In the past ten years Vladimir Tarasov collaborated much with the symphony, chamber music and jazz orchestras of. Lithuania, Europe and the United States. His creative quests as of a composer and a musician are mostly in the domain of modern avant-garde music, though he often resorts to classical music, writes for the cinema and musical theatre. Installation as a type of contemporary art constitutes a peculiar part of his oeuvre where he works in collaboration with Ilya Kabakov a leading theorist engaged in the art of installation.

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

6 June—5 August 2024

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.
