GridchinHall

"You would ask: «what is this?» and «what is it for?». A lot of modern artists have got projects, which are difficult to implement in gallery format. We are orientated on those special original projects and ideas in contemporary art and culture. The prerequisite for non-profit art project’s realization from the very “zero” is the intersection of many necessary conditions in a single point. My private initiative as Gridchinhall’s founder is to create such a point. The main priority for the exhibition hall is to perform significant culture events of the high artistic and public values.

I believe that Gridchinhall is lucky with the location. The nearest Moscow area, Dmitrovskoe village on Ilynskoe shosse (highway) is an exceptionally beautiful spot. This place has been known since XV century. It is located along the ancient Big Tsar Way to Zvenigorod. Even though geographically it is near to prestigious “Rublevka” it is oriented to everyone interested in contemporary art, regardless of residence. Exhibition hall has its own special feature - closeness to the nature, which has already become a part of some expositions.

Exhibition hall was founded in autumn 2009. Since that time several full-scale art projects have been carried out. These are “Rembrandt’s Drawings” by Dmitriy Gutov, “Red People. Art-Constructor” by “Pprofessors” group, “Kulik’s Hair” by Dmitry Kawarga, «Stands» by Sergey Voronzov.

Gridchinhall is also conceived as a residence for artists, kind of a space for cross-cultural exchange. During the work on the projects artists live and work in the studio, specially organized for that purpose in Gridchinhall.
