RaiON.0
07.06.2019 – 25.08.2019
Venue: The Museum of Moscow, Moscow
Curator: Denis Sazonov, Alina Brovina and Egor Matveev
The project " RaiON.0" is an interdisciplinary exhibition of 20-35-year-old artists reflecting on the experience of post-Soviet existence. It will tell about the everyday life of the residents of the "concrete suburbs" and the history of panel construction. The authors invite you to think about the bedroom community of Moscow and the growing "unified" heritage of the XX-XXI century, recognizing the world of high-rise buildings as an inevitable future for all human civilization, and, consequently, a zone of collective responsibility. The exhibition is complemented by an educational program and performative practices.
The exhibition, which combines objects of urban history and works of modern art, overcomes the usual museum boundaries, and the reality of Russian cities is shown in a new focus. The artists apply to the understanding of the "panel" heritage the objective view of the younger generations — a hybrid of ironic comments on the stereotypical life "in the district" and social ideas for immediate change in each city.
