Dialogue of Lines
The main idea of the project is to create a large international artistic bridge between Russia and China, connecting artists, cultural institutions, and key creative centers of both countries. The art catalogue will include selected works by modern artists from Russia and China, articles by art experts, diplomatic messages, and materials about cultural institutions. The artworks are selected by a specially established expert committee.
The catalogue will be the main document of the project, its cultural core and the first step toward strengthening artistic relations between Russia and China.

The Artist’s Studio
For decades, newsreels and documentaries have preserved for future generations not only works of art, but also the artists themselves — their voices, views, characters, creative positions, and the time in which they lived and worked. Thanks to these testimonies, today we can see and hear the outstanding masters of the past, perceive them not only through works and biographies, but also as living people.
Today, a significant part of modern artistic life remains undocumented. Artists create works, participate in exhibitions, form an artistic environment and become part of art history. However, the person himself — his voice, worldview, creative path and testimony of his own time — often remains outside the cultural memory.
The Artist's Workshop project creates a documentary chronicle of the artistic life of our time.
In the center of each film is the artist in the space of his own studio. His works and creative path, personality and worldview, reflections on art, profession, culture, time and human life.
The film crew strives to preserve a vivid and authentic image of the artist in the space where his works are created and a significant part of his creative life takes place.
Each film is an independent documentary portrait. Together, the films form a single audiovisual archive of artists of our time.
The project is designed for long-term development and consistent creation of a series of films about masters of different generations, art schools and trends.
Our task is to preserve not only works of art, but also the people who create them.
Creative Residency Network
The project envisions the creation of modern spaces for temporary residence and work for artists, sculptors, architects, musicians, composers, writers, directors, and other creative professionals.
Each residency is conceived as an independent architectural project, created in direct connection with the nature, landscape, and cultural environment of a specific region. The architecture of the projects does not require a single, standard solution: the character of each space is determined by the location in which it is created.
Residencies may include creative workshops, spaces for individual and collaborative work, living quarters for participants, public areas, and the necessary infrastructure. Particular attention is paid to outdoor work and the interaction of creative individuals with the natural environment.
The project is aimed not only at artists from a specific region. The residencies are being created as gathering points for participants from various regions of Russia, and eventually from other countries, facilitating professional exchange, the emergence of new creative connections, and the development of interregional and international cultural cooperation.
One of the project's goals is to create new cultural focal points across Russia. The residencies have the potential to become part of the modern cultural infrastructure of the regions, fostering domestic tourism and the creation of new cultural spaces outside the largest cities.
The network will be developed in stages—as suitable sites are identified, partnerships with regions and municipalities are developed, and individual architectural projects are developed.
Russia. Different territories. Different architecture. A unified cultural network.
Russian artists
The main idea of the project is to create a unified online space for modern artists to build a community of creators and increase the public presence of national artists in the digital environment. The platform provides easy access to artists' work and allows interested audiences to find them quickly. Through the online catalogue, artists do not need to create personal websites or manage promotion — all tools are available in one place.
The catalogue also serves as a space for interaction between artists and potential partners, such as collectors, galleries, and exhibition organizers. We purpose to create a reliable resource supporting cultural exchange, artist development, and the growth of modern art in Russia.
Key features: • A unified national digital platform • No need to create a personal website • Simplified communication between visitors and artists • Clear and structured presentation of information • Opportunity to present artworks to a wide audience, including professionals • Increased public recognition of emerging artists and support their creative growth • Opportunities for interaction with potential commercial partners
