Russian collectors of contemporary art in the international context

What distinguishes Russian contemporary art collectors from their foreign colleagues? Do they build their identity through synchronization with global processes and trends in the art world or through opposition to them? The speakers will discuss the importance of private collecting practices for the formation of the cultural landscape and their influence on the development of the contemporary art scene both in Russia and abroad. They will share their collecting strategies and thoughts on the current geopolitical and economic conditions. Are these conditions a challenge, new opportunities, or an insurmountable obstacle to the development of the domestic art scene?
