The State Russian Museum / The Marble Palace Georgy Pusenkov. Simply virtual installation
Since 1984, Georgy Pusenkov has actively contributed to exhibitions in Russia (Moscow, St Petersburg) and abroad (London, Dusseldorf, Bogota, Hamburg, Cologne, Toronto, Paris, Krakow, Bonn). He currently lives and works in Cologne and Moscow. Since 1987, the artist has been a member of the Hermitage association and the Moscow Union of Artists. This exhibition is the artist's second one-man show at the Russian Museum (the first was in 1995).
Georgy Pusenkov's creative strategy appeals to the mass communication that has long since usurped reality. Thanks to doubling and multiplication, a device employed in Pop Art, particularly by Andy Warhol, the power of a single image is raised to the level of an "icon" and, at the same time, presented as an endless variation.
The exhibition includes 46 works by Georgy Pusenkov (acrylic on canvas) created in recent years. The exhibition was organized with the Ludwig Museum cooperation.

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.

During the restoration, which lasted over 6 months, the staff of the Russian Museum not only eliminated the mechanical damage that the art objects had received at the time of the explosion, but also completely restored all 22 masterpieces, revealing their original appearance and artistic concept.
