MOSCOW - Dasha Zhukova, the partner of Russian billionaire RomanAbramovich, presented plans Thursday to move her Moscow art galleryto a structure built of giant paper tubes in historic Gorky Park. "I think this is a really beautiful pavilion and it's reallyexciting for Moscow. There hasn't been anything quite like thisbuilt here," Zhukova said at a presentation in the park. Zhukova, who is also known by her formal Russian name Darya, openedher Garage gallery in Moscow in 2008, hosting lavish shows ofinternational contemporary art.
It had to move out last year, but a new permanent venue in GorkyPark will not be ready until next summer. "While we are a little bit homeless, we thought a temporarypavilion would be a good solution," Zhukova said. Opening this autumn, the pavilion will have a six-metre high outerwall of paper tubes, enclosing a shop and cafe and a800-square-metre steel-walled exhibition hall. The paper tubes, 60 centimetres in diameter, will be insulated andwaterproofed, meaning the heated structure could even be usedpermanently, said Japanese architect Shigeru Ban.
"This is going to be a temporary structure, but I am hoping to staylonger," he said. Ban has previously built a paper tube gallery for fashion designerIssey Miyake and also temporary homes for earthquake victims. The project's budget is still being fixed, Garage director AntonBelov told AFP. The gallery will stand beside a pond in Moscow's Gorky Park, whichhas been transformed from a Soviet blue-collar fairground in a hugeregeneration project and now hosts foodie events and free yogaclasses. Zhukova opened her Garage gallery after restoring a Constructivistformer bus garage and put on major exhibitions including an Ilyaand Emilia Kabakov retrospective and sculptures by Britain's AntonyGormley.
It had to move out to make way for a planned Jewish Museum ofTolerance. In a massive project funded by Abramovich, Zhukova's gallery is duenext summer to move into a disused 1960s-era former restaurant inGorky Park. Ultimately the gallery plans to occupy an historic pavilion calledthe Hexagon dating back to the 1920s but the building is currentlyjust a roofless shell sprayed with graffiti. "We are developing various concepts for the Hexagon, nothing isready yet," Zhukova said. I am Drinkware writer, reports some information about swiss music boxes , inlaid music boxes.
