This exhibition emerges from Zaryadyology, a collaborative research project, carried out by anthropologist of architecture Michal Murawski together with a students and staff at the Vysokovsky Graduate School of Urbanism.
The research team carried out participant-observer research within and around Zaryadye Park; as well as organizing a series of Zaryadyological roundtables at several Moscow venues, including Triumph Gallery, the Higher School of Economics, the Dostoevsky Library and the Stalinist skyscraper on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment.
Our methodology emerges from the concept of ‘ethnographic conceptualism’, as coined by Nikolai Ssorin-Chakov. Our curatorial work is intended to act as an ethnographic conceptualist portal between
Zaryadyological research and art.
The artists selected to take part in the project — all of them based in Russia — have chosen the focus and title of their works themselves, but they have been asked to respond to the work-in-progress results of our Zaryadyological research: to incorporate their interpretations of the ethnographic material presented into the conceptual and tangible substance of the Zaryadyological roundtables.
