New art venues in MoscowWinzavod Located only 15 minutes by car from the heart of Russia the Kremlin this former winery is now the heart of the country's burgeoning contemporary art scene. Once filled with the intoxicating aroma of wine, today it is filled with the heady excitement of creation where the new history of Russian art is being made. Winzavod consists of seven buildings with a total space of 20,000 square meters (215,000 square feet) located on privately owned, gated property. Four of the country's most prestigious contemporary galleries moved here as soon as the space was open: XL, Aidan, M&J Guelman, and Regina. And five more galleries have recently opened: Proun, Atelier #2, Pobeda, Fotoloft Gallery, and Gallery.photographer.ru. Winzavod is also home to artists' studios, a photography studio, an advertising agency, an avant-garde clothing store, an art supply store, and a stylish cafe. In its short history, Winzavod has hosted the Second Moscow Biennale, lectures by Norman Foster and Robert Wilson, the World Press Photo international exhibition, and other events including exhibitions of paintings, design, sculpture, and photography. Unique exhibitions and pro-active curators made Winzavod Moscow's premier cultural center virtually overnight. But the appeal of private property, close proximity to the city center, and a complete array of services keep drawing exhibitors, the press and public, and make Winzavod a space where art is not separate from life, but truly a way of life.
