Today in Moscow, the Rem Koolhaas-designed Garage Museum of Contemporary Art officially opened its door. Boasting an expansive 5,400-square-meters of space, the building features a double-layer polycarbonate facade that has been intentionally elevated above the ground to create a sense of visual connectivity between the interior and the museum’s exterior park. Additionally, two 11-meter-wide sliding panels jut above the rooftop terrace create a uniquely recognizable silhouette. Inside there are five separate exhibition galleries, a bookshop, cafe, screening room, auditorium, education spaces and a creative center for children.
As of now, each of the exhibition galleries is home to five separate international projects, launched in support of the opening. The interactive installations come courtesy of Yayoi Kusama, Ririt Tiravanija, Julius Koller, Erik Bulatov and Katharina Gross. If you’re in Moscow, this new addition to the art world is well worth the stop-in.
