The State Russian Museum / The Marble Palace RUSSIA FOR ALL. Exhibition project by Victor Bondarenko and Dmitry Gutov
The Russia for All exhibition project by the inhabitants of Moscow Victor Bondarenko (the author of idea of the exhibition) and the artist Dmitry Gutov is connected with the practice of contemporary art and realized in the form of the trip across Russia with stops in different cities. Now this movable exhibition that earlier was presented in Tver and Nigniy Novgorod, has a stop-off in St. Petersburg that is traditionally a multiconfessional and multinational town.
The Russia for All exhibition project appeals to the wide audience of the viewers and polemically directed against any manifestations of nationalism. The exposition includes 80 canvases where instead of images there the names of many of well-known men who glorified the Russia: the rulers, religious figures, military leaders, scientists, the representatives of different forms of culture and art are written and their national roots are indicated.

For the Glory of Russia. Entrepreneurs and Patrons in Russia in the 18th – Early 20th Centuries

Merchants, the “third estate”, at that time, were the basis of Russia’s economic power. The Stroganovs, the Demidovs and other entrepreneurs sometimes established entire “empires” with their own settlements, roads and internal regulations. The richest merchants became nobles and patrons of the arts. The exhibition is unique, both in the themes it explores and in the works it presents.
