Moscow Contemporary (MosCo) is organizing an exhibition for artists from the region. See the attached invitation letter and informational flyer about the exhibit. Please share far and wide through your networks.

We are happy to receive submissions of completed work. If someone has an idea for an installation or other projects, we encourage submissions of ideas that might need assistance to be realized. Also, we encourage submissions for lectures, readings, performances, or other event ideas that could use the exhibit as a backdrop for a presentation.
