People. But in more detail: a project that this year turned 10 years old. During this time, it was possible to hold 3 publications and 5 exhibitions in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Berlin. The third part of the book has just come out of the press: on May 30 the exhibition “Parts of Walls 3” will open at the Ruarts Foundation and on June 1 the presentation of the book will take place.
It’s very interesting to see what’s coming.
