Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art is the first and the largest private contemporary art center in Russia which unites galleries, educational programs, studios, workshops and showrooms. By bringing together all areas of modern culture in one space open to a wide audience, Winzavod supports contemporary Russian art and creates a comfortable environment for its development.
The mission of CCA Winzavod is to support and develop contemporary Russian art
The activities of CCA Vinzavod are strategized in four directions: New Names, Vinzavod.Gravitation, Art Market, and SRA Archive (Science, research, art, archive). On the basis of the Winzavod Central Exhibition Center there is the Winzavod Charitable Foundation for the Support and Development of Contemporary Art.
Winzavod.Gravity is an exhibition, publishing and public programs whose task is to collect an anthology of contemporary art. Every year Winzavod.Gravitation presents a large-scale exhibition, the theme of which is determined by a guest curator, and publishes a catalog book that includes documentation of the exhibition and research on a given theme with the involvement of external experts.
An actual project in the direction of New Names - Open Studios, a platform combining the principles of a workshop, residence and art school on the basis of one of the leading Russian art institutions.
The key project of the Art Market direction: Association of Galleries, WIN-WIN Contemporary Art Market.
Association of Galleries, established in 2020 on the initiative of Moscow galleries of contemporary art and the Winzavod Foundation. The project represents the interests of the art industry at the private, public and international levels.
NII Archive (Science Art Research Archive) is a new direction of CSI Winzavod that combines institutional archive with exhibition, publishing, public and grant programs. The aim of the direction is to systematize and research the materials and knowledge on the history of Russian contemporary art accumulated over the period of work of the Winzavod CSI and to put them into a general cultural and historical context.
WIN-WIN Contemporary Art Market is an initiative of the Winzavod CSI aimed at supporting the contemporary Russian art market. It is an opportunity for independent artists and creative associations to present their works on an equal footing with galleries, foundations and publishing houses. For the visitors of the market - a space to get acquainted with the authors, expand the collection with works by emerging and established artists at democratic prices.
In 2022 Winzavod opened Workshops, a space for artists to organize their work process in a community of like-minded people.
You can learn more about the support of the artistic community from Sofia Trotsenko's interview for The Blueprint.
Sofia Trotsenko, founder of the Winzavod Contemporary Art Support Fund:
"We were scared of course, but first of all we were scared that we wouldn't be able to make an actual statement. It seems to me that everything has succeeded, and that's what contemporary art is to live in tension. I don't remember a period, except for very short periods of time, when contemporary art would feel absolutely calm and free, in free flight".
Today, the main mission of Winzavod is to support and develop contemporary Russian art.
