«Phase I» by Liliya Lifanova
22 january - 04 march 2011
We are pleased to present Liliya Lifanova: PHASE I, II, III, the first solo exhibition in a collobarative project at the Gridchinhall in Russia. The exhibition will feature new works in an ongoing site specific installation, which were created at the Gridchinhall. Lifanova arrived in Moscow through the Fulbright Program and intends to debut the final work between May and July 2012 at the Gridchinhall. «Paper Chapels» by Nikita Alexeev
18 December 2011 - 4 March 2012
 Nikita Alexeev's new project develops and condenses that special atmosphere effect inherent in artwork on paper: texts, graphic series, and installations are divided here into twenty separate sections - chapels. The artist says that these slight and unobtrusive aesthetics were inspired by the architectural style of Gridchinhall, with its constructivist inclination to simple achromatic materials, large windows and clean interiors. As an extension of the architectural aesthetics of the exhibition space of Gridchinhall, Alexeev constructs along the walls twenty theme niches such as: «Photosynthesis Chapel» or «Red Crosses Chapel», «Cheburek Chapel», «Useless Money Chapel» or «Winter Leaf-fall Chapel». Yet, contrary to the actual construction and function of a chapel (a small church building lacking an altar and permanent attendants, with occasional invited priests), Nikita Alekseev’s chapels do not imply any, even random lithurgic activities. These are museum type chapels that one could see in larger catholic cathedrals, that now function as museums. All ordinations here have already been thought out, all gifts delivered, all services have been already recited, and present day attendants only change flowers and replace explication pages taken by tourists. «Shame» by Vika Begalska
03 july - 11 september 2011 “It is tempting to treat Shame as a title of this exhibition not as the shame of sexuality, but as the shame of painting. During decades painting was a “mean” kind of art in Russia. Artists called it “daubing”. So, Begalska’s show is interesting with the fact that it rehabilitates painting as painting proper, and not as the conceptual gesture appealing to such traditional media as oil and canvas,” Anatoly Osmolovsky, the curator of the project, writes about the show.  «Barbara's Tortment» by Julia Kosulnikova
17 april - 19 june 2011
«Normal sado-maso gothic» that’s how famous russian music critic Artem Troitskiy called Julia Kosulnikova’s art. He was the curator of her first exhibition called «What Goes On In a Young Girl’s Mind?» in 2009.
Julia Kosulnikova was born in 1988 in Leningrad (St. Petersburg). She paints with acrylic colours and tempera on canvases of 165x210 cm size.  «Form & Colour». Maria Agureeva

 Oleg Khvostov «Absolute Painting»
19 December 2010 - 21 March 2011
Reproduction of "La Gioconda" by Leonardo da Vinci on the wall of rustic cuisine, the countryside "Sauna" of Z. Serebryakova as a reminder of unprecedented forty-degrees heat in summer 2010, an unusual herd of cows around Rublevskoe highway. All this served as inspiration for artist Oleg Khvostov. His new exhibition "Absolute Painting" opened at the end of December.
 «Kulik’s Hair» Dmitry Kawarga
24 April - 04 July 2010
On the basis of Dmitriy Kawarga exhibition in Gridchinhall there is "Kulik's hair" - real artifact from the beard of well-known artist.
30 January - 28 March 2010
“Pprofessors” group - Andrey Lublinskiy and Maria Zaborovskaya – creates both entertaining and recognizable projects-researches on the bounds of design and contemporary art. Exposition “Red people Art-Constructor” includes giant sculptures and small objects, print series on textile, comics, and video documentations about “Red People” travels. In this project authors examine formal figurative possibilities of standard unit in different contexts.  19 September - 13 December 2009
Most of Rembrandt’s drawings have a rather small format; their size often doesn’t even exceed a page in this book. But in these metal versions, they have been magnified a hundred times or more. This giant “blow-up” effect is one of my favorite devices. But one of the miracles of old art is that it can survive any magnification.
