The Moscow Museum of Modern Art is planning a large-scale program for 2025. Visitors will be presented with retrospectives, personal exhibitions of young artists and research projects, and the museum will also take part in regional festivals. Details are in the mos.ru article.
“The museum is one of the city’s key venues where Muscovites and visitors to the capital can get acquainted with contemporary art. This year we are implementing more than 40 exhibitions, including a large-scale project dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War,” noted the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the city Department of Culture
In February, the exhibition “This is the best we have. The Art Newspaper Russia’s choice” opens in the building on Gogolevsky Boulevard (10). It is based on the most striking interviews with artists published in the publication over the past 10 years and collected in the book “The Art Newspaper Russia presents: 25 interviews with contemporary artists. 2014–2024”. The title of the exhibition was inspired by the work of Valery Chtak, one of the authors whose works will be on display. It will bring together artists of different generations — from Ilya Kabakov and Erik Bulatov to Recycle Group — and will demonstrate a wide range of creative approaches, a variety of styles and views represented on the Russian art scene.
On April 30, an exhibition dedicated to the 80th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War will open in the building on Petrovka. The anniversary project focuses not only on works from the museum’s collection, but also on Russian military memorials and monuments. The exhibition is dedicated to commemorative practices — visual forms of collective cultural memory of the last 30 years. The curators examine striking artistic ensembles, often complex works by groups of authors. One of the central themes of the exhibition is Victory Park on Poklonnaya Gora in Moscow, the ontology of images and themes associated with the Great Patriotic War. Of the diverse works of art from the 20th–21st centuries, those were chosen that reflect the phenomenon of memory not literally, but on a symbolic level. The exhibition also includes works by artists who are war veterans and works created in 1941–1945.
In the autumn, Petrovka will host the exhibition “Head of a Contemporary. From the Collection of Denis Khimilyayne”, curated by Alexander Dashevsky. The project will unite works of Soviet unofficial art and Russian contemporary art, and will help to understand the principles of selection and the taste of the collector. The exhibition, consisting of 18 sections, will reveal a wide variety of topics – from fear and despair to humor, paradoxes and dreamlike images. The exhibition will feature works by Vadim Sidur, Boris Sveshnikov, Nikita Alekseev, Vladimir Yankilevsky, Khaim Sokol, Vladislav Mamyshev-Monroe, Semyon Faibisovich, Boris Orlov, Francisco Infante-Arana and other masters.
Personal projects of contemporary artists
In March, Gogolevsky Boulevard will host an exhibition by Evgenia Tut about human self-awareness, being in a place of power, and sacred encounters. In August, the same place will host an exhibition by Georgy and Irina Totibadze, covering 10 years of their work and displaying both widely known and new works. In the spring, Petrovka will host a series of works by LU (Lyusya Solovieva) created specifically for the Moscow Museum of Modern Art and dedicated to the nuances of human emotions that often remain unexpressed. In the summer, the same place will host an exhibition by Ksenia Dranish, an artist who addresses images of the unconscious through painting, ceramics, installations, and video art. At the end of the year, Gogolevsky Boulevard will host an exhibition by Rostan Tavasiev, “The Hare’s Path to the Stars,” bringing together the author’s key works from the last 20 years, from game motifs to science fiction.
Also in 2025, solo exhibitions of Elena Surovtseva, Irina Zatulovskaya, Oleg Ivaschenko, Alexandra Mitlyanskaya and other authors will be presented.
In June, a retrospective exhibition of Boris Messerer will open in the building on Gogolevsky Boulevard. The exposition will allow us to follow the entire creative path of the outstanding painter, graphic artist, and stage designer, who worked in various genres. This project will be one of the key events of the upcoming season for the museum. Viewers will see both Messerer’s early works and his latest series of abstract compositions. For the second time in Moscow, Boris Asafovich’s early paintings from the 1950s and 1960s will be shown.
Work will continue with the legacy of outstanding authors of the second half of the 20th century. In the fall, the museum will introduce visitors to a retrospective of Yevgeny Gorokhovsky (1951–2021), timed to coincide with the 75th anniversary of his birth. The exhibition will showcase key works from museum collections and private collections, as well as works that have not been exhibited before.
Research projects
In 2025, the Moscow Museum of Modern Art will continue to develop its research initiatives. The long-term program “Collection. Viewpoint” offers a new look at works from the museum’s collection. One of the projects will be the exhibition “Love Me as I Love You”, dedicated to the theme of romantic relationships. Object art, video art and photography will be displayed alongside classical painting. In May, the exhibition “In the Closet” will open, where artists will explore the transformation of furniture and familiar and customary forms into artistic ideas through their interpretation. In the summer, the exhibition “Early Graphics by Viktor Umnov and Its Context” will open, focusing on form-building in graphics of the 1960s and revealing the artist’s work in a broader cultural context.
In the autumn, the EMA Expo 2025 exhibition will open in the museum’s educational centre (17 Ermolaevsky Lane) – a large-scale event dedicated to the themes of sound, technological art and related disciplines.
Vadim Sidur Museum and Dmitry Nalbandyan Museum-Workshop
The Vadim Sidur Museum will continue to explore the artist’s personal myth. This year’s projects will unite the image of a symbolic garden and its significance in the culture and work of Vadim Sidur. Viewers will see sculptures, graphic series, archival materials and excerpts from literary works, and will also be able to consider his art in the context of the latest artistic practices. This will open up opportunities for contemporary young artists – the museum plans to exhibit works by Anastasia Rybakova and Alexander Pozin in dialogue with the works of Vadim Sidur.
The Dmitry Nalbandyan Museum and Studio will continue to rethink the return to the Soviet past through the artist’s personal experience and history, and will display documents and museum items. The young artist Kutka will work on studying Nalbandyan’s personal archive at the invitation of the museum. The project will include a series of photographic works with embroidery, installations and textiles that will draw attention to the connection of times and the memory of generations, and will also allow us to turn to the legacy of Nalbandyan’s family archives from the Soviet period.
Regional projects and support for young artists
In the summer, the interdisciplinary festival of contemporary art “Tuzhi-art” will be held for the third time in the land art park “Tuzhi” (Zabaikalsky Krai), in which the museum will take part. One of the goals of the project is to preserve the unique identity of this place and integrate it into the all-Russian cultural context. In 2025, four creative residences will open at the festival.
The series of regional projects will be continued by the festival of contemporary art “Territory. Irkutsk”, where the Moscow Museum of Modern Art will present an exhibition from its collection. This exhibition will be the second project in Irkutsk within the framework of a joint program with the festival. Among its main objectives are the development of cultural exchange and familiarization of viewers with one of the largest collections of Russian art of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Support for young artists is a very important area of the museum’s activity. Over the years, thanks to it, viewers have become acquainted with dozens of aspiring authors, and many of their names have since become known to the general public. This year, the exhibition halls on Gogolevsky Boulevard will present five personal projects by artists Oksana Afanasyeva, Yulia Vorobyova, Yukiko Ogawa, Maria Smolyaninova, and Elena Sharganova.
There will also be a traditional annual exhibition of young art, “Workshop,” where artists will be able to work with the museum’s collections, conduct artistic research, and show the results of their work within the museum’s walls in December 2025.
In addition, it is worth noting the cooperation with other institutions. As part of the continuation of a long-term joint program with the GES-2 Culture House, the museum will help artists implement their projects using high-quality materials and advanced equipment. The result this year will be two exhibition projects at the main sites of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art.
