The present-day art process is definitely dependent on context. The real, non-mythologized value of concrete phenomena of Russian art cannot be determined without understanding the entire situation of world art.
German Neoexpressionism from the Sanders Collection, Verging on the Limit (American video art ), Gottfried Helnwein, Installation by Brian Eno are only a few examples of the exhibitions which have already been organized within the framework of the project.
