In Spring 2019, RAAN users will get access to information on the collection devoted to philosopher Boris Groys and journalist Natalya Nikitina from the Research Center for East European Studies (University of Bremen, Germany). RAAN partners will make available to the public over 160 previously unpublished documents on people and events related to the Moscow Conceptualists who took part in the making of MANI. The four-volume archive was edited by artists Andrei Monastyrsky, Vadim Zakharov, Viktor Skersis, Elena Elagina, Igor Makarevich, Anatoly Zhigalov and Natalia Abalakova, all of whom, like many other participants of the project, belonged to the Moscow Conceptualist circle. ![]() These include manifestos and art theory writings, photographs, original artworks, and exhibition-related materials. MANI consists of materials collected by Moscow artists, poets, and art theorists to document their work from 1980 to 1982. In October 2018, RAAN users will get access to documents related to the Moscow Archive of New Art (MANI) from the collection of the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, USA. From the very beginning, the platform was developed not only as a digital storage space for documents on the history of Russian contemporary art, but also as a public online encyclopedia open to all users. Besides data, users get an opportunity to see events in a broader context. RAAN is an Intelligent Network, where each entry is linked to others based on contextual, historical or subject matter connections. In the first ten months since its launch, the RAAN website has grown to include 56,328 entries: videos and photographic materials, books, correspondence, invitations, press releases, artists’ sketches, and other materials from Garage Archive Collection. Zimmerli’s collection will become the first international addition to RAAN’s online archive. Last year Garage initiated the launch of RAAN (Russian Art Archive Network)-an international project developed in collaboration with Zimmerli Art Museum and the University of Bremen. ![]()
