In 2020 Garage will be the Museum of the Year at Cosmoscow International Contemporary Art Fair in Moscow. At the fair, the Museum presented a booth based on its Archive Collection, the world’s largest archive on the history of Russian contemporary art. The display was organized as an interactive cabinet of curiosities, featuring equipment for the storage, restoration, and digitization of analogue video, since many materials arrive in the archive on VHS, Betacam, or MiniDV cassettes and require special storage conditions.

The booth introduced visitors to various video formats and ways of processing them. Along with learning about the history of Garage Media Archive, visitors was able to take part in the digitization and restoration of video cassettes and digitize cassettes from their family archives. Selected videos showing art events in Moscow and St. Petersburg from 1985 to 2020 was screened on the booth, including documentation of exhibitions and performances, archive footage, and recordings of interviews and TV shows.

philosophy

A complex research which aims to highlight the quality of architecture over any other aspect. We believe that architecture plays a meaningful role in society and that architects should be able to share the beauty they manage to create through their works, in a well mannered and considerate way: free of distractive advertisements and unpleasant commercials. Complesco is therefore a focused platform that wishes to take architecture to the highest level of consideration, believing that an appropriate selection will win over quantitative and generic architecture that is taking over the places we inhabit. Complesco is a tool to stop cheap apathy and indifference, towards a possible future of surrounding beauty.

Do not hesitate to contact us at info@complesco.com. We make it our priority to reply hastily!
