Critical Mass Moscow Art Magazine 1993–2017 Published by Garage Museum of Contemporary Art. Edited by Kate Fowle, Ruth Addison. Text by Ekaterina Degot, Kate Fowle, Oleg Kulik, Ekaterina Lazareva, Viktor Misiano, Dmitry Vilensky, Anatoly Zhilyaev, et al. With the launch of Moscow Art Magazine in 1993, curator and critic Viktor Misiano gave readers access to a rich variety of theory, criticism and artists’ texts by Russian and international writers. It is the only independent art journal in Russia which has weathered the country’s economic crises and continued to publish innovative, at times challenging art writing up to the present day. Arranged thematically, texts range from the hopeful manifestos of the early 1990s after the breakup of the Soviet Union, to the angry, politically engaged art of the 2010s.
