LabGarage Gallery
Kiev
How it started…
LabGarage gallery was formed early in 2009 as a result of the collaboration of young artists who work on contemporary art projects, music, performance, lectures, cinema and literature. Collaboration process took place in a garage community located on Velyka Zhytomyrska street in downtown Kiev, Ukraine.
Concept
The mission of LabGarage Gallery is to be an avantgarde, ad hoc art and social hub:
Crisis galleryThere are no illusions. Gallery is a supermarket of art. Art-counter. During the crisis a
stall or a safe is enough. The logical evolution of a crisis trend is black market, barter, selling from underneath the counter.
Non-stop galleryBeing located comfortably in the recreational and historical part of the capital, the
gallery gives a possibility of around-the-clock visitors’ contemplation of art objects. In order to keep the balance between permanent access to the expositions and ensuring safety to the exposed art pieces when the gallery is not open, the works can be seen and admired through the optical device in the door – the LabGarage peep-hole...
GarageFor today “garage” is a trend. LabGarage gallery is a new step in the evolution of
gallery space that aims to create a dialogue with artists and cultural institutions all over the world.
Concept
Gallery of openingsThe ergonomic principle of the gallery’s work, with the main accent
on the opening of a project/exhibition, triggers emphasis on the other important element of our activities – “opening” and discovering of new names, establishing new projects, dialogues and searching for new forms of expression.
AssociationLabGarage is a minimal area for a maximum of cultural exchange,
practice and collaboration. We initiate partnership with the widest range of representatives of art-world, from living legends to those who are making their first steps. Lectures, seminars, workshops, video-shows, literature evenings and other activities are an important part of our educational and reformative mission – Art to be. http://labgarage.livejournal.com/

Accomplished projects“TrolleyTram&Transp” by Max Roganov, Nastya Ryabova (Russia).06.08.2009 Everyday trips from point A to point B by public transport have become
absolutely mundane activities, that evoke boredom or even hate to its attributes: sounds, colors and forms. In a private car, on the contrary, the owner is in charge of all interior details and look. These details are carefully considered, most of the effort is put into them. Obviously, this is the fetishization of means of transport.
«TrolleyTram&Transp» is not an attempt to start the décor machine on the rotten institution of public transport. We are interested in working with the left-over material of the present, coloring it with the fantasies of the feasible.
The interactive installation by Max Roganov covers the wall with the musical-synthetic labyrinth. The cacophony of sounds produced by the viewers themselves will flow out of the installation pipes. The graphics by Nastya Ryabova, burning with socialistic dreams, will provide the unstoppable nutrition of the space with dots and lines.
Opening was accompanied with a musical performance by EnergyaddicktionTeam that took place on the roof.

Art SalesOn 28.08.09 - 30.08.09 the first art-sale
in LabGarage took place. It was garage sale of all the treasures
we have collected. You could buy unique objects for almost nothing or trade your own things – a flea market is not for income’s sake, it is a communication act, a chance to have a good time, and to feel like an antiquarian. Anyone could come and bring their friends.
Location and guests
LabGarage located on Velyka Zhytomyrska, 38 street in downtown Kiev next to the one of the most beautiful green area in the city – “Paisage alley”. That is a nice place to walk around and enjoy the peaceful view on green hills and Podil. Historically this place has been gathering art people. One of the reasons is that a popular touristic street Andriivskiy Uzviz, where art vendors and galleries are located, is not far away.
Location and guests
LabGarage is a location 35 m2 with a big courtyard and vast room on the roof top with a picturesque view. It can comfortably welcome 100-300 people.
