is a good memory for Sergei,” said Alexander Beglov.

The center will feature a permanent exhibition dedicated to the life and work of Sergei Kuryokhin, in whose memory this center was created – a man of multifaceted talent, a bold innovator who left a bright mark on art.

The Deputy Prime Minister congratulated all those present on the opening of the center and expressed confidence that the new projects, creative discussions and cultural events that will take place here will unite people of different generations and views, and will be filled with meanings based on our traditional spiritual and moral values.

“Let this space always be filled with the energy of creation, lively meetings and bold ideas,” said Tatyana Golikova.
