WINZAVOD Centre for contemporary art is one-of-a-kind venue representing the diversity of contemporary culture. First of all, WINZAVOD infrastructure is focused on support and development of Russian contemporary art, which is at the height of popularity. However until recently there was shortage of space, where general audience could do an exhibition of contemporary art.
Located only 15 minutes by car from the heart of Russia - the Kremlin - this former winery is now the heart of the country's burgeoning contemporary art scene. Once filled with the intoxicating aroma of wine, today it is filled with the heady excitement of creation where the new history of Russian art is being made.
Winzavod consists of seven buildings with a total space of 20,000 square meters located on privately owned, gated property. Four of the country's most prestigious contemporary galleries moved here as soon as the space was open: XL, Aidan, M&J Guelman, and Regina. And five more galleries have recently opened: Proun, Atelier #2, ArtBerloga, Fotoloft Gallery, and Gallery.photographer.ru. Winzavod is also home to artists' studios, a photography studio, an advertising agency, an avant-garde clothing store, a styling school, an art supply store, a bookstore and a stylish art-cafe.
visitors are representatives of the art-world (artists, art-dealers, critics), professionals in advertising, design, PR, TV, etc., students, tourists and everybody who is interested in contemporary culture. WINZAVOD regularly holds festivals and different educational courses, such as modern art, cinematograph, architecture and design as well as charity events. Close co-operation allows to establish connection between different communities, generations and styles.
