Is there any sense in the notion of "contemporary art of St. Petersburg"? After all, contemporary art itself is deposited in a museum with each decade, and its location is never the same. Meanwhile, the Petersburg text has been growing for more than one century, and consequently, the city is a deposit of thought in the events of art. The axis of Ekaterina Andreeva's book is drawn through those art events that are interconnected by the task of exploration and transportation into the future of images that insure life from entropy. It passes through the layers of the avant-garde of the 1910s, nonconformism of the 1940s-1980s, the art of the new reality of the 1990s-2010s, crossing the personal stories of Mikhail Matyushin, Alexander Arefiev, Evgeny Mikhnov, Konstantin Simun, Timur Novikov, and other artists-thinkers who transform life in the incessant "design of the self", in the re-creation of the cosmos. The subject of this book, composed of articles from 1990-2010, is the interaction of St. Petersburg's topos and logos in the turbulent history of the Modern Age. Ekaterina Andreeva is a candidate of art history, doctor of philosophy, art historian and curator, leading researcher at the Department of Newest Currents of the State Russian Museum.
