The first episode features curator and art theorist Viktor Misiano, founder of the Art Magazine.

Episodes include stories about the Picasso exhibition in Moscow, the American art exhibition in Sokolniki Park, Nikita Khrushchev's scandalous destruction of the Manege exhibition, the Bulldozer Exhibition, the historic Sotheby's auction in Moscow, and other events that shaped the contemporary art scene.

Guests will discuss how to learn to "read" contemporary art, how it existed underground in the 1960s, why the 1970s became a decade of bold artistic experimentation, what distinguished new artistic movements, how nonconformist artists had to fight for the opportunity to show their work to a wider public, and much more.

A new experimental gallery, PironesiLAB, has opened at the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art. The gallery is based on the laboratory opened in 2016 by Alexey Veselovsky at the Fabrika Center for Creative Industries, one of Moscow's oldest creative clusters. The Winzavod space offers a new way for the gallery to present its work to collectors of contemporary prints.

The laboratory's practice focuses on collaborative creative processes, creating printed works with key figures in the contemporary art scene. Each print run and series is a unique experiment, a search for an artist and master of the expressive potential of the print medium.

The showroom will feature a focused presentation of printed works from the gallery's collection: new prints from the laboratory, archival graphics, and experiments with technology by the gallery's young artists. Each exhibition is accompanied by a printed publication dedicated to the works on display or the artist.

PiranesiLAB actively participates in contemporary art fairs (Cosmoscow, Blazar) and partner projects with cultural institutions and galleries (MAMM, AZ/ART, pop/off/art gallery, a-s-t-r-a gallery), showcasing the diversity of the print medium and the uniqueness of individual approaches to it. Since 2024, PiranesiLAB has been a member of the Galleries Association. As part of the Association, the laboratory is involved in the development and endorsement of principles and conventions for the presentation of printed and printed art in the market.

Evening of Vernissages at the Winzavod Contemporary Art Center on December 9, 2025.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

On December 9, the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art hosted an Evening of Vernissages. Twelve resident galleries presented new exhibitions.

The pop/off/art gallery has opened the exhibition "Shadow Theory"—a new chapter in the career of artist George Cohen, formerly known as Georgy Pusenkoff. The exhibition features previously unseen works from 2019–2024, balancing non-objective and figurative imagery with interspersed text. Shadow symbolizes the presence of light, and the immaterial takes shape and becomes visible. The exhibition runs until January 23.

XL Gallery presented the exhibition "Failures" by the Blue Soup group. The works are created using digital animation. The group's works explore detached and artificial landscapes, interiors, and locations where mysterious forces operate. They resemble reality yet are not, creating an "uncanny valley" effect and placing the viewer on edge. The exhibition runs until January 16.

The 11.12 Gallery hosted the opening of Vladimir Marin's exhibition "Fermentation," dedicated to his ongoing search for new creative methods and constant relocation. This fermentation yields new works that reflect both the artist's artistic vision and the surrounding geographic and social context. The exhibition runs until January 18.

VLADEY Space opened a solo exhibition by Yegor Koshelev, "Reds and Blacks." The artist deliberately rejects a color palette in his works and explores new methods while residing in regional cities. This experiment resulted in two major projects, which have become a distinct chapter for the artist. He presents art with a new tone and explores new themes previously uncharacteristic of his work. The exhibition runs until January 18.

The a-s-t-r-a Gallery presented the project "Paradoxical Paradise" by Sergei Sonin and Elena Samorodova-Sonina. The artists work in the fictional genre of "Russian provincial orientalism," asking visitors questions such as: is it possible to build a large-scale earthly paradise, harness the power of nature, and at what cost is victory over the chthonic? The exhibition will run until January 16.

PENNLAB Gallery has opened Elena Anosova's solo exhibition, "Inside Soft Gold," the final chapter of the "Atlas of First Snow" project. The artist presents the results of a decade of research into her family history and the lives of a multi-ethnic community of hunters and fishermen in the Lower Tunguska basin. The exhibition runs until January 31.

The HSE ART Gallery presented a major exhibition, "The Great Disorder," across two venues, bringing together artists, designers, researchers, and educators reflecting on chaos as a fundamental form of existence in the world. The major exhibition is an annual format held by the HSE School of Art and Design since 2021. The exhibition runs until January 13.

FUTURO Gallery opened Nikolai Onishchenko's solo exhibition "In the Icy Ether." The exhibition includes monochrome graphic works and an audio installation. The artist conceives of the concept as a graphic representation of the mechanism of sound, which he compares to the formation of glaciers. He then created a series of graphic works depicting sharp, fragile, and nature-like objects. The exhibition runs until January 16.

The Triangle Gallery presented Andrey Efimov's solo project "Space of Variations or Shining Chaos." The artist creates his own visual image of life in all its manifestations, referencing themes of nature and the cosmos. The project seeks to convey the essence of existence without specific forms, so that viewers can formulate their own definition of life. The exhibition runs until January 16.

Totibadze Gallery opened the exhibition "Cinema/Theater of Sveta T." The exhibition features sketches for famous films and plays by fashion designer Svetlana Tegin, who works in the film and theater industries. Her works balance the boundaries of fashion and art, a distinction that is clearly expressed in her collections and creative collaborations. The exhibition runs until January 14.

FINEART Gallery presented Katya Belyaeva's solo project "Rococo Universe." The artist combines the world of 18th-century fashion with the cosmic future. These two parallel realities recreate the Rococo universe and give birth to a new neoclassical style. The exhibition runs until January 18.

BIS ART Gallery hosted the opening of Elena Kolesnikova's solo exhibition, "Who Whispers Loudly on the Sunny Path." The exhibition is structured like a map leading to new achievements and introspection, while the works point to the current era of contemporary art. The exhibition runs until December 23.

Admission to the galleries is free; please check the gallery's website for opening hours. Full details and contact information are available on the website.

The Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art presented the exhibition project "No More Walls" on November 5, 2025.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

As part of the XXXIII International Festival "Zodchestvo 2025," the Moscow City Architecture Committee and the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art, with the support of the Moscow government, presented the exhibition project "No More NETWALLS." This visual exploration of Moscow street art and its transformation into a new cultural element of the metropolis was presented by Sergei Kuznetsov, Chief Architect of Moscow and First Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Architecture and Urban Development (Moskomarkhitektura), part of the Complex of Urban Development Policy and Construction of the City of Moscow.

The "No More Walls" stand invites you to see how street art is becoming part of conscious urban policy and helping us reimagine familiar routes. The project demonstrates how street art is evolving from an element of underground culture into a tool of urban planning, bringing people together, enlivening spaces, and filling the streets with creative energy.

"Street art is timeless. Its strength lies not in eternity, but in its precise timing. The city is a living organism, and its visual language should be renewed just as naturally," says project curator Sergey Kuznetsov. "Our goal is to create an ecosystem where professional artists have the opportunity to express themselves creatively in the city. Regulation here isn't censorship, but rules of the game that make the process transparent and fair. We want art to become a natural part of urban culture, so that businesses see it not as a burden, but as an investment in meaning. The constant emergence of public art in the city is a sign of a healthy artistic environment. Street art should live in the rhythm of the city: appearing, resonating, and disappearing, making room for new voices."

The exhibition stand concept was developed by the architectural firm KRNV. The exhibition showcases street art as a complex system of interactions between artist, city, business, and society, revealing its energy, which is always "on the edge": between the moment and eternity, between freedom and the system, between the personal and the collective. The exhibition includes photographs and sketches of striking projects: NETSTEN, Angel, Agatha, Hesse's mural, and others, as well as an interactive map of urban interventions.

Project curator: Chief Architect of Moscow Sergey Kuznetsov. Co-curators: Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art, Sergey Kuznetsov's press secretary Maria Ulyanova, and Irina Kuznetsova, curator of exhibition, educational, and publishing programs at the Moscow Committee for Architecture.

The first legal outdoor gallery, NETSTEN, opened in 2019 at the initiative of the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art with the support of the Moscow Committee for Architecture. Since its inception, the gallery has hosted seven exhibitions featuring leading contemporary artists: Kirill Kto, Misha Most, Vova Nootk, Max Ima, Gosha Ykor, Zhihar, Zhenya Voynar, Andrey Aznet, Sergey Ovseykin (Zukclub), and many others.

A new chapter of the cult project "Once Upon a Time: The Kingdom of Russian Fairy Tales" will be released on October 14, 2025.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On October 15, 2025, a major relaunch of the "Once Upon a Time" exhibition, which became a true cultural phenomenon last season, will open in the historic dungeons of the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art. This is not just a refreshed exhibition, but a rebirth of its format. The first chapter of the project attracted over 80,000 visitors and became a "place of power" for families, the art community, and tourists.

Now the project's creators are presenting a sequel, "Once Upon a Time: The Kingdom of the Russian Fairytale," expanded with new spaces, stories, and characters. The project is maturing: it not only entertains but also explains the structure of a fairy tale, the archetypes and meanings behind familiar plots. The format and content have been reimagined: from the visual environment to the narrative, from the route architecture to the ideological core. After the re-exposition, the project now features new semantic and visual pairings.

"Working on the new version of the project, we explored the constant elements of the Russian fairy tale—its plot, archetypal characters, and ways of embodying magic. The exhibition shows how these constants—reflections of the collective imagination and worldview of the past—have changed over time: from folk tales to original and Soviet tales, where familiar motifs acquired new interpretations and meanings. We also delve into the mythology of our time to see which phenomena today are 'accumulated' with an aura of wonder and enter into dialogue with tradition," notes project curator Polina Kotova.

The exhibition opens with a hall where visitors are greeted by images of A.S. Pushkin, A.N. Afanasyev, V.I. Dahl, and V.Ya. Propp—collectors and researchers of the Russian fairy tale. This area sets the tone for the updated, "mature" exhibition.

Furthermore, new "wow" objects have been erected in the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art's underground spaces: a giant bogatyr's head, a life-size Baba Yaga in the Bilibin style and her ominous hut, a winter kingdom, and a renovated "Mushroom War" featuring King Pea. There's also a stable with the Little Humpbacked Horse, a smithy with a Tula anvil, and fairytale animals. A special highlight is the expanded Hall of Soviet Fairy Tales, which recreates the atmosphere of a Soviet interior with iconic film images, artifacts, and illustrations, including, for example, the Soviet version of "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" and "The Frog Princess." For fans of the "golden era" of Russian cinema and animation, this space will be a nostalgic feast.

The exhibition's immersive spaces are designed to immerse viewers in a fairytale-like experience: wandering through a dark forest, encountering wondrous creatures, and returning to a bright expanse. It's not just a spectacle, but also an experience of personal transformation. Based on viewer feedback, the project's organizers have made the exhibition more accessible, enriched with explanations and symbols, while preserving the magic of the first season.

The exhibition features works by contemporary Russian artists: Dania Pirogov, Elena Kovylina, Artur Krivoshein, Alexey Vasiliev, Alexander Vinogradov and Vladimir Dubossarsky, Alexander Krylov, and others.

"This isn't just an exhibition, but a space for meaning and dialogue between generations. Through familiar images and plots, viewers will be able to see how fairy tales were created, how their characters were conceived, and the ideas behind the stories we've known since childhood. Here, you can re-immerse yourself in a fairy tale, see its structure, and understand how true magic is born from simple images," comments project producer Ilya Dybov.

Children, adults, and even four-legged guests are welcome here – if last season the exhibition was dog-friendly, now it is also cat-friendly.

The exhibition is open until January 31, 2026.
