COSMOSCOW 2015 to feature work by Rirkrit Tiravanija

September 16 - MOSCOW - Dasha Zhukova announced that the Rem Koolhaas-designed new home for the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, which she founded in 2008, will finally open its doors in June 2015. The space consists mostly of a heavily renovated version of a once-famous, now-dilapidated Soviet-era fine dining restaurant in Gorky Park, not too far from their current location, which is in the name part of town. Plans were first released back in 2012, so this has been a long time coming.

The Garage squad out in Moscow, which includes director Anton Belov and chief curator Kate Fowle in addition to Ms. Zhukova and Mr. Koolhaas, also rolled out the programming schedule for 2015. The initial slate of shows—spread throughout five exhibitions spaces in the 58,000-square-foot compound, which also sports an auditorium, a cafe, a screening room and a bookshop—will include a project by Rirkrit Tiravanija.
