Slava and the North
Curated by Vsevolod Saplin
Artist Nastya Miro and artist Vsevolod Saplin, working together as part of the creative collective Platform 112, present the exhibition Slava and the North, hosted by the Ekaterina Cultural Foundation, with the support of Artzip Gallery.
Against the backdrop of the harsh yet magical landscapes of the Arctic, and artifacts of the proud and heroic exploration of the Far North, the artists tell a story through diverse artistic forms — one that can be described as a "return home." The exhibition, comprising paintings, installations, videos, audio recordings, and an art object, is divided into several sections that offer viewers different scenarios of this nostalgic journey.

The Garden Keeper
Curated by Sergey Dorokhov
The exhibition space is transformed into a labyrinth garden, which only its keeper is truly capable of comprehending. But what do we protect when we stand guard over a garden - a flourishing order or the wild exuberance of life? The memory of the past or a vision of the future?
The Garden Keeper is not only an observer but also a mediator between worlds: culture and nature, form and chaos, the visible and the concealed. The exhibition explores the very act of contemplation, with the garden serving as an archive of perception and feeling. It invites not just passive admiration of beauty, but a conversation with life's vital force - a realm where we are both hosts and guests.
The project seeks to find a balance between the fragile and the monumental, the classical and the modernist, the play of light and the fracture of form. The Summer Garden is a dream, an attempt to tame nature through reason, to create an ideal world where ancient gods coexist with beds of peonies, and the symmetry of tree avenues follows not only the laws of geometry but also those of utopia.
