ZIP
(2009)
The art group ZIP was founded on the 9th of September 2009 in Krasnodar by four young artists: Eldar Ganeev, Evgeny Rimkevich and the brothers Stepan and Vasily Subbotin. The group is located at the site of a former Soviet factory called ZIP (the Russian abbreviation for Factory of Measuring Devices). In their own words: ‘It all began in the late summer of 2009. We were looking for suitable space for creativity and also for an exhibition space. By chance we saw the Krasnodar factory of measuring devices. The place immediately impressed us with its power. Enormous abandoned spaces, where we were faced everywhere with artifacts of the Soviet past. We were seeing the ruins of a civilization which we knew virtually nothing about. The factory is a very important place for us. We have a project entitled “Utopia” in which our factory becomes a kind of independent state – an “island” of freedom for artists and creative people.
Since forming ZIP have exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions across Russia and abroad. Most recently their work has been exhibited at the Garage Centre for Contemporary Art, Moscow (2014), the Krasnodar Institute for Contemporary Art, Krasnodar (2014), and the State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow (2013). ZIP also participated in the Fourth Moscow International Biennale for Young Art and in the Manifesta 10 Parallel Programme in St Petersburg.
