About
KultProekt is a Moscow gallery dedicated to contemporary art, established in 2008 by Yulia Manusevich and Irina Solntseva. The gallery works with both major masters of the art scene and talented young artists. The gallery aims at conducting thematic art exhibitions presented with complex projects, which include the publication of catalogs, hosting master classes of artists and photographers, meetings and lectures. The gallery aims at conducting series of exhibition projects combined in a single cycle. The gallery hosts exhibitions which explore interdisciplinary interests.
Solo exhibitions are rather rare for the gallery; they mostly represent artists of a truly polyphonic talent who work in different genres simultaneously acting as authors of texts and theatre designs, masters of livre d'artiste and brilliant painters, decorators, and architects. E.g.: Yuri Kuper, Tonino Guerro, Boris Messerer etc.
Curators of the gallery are interested in immediate problems related to environmental issues and the development of architecture. These issues were reflected in the cycle of exhibition projects called “Environmental Contexts”, in which more than 20 artists from different Russian cities participated. The gallery participates in local fairs of contemporary art. It hosted exhibition projects at the Central Manage as part of Art Manege fair, at the New Manege as part of the HUDGRAF, at the Central House of Artists at the Art Moscow fair and CosMoscow in Gostiny Dvor.
The gallery desires to participate not only in local fairs and art shows, but also in international ones. KultProekt participated in the Manifesta - 10, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art", frequently takes part in the Moscow Photo Biennale, Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art and Volta Basel. The gallery has done more than 100 exhibition projects.
