Trekhprudny Lane. Moskva 1991–1993

Trekhprudny Lane in 1993. That is where ten young artists had for two years been living and working in an apartment block, where they had carried through an unbroken series of events and installations every Thursday at 19.00. Gradually this had developed into a central point in Moscow’s art life — a literal and witty answer to the prevailing art life situation and a number of ideas and masterpieces of western art. Or as Avdey Ter-Oganian, the protagonist of the group, puts it: “Great art in one place, soup in Russia”.
