New Collectors Foundation

For the second year in a row, as part of the Cosmoscow non-profit program, the New Collectors Foundation for the Support and Development of Contemporary Collecting is showing private collections of contemporary art in order to highlight the role of a collector in the system of cultural processes.

This year, the Foundation is presenting the un[PAK]ing exhibition of selected works from the young and dynamically developing collection of Denis and Mila Pak. For the Pak family, collecting is a pleasure, and each piece is a living chronicle of life, connected with personal history, inner search, and hobbies. Today, the collection includes works by both established masters of the Russian art scene, such as Mikhail Roginsky and Olga Chernysheva, and emerging artists, including Diana Kapizova and Marina Kasperovich.

The concept of the stand is based on stimulating curiosity, the basic instinct of a collector. It welcomes the viewer to "discover" the art hidden behind the cabinet doors. Such interactivity is in tune with the mobility of the exhibition, which will be replenished with acquired works throughout the fair.
