Art dvizh
non gallery

a community-driven cultural initiative that transformed a condemned historic mansion into a temporary hub for non-gallery art exhibitions.

If a building becomes architecture, then it is art

The Demolition

By 2024, many historic buildings in central Moscow were being demolished to make space for new residential developments. This process affected not only the architecture of the city, but also the independent cultural environment around these spaces

One of these places was an abandoned mansion on Podkolokolny Pereulok, located near art studios and local creative communities. The awareness of its upcoming demolition became the starting point for ArtDvizh.

PREPARATION

At the time of access, the building was in a neglected condition. Dust covered the floors, and the walls showed years of decay. We saw beauty in this ruin. It was the perfect raw canvas for our art, waiting to be brought back to life.

The first artists were invited to fill the empty rooms with meaning. Paintings, sculptures, and lights transformed the dark corners. The silent house suddenly became a living, breathing space where old memories and new art came together.

The space was cleared and minimally prepared. We did not want to hide the history of the old mansion. Instead, we gently cleaned the rooms, fixed unsafe areas, and set up basic lighting. The goal was to keep its raw, forgotten spirit alive.

About us

It was only 3 of us, who put our lives to save this historical place

The project was created by three collaborators —
an artist, a photographer, and a florist.

Together, we prepared the space, organized
exhibitions, and worked with artists, transforming
the abandoned building into a temporary
exhibition venue.

OPENING

After preparation, the space opened to artists and visitors.

The exhibitions took place in a constantly evolving environment. As the scale grew, we stayed on site to manage the space and ensure the safety of the artworks.

The logotype was based on coded typography.
It references hidden information and restricted access.

No printed materials were produced for the project.

The building itself became the main communication medium due to its location and visual presence.
A spatial map was also created for navigation and safety.

I was responsible for the artistic direction, visual identity, and spatial experience of the project.

All decisions were made directly inside the building, based on its architecture and condition.

My role included developing the exhibition structure, coordinating artists, and supervising installations.

I also worked on visual communication and spatial organization.

INSPIRATION

Shortly after the exhibitions ended, the building was demolished.

For a brief moment, it became a temporary space for independent art.

The project showed how abandoned buildings can be used as cultural platforms before they disappear.
