The 10th Art Moscow

Central House of Artists, Moscow

International Art Fair, 2006

May 17th through 21st 2006, at the Central House of Artists, ‘EXPO-PARK Exhibition Projects’ holds the annual International Art Fair ‘ART MOSCOW’. For ART MOSCOW, 2006 is a jubilee. For 10 years this focused exhibition of modern and contemporary art in Russia upholds the domestic art market’s reputation of a young (as yet), but progressive one. For contemporary art, the previous year was an institutional breakthrough and great success. 2006 is a very important year and, at the same time, a milestone for the fair that has been stimulating the intensity of the art process for all those 10 years.

As always, ART MOSCOW does not merely put emphasis on the commercial part, but wholeheartedly carries out the mission of enlightenment. This year, the Fair’s special projects continue to research the phenomenon of video art in Russia. Each year, the Fair’s non-commercial projects gather more and more force and reach the museum level. The 10th ART MOSCOW will occupy the entire Central House of Artists, 67 galleries from 9 different countries will take part in the Fair. The striking debuts of 2006 are: a German group of 10 galleries from North Rhine-Westphalia; galleries from Tallinn (Russkaya Gallery, Estonia), Vienna (Charim Gallery, Austria), Beijing (Xin Dong Cheng Gallery, China), and two galleries from Moscow, ARTStrelka and Ru Arts. A high level of the exhibits is guaranteed by the Expert Council, which unites the leading Russian and Western gallery managers, art theorists and art historians.

Over all those years, the Fair has not only been encouraging the development of domestic contemporary art, but has also been promoting its integration with the worldwide context, and vice versa - introducing the Western contemporary art to the Russian public. Taking up the last year experience, the Fair reaches the world level of organization of additional events accompanying the main one, grand openings and informal meetings, creating comfortable international surroundings for experience sharing and the birth of creative plans for future.

May 19th through 20th, within the framework of the Fair, the conference called ‘Art and Education. Educational Aspects of Publishing Activities in Modern Art’ will take place at the Central House of Artists Press Center, initiated and organized by the Interros Publishing Program. For the first time, Russian critics and students will be addressed by the curators of major international biannual events, Documenta 12 - George Shellhammer - and Manifesta 6 - Anton Vidokl, and other foreign and Russian experts in modern art and education. The Conference will be concluded by a round-table discussion, which will determine the approaches to the development of the publishing program for supporting modern art education.
