This year the project is expanding its geography: art objects by the participants will appear in locales far away from the centre of the capital.
And new points of attraction will appear on the artistic map of Moscow.
For the second time in a row the ‘Here and Now’ annual review of contemporary art takes place outside the walls of museums and galleries. Works by its participants are placed on squares and streets, harmoniously integrating into the existing urban landscape and bringing contemporary art closer to the city’s inhabitants.

The works by contemporary artists transform the familiar landscape, changing ordinary squares and streets into original, lively places in constant dialogue with the architectural landscape of the capital.
