2Nd International Conference РЕШИТЕЛЬНЫЙ МУЗЕЙ The 2nd International Conference РЕШИТЕЛЬНЫЙ МУЗЕЙ The Reflexive Museum: Responsive Spaces for Publics, Ideas, and Art 20 – 21 March 2014 What is a 21st century museum of contemporary art? The Reflexive Museum: Responsive Spaces for Publics, Ideas, and Art will reflect on what it means to build a responsive institution focusing on current debates around notions of the public, the museum as a repository of experience, and the development of cultural spaces as laboratories for art production and creative thinking. The conference will explore historical precedents, as well as the rising phenomena of privately-funded, publicly-driven institutions that are changing the face of museum culture worldwide. Over two days, leading museum directors, curators, and art historians from around the world will share their perspectives through lectures, panel discussions, and case studies. Derived from Ancient Greek, the term ‘museum’ originally referred to a temple dedicated to the Muses. In more recent times, it has been used and construed differently in contemporary cultures to reflect a range of diverse practices. In Russian, however, the word ‘museum’ remains most often associated with the sole function of historic conservation, and unlike current European and American traditions, the Museum is described as ‘influential’ rather than ‘friendly’ and ‘responsive’; ‘reserved’ rather than ‘dynamic’ and ‘reflexive’. Finding a native equivalent to the adjectives ‘reflexive’ and ‘responsive’ in the in the conference’s title therefore proved challenging. Thus, for its Russian title, Garage has used the epithet ‘resolute’ to underscore the conference’s goals: first, to invite the Russian museum community to learn about the many possibilities for progress and development, and second, to act in accordance with the legacy of the Russian avant-garde artists, who created the first revolutionary model for a museum “intended to collect all kinds of existing art undergoing a change and designed to exert influence on life using it” (Kazimir Malevich, The Museum of Artistic Culture). Speakers: Zdenka Badovinac, Director, Moderna galerija, Ljubljana; Claire Bishop, Professor of Contemporary Art, Theory and Exhibition History, The Graduate Center, City University of New York, New York; Massimiliano Gioni, Associate Director and Director of Exhibitions, New Museum, New York; Ekaterina Golovatyuk, architect, OMA architectural studio, Rotterdam; Maria Gough, Joseph Pulitzer, Jr. Professor of Modern Art, Director of Graduate Studies, Department of History of Art and Architecture, Harvard University; Marina Loshak, Director, Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow; Jack Persekian, Director and Head Curator, Palestinian Museum, Birzeit; Christian Rattemeyer, Harvey S. Shipley Miller Associate Curator, Department of Drawings, Museum of Modern Art, New York; Natalia Samoilenko, General Director, Tsaritsyno State Museum- Reserve; Zelfira Tregulova, General Director, The Federal State Budget Institution of Culture of the State Museum and Exhibition Center ROSIZO, Moscow; Dominic Willsdon, Leanne & George Roberts Curator of Education and Public Programs, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Adjunct Professor in Curatorial Practice, California College of the Arts, San Francisco; Vasili Tsereteli, Executive Director, Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Moscow.

  • Art and Power in Putin's Russia
    RUSSIA Art and Power in Putin’s Russia BY SASHA PEVAK The separation between art and power in Russia’s recent history has never been clear-cut. Soon after the fall of the USSR, contemporary art, namely actionism in the 90s, openly criticized society and entered the political sphere. This trend continued after Vladimir Putin’s election in 2000. Russian identity politics in the 2000s were based on four pillars: state nationalism with the Putin’s “power vertical”, the vision of Russia as a nation-state, Orthodox religion, and the myth of the Unique Russian Path, reinforced by the notion of “sovereign democracy” and the idea of the omnipresence of a fifth column inside the country 1. The will to consolidate society around these values provoked, according to political scientist Lena Jonson, tensions between the State and culture, especially as far as religious issues were concerned. These issues were the cause of the trials against the exhibitions “Attention! Religion” (2003) and “Forbidden Art – 2006” (2007), shown in Moscow at the Andrei Sakharov Museum and Public Centre. The latter staged temporary events and activities based on the defence of Human Rights. For part of the national opinion, the Centre symbolized democracy in Russia, whereas for others it represented an antipatriotic element, all the more so because it was financed by foreign foundations. In 2014, the Department of Justice catalogued it as a “foreign agent,” on the pretext that it carried out political actions with American subsidies 2. In 2003, the exhibition “Caution, Religion!”, organized by Aroutioun Zouloumian, was vandalized by religious activists several days after the opening 3.

  • Edge of a Pine Forest Signed in Cyrillic and Dated ‘1884’ (Lower Right) Graphite and Charcoal on Paper 32.5 X 46.5 Cm (12¾ X 18¼ In)
    Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin (Elabuga 1832 - St. Petersburg 1898) Edge of a Pine Forest signed in Cyrillic and dated ‘1884’ (lower right) graphite and charcoal on paper 32.5 x 46.5 cm (12¾ x 18¼ in) Edge of a Pine Forest is an excellent example of Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin’s later depictions of forests. The naturalistic treatment and glimpses of unfolding vistas are characteristic of his style during the 1880s. Shishkin considered drawing to be an important branch of art. At this time the lines in his drawings are elastic and mobile, sometimes flowing, light and wavy, whilst at other times resilient and strong. He uses black lead in a light, free style but his pencil strokes are more animated and varied. Shishkin used a combination of pencil, charcoal, graphite and white chalk, which allowed him to achieve softer effects and a finer gradation of tone. Over forty years of artistic activity, Shishkin produced hundreds of paintings, numerous studies and drawings, and a large number of engravings. Many of these concerned forests and trees. An oil painting created a few years after the drawing, Forest in Mordvinovo (1891, State Museum and Exhibition Centre ROSIZO, Moscow), illustrates Shishkin’s use of an alternative medium to treat the same subject. Shishkin considered studies to be an integral part of the creative process, based on continual observation and reflection. The resulting level of detail does not detract from the unity of the picture, but contributes to a carefully thought out composition and the harmonious use of light colours. The present drawing was executed by Shishkin specifically for a project to demonstrate the potential of photogravure as a printing method.

By Olga Sinitsyna In May 1999 a significant international conference was organised in Moscow by ARLIS/Mos with the generous financial support of the ”Open Society” Institute (George Soros Foundation). The conference brought together about 150 participants from more than 20 Russian cities and more than 60 institutions. The organisers were honoured to host the international group of distinguished professionals in art librarianship from Australia, Denmark, Portugal, the UK, and the USA. It was the first conference of such a scale, devoted to specific problems of the art and particularly, museum libraries. The conference attracted not only the art librarians, but art historians, museum curators, administrators, managers, publishers, producers of the electronic products and others. The organisers did their best to draw attention of the museum directors and librarians from all over Russia. They collaborated with the Ministry of Culture of Russian Federation, ICOM, mass media and local government. Conference sites The Conference was hosted by the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, State Tretyakov Gallery and M. I. Rudomino Library for Foreign Literature in Moscow and a post- conference round table will took place in St. Petersburg at the Hermitage library, bringing together more local museum librarians.
