About the Archive

The Archive of Voronezh Center for Contemporary Art was founded in 2009.

It is based on documentation of exhibitions organized as part of the Center’s pre‑institutional (2009–2013) and institutional activities (2013–2020). Officially, the Center existed until April 2023.

During the 11 years its existence there were over 60 exhibitions involving more than 150 artists. The Center’s archive includes information about exhibitions and other projects, press releases, biographical information about artists, photographs, video and audio documentation of events, interviews, press, and other materials.

In addition, the Center’s archive contains documentation of “parallel events"-art‑dance battles, the Yuri Antonov Fan Club, and other projects.

A special part of the archive is made up of documentation of educational programs accompanying exhibitions and independent courses organized by the Center.

The geography of the archive covers not only exhibitions in Voronezh but also in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov‑on‑Don, Krasnodar, Leipzig, and Vienna.
