Moscow Store of Contemporary Culture

by Xenia Adjoubei


The Moscow Store of Contemporary Culture is a project which aims to reinstate non-monetary value in relation to contemporary arts, including fine art, literature, cinema and much more. The Collection strives to bring about the sacralisation of contemporary culture in today’s Moscow and integrate Russian contemporary culture into the world community.

The new building will house the art collection, main store, public store, viewing rooms and mediatheque. Follow its development here >>

“In a bizarre dream I saw how the world around me was being projected onto the night sky in the form of a zigurat, or rather that it was contained within it, some vast archive, a reflection of the city and its worries and its creations in a structure. I saw it from across the river, a large mass, an inhabited ruin, walked by shifting forms in its higher stories. It must have certain reachable recesses, inner courtyards, and a way to reach the top.”
