Sabina Chagina, Art Director of the Winzavod Contemporary Art Center and Artistic Director of the IV Biennale of street art ARTMOSSPHERE:
Two years ago, ARTMOSSPHERE received permanent institutional support from the Winzavod Contemporary Art Center and became part of it. Historically, ARTMOSSPHERE has been a large collective exhibition with a parallel program and special projects. This season we are bringing back the original idea of the show – street art should live in the urban environment, in the open space. The participation of CCA Winzavod in the project has had a positive influence on the final list of participants, and today we have not only subcultures, but contemporary artists as well. We have expanded the format. ARTMOSSPHERE today includes paintings and murals, as well as sculpture objects, video art, performances, and theatrical works. This is the first time ARTMOSSPHERE has become so multidisciplinary.
One of the leading events of the Biennale will be the joint project of NETSTEN (NOWALLS) and The Moscow Committee for Architecture and Urban Development: ARTMOSSPHERE artists will be cover a wall along the railroad tracks on the way to the Winzavod Contemporary Art Center with their paintings. Special projects will be shown at the Artplay Design Center.
