On October 21, the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art hosted an Evening of Vernissages. Twelve resident galleries presented new exhibitions.
The pop/off/art gallery presented a memorial exhibition by Oleg Lang, "After Everything." The exhibition brings together works from the master's pivotal decade, the 2000s–2010s, a time when Oleg Lang articulated the fundamental principles of his artistic method, with which he delineates space and constructs architectural structures. His works juxtapose Silver Age poetry with scenes from news reports, newspapers, and classical literature. The exhibition runs until December 3.
XL Gallery opened Andrey Monastyrsky's exhibition "Dawn Under the Chintz." The project draws on the Collective Actions group's performances, which took place from 1976 to 2025. A key method of the group's work is observation through the eyes of spectators invited to the site of the performance, or "mental observation" after the fact, for which all events were meticulously documented. In "Dawn Under the Chintz," viewers are also given a choice: immerse themselves in solitary observation or pass by, refusing to give in to curiosity. The exhibition runs until November 29.
The 11.12 Gallery hosted the opening of Studio 30's "Arrividerci, Roma" exhibition, dedicated to the loss of illusions about the past. The "Eternal City" appears as a chain of concepts, fragments of unsystematic knowledge plucked from random streams of information. The artists ponder whether it is possible to abandon a Rome that exists only in the imagination, as the lyrical hero of the song of the same name does when he throws a coin into a fountain, which is promptly stolen by a local boy. The exhibition runs until November 29.
VLADEY Space opened a solo exhibition, "GARDEN-1630," by artist Kolya Sadovnik. Each sculpture is a form frozen in the moment of its initial emergence. Words from the artist's favorite poets, mantra-like phrases written in transliteration and reminiscent of archaic Latin, are carved into the surface of the works. The sculptures themselves bear inventory names as an attempt to catalog the world. The exhibition runs until November 28.
The a-s-t-r-a Gallery presented Mikhail Krunov's solo exhibition "Supracultural Absolute, or a Sensual Study of Time," where science, philosophy, and art merge into a single research method, science-art. In his works, the artist romanticizes and promotes scientific achievements that describe the universe. The exhibition runs until December 5.
PENNLAB Gallery opened a new project, "Sculptures," by Fyodor Toshchev. The exhibition presented for the first time part of a multi-year project created on the shoreline of the Rybinsk Reservoir. The artist assembled fragile structures from found fragments—bricks, stones, and branches—installing them in the water and on the shoreline. Photography serves as a mediator and witness, transforming a local gesture into a narrative of local memory. The exhibition runs until December 3.
HSE ART Gallery presented a large-scale exhibition, "DESIGN," about design in action. The exhibition features over 60 works by students and graduates of the HSE School of Design, including animated videos, video games, identities, functional design objects, environmental design projects, advertising campaigns, clothing collections, packaging, accessories, and other forms of contemporary design. The exhibition runs until December 2.
FUTURO Gallery, with the support of PiranesiLAB, opened the duet exhibition "Seven Reflections on Line," featuring graphic works and ceramic objects by Alexey Veselovsky and sound art by Ivan Shelobolin. The exhibition brings together the two artists, whose reflections touch on the primary element of both graphic and musical art—line. Line is presented here both as the foundation of graphic thinking and as a phrase in a musical dialogue. The exhibition runs until November 30.
The Totibadze Gallery opened the exhibition "Ksovilebi" featuring paintings by Georgiy and Irina Totibadze, accompanied by photographs by Alexander Smirnov. The exhibition features old and new works by the artists, as well as photographs from the family archive, telling a fascinating story of intertwined lives and events. The exhibition runs until December 2.
FINEART Gallery presented Masha Yankovskaya's solo project, "A Time to Cast Away Stones, a Time to Gather Stones." The subjects of her works live through different periods of Maria's life, openly conveying the artist's polarized states and inviting viewers to look into Yankovskaya's subjects as if into a mirror. The exhibition runs until December 4.
BIS ART Gallery hosted the opening of Anna Konopleva's solo exhibition, "The Shadow Laughs." The artist invites viewers to transcend the material and embrace a unique perspective on the world around them. Her works reflect the human mind's ability to augment reality with its own images, revealing the meaning of everyday life through fantasy and humor. The exhibition runs until November 4.
