Agency. Art Ru

Agency. Art Ru is a contemporary art institution founded in 2011 in Moscow. We perform as an exhibition-focused platform but also provide full-scale collection building, art consulting and research activities. More than a hundred different varieties of exhibitions were organised in our space during the past 10 years — from traditional expositions with museum-level artworks to cross-media projects by young artists. Our focus lies both on working with established artists who have formed the Russian contemporary art scene and on supporting promising names.

Artworks of the gallery’s artists are included in museum collections worldwide: MMOMA, New York; Maison Européenne de la Photographie; Tate Modern, London; State Tretyakov Gallery; the State Russian Museum; the Luciano Benetton Imago Mundi Collection; the Alberto Sandretti Foundation; Kolodzei Art Foundation (of Russian and Eastern European Art), USA; and more. Artists presented in Agency. Art Ru are award winners of the World Press Photo and Kandinsky Prize and participants of important biennales such as Manifesta and the Venice Biennale.
