Over the past 10 years, Garage has developed from an exhibition space to a valued artistic institution. Today, Garage is not only a place for exhibitions, but also a grant program for artists, courses and a master’s program at the HSE, its own publishing house and library, cinema and lecture programs. Its activities, covering both Russia and neighboring countries, significantly affect the cultural education in Eurasia.
Garage Museum of Contemporary Art
This spring Garage has established its Endowment Fund so that any person or company could support the Museum. The income is accumulated by the fund and then being invested. Investment income received will be used to finance Museum projects or be reinvested. Those funds which are part of the endowment will remain there and be used to generate income. It is planned that the fund will help the Museum to generate capital for their work for decades to come.
The Leta team considers Garage to be one of the most important cultural phenomena in Russia. It’s not just a Museum of Contemporary Art – it’s one of the most modern museums in the world in its core. All of us constantly visit the exhibitions, schedule mettings in Garage Cafe and consider the building in Gorky Park to be our “place of power”. When we discovered that the Museum creates an endowment for its own sustainable development, the decision was made literally within 24 hours. Paperwork took two more weeks – and now, under the agreement with the Museum, until 2024 Leta will monthly transfer a portion of the funds from our income to the Garage Museum’s Endowment Fund.
We are sincerely proud that we have the opportunity to make our contribution to the development of contemporary and modern art, primarily in Russia. The “Garage” team is a group of people who are passionate about their work and create projects of amazing power and meaning. We are sure that there are still thousands of victories and achievements ahead ;-)
Last Friday we hosted a presentation of our current collection Modernism and also an opening of our first showroom at Roden Manor. It felt cozy and friendly that evening. We talked about the history of Leta and the creation of our collection, also received warm feedback from our beloved guests and shared our plans. Now you can visit our showroom at Kitay-Gorod and try on all your favorite items.
Last spring I was invited to Kaliningrad by the guys from Russian Amber to make some pictures, talk about amber and show the huge potential that this gemstone has.
Since the beginning of our story, we have been thinking about the necessity of having an ajustable chain lock on our necklaces and pendants. In the case of a pendant on a chain, it is a matter of aesthetics as to how you want to wear your favourite piece – tighter to your neck or closer to the decolatte. It is different and more critical in the case of a necklace as it could turn out to be too big or, the opposite, be so small that you couldn`t easily fasten it.
Today we launch our new collection – ROMA. This one became a modern interpretation of ancient Roman architecture. Its principal motives – narrow windows, semi-circular arches, clear symmetry of columns and oculi in the domes of cathedrals – are expressed in the pieces of this collection.
