hi, @awillbrown! I work in museum and so yes - I love go to exhibitions.
it's a difficult question about the Garage. comme ci comme ça. someimes they make not so good exhibitions at all, it's a pity especially when it's a good art (I remember my disappointment with the exhibition of Rothko). it seems strange that they have made 'museum' from "center of contemporary art' - such a conservative descision! why museum? (and in Russia so horible beurocraratic laws about museums). but the same time they have done science department and ecxellent archieves. as usually there are something good something bad. so many things i can say. but in Russia the very existence of contemporary art is the difficult question in all sences - politically, aestitically, ideologically, culturally. I see very cleary how changes cultural policy last few years (you can see it on projects of the State Tretyakov's gallery, for example). so I say only one thing: I'm glad the Garage exists.
I'm reading your posts and the site - interesting!

@mysticegoistic, it is very important. Do you have any books they've published in particular that you'd suggest I find?

@awillbrown, I'm pretty sure you know most of these (Obrist, Krauss, Sontag etc - finally in Russian, super, but there aren't unexpected things). I noticed you made project with Terry Adkins, so I think maybe you will be interested this http://www.conceptualism-moscow.org/index.jsp?id=-1&lang=en
and this http://conceptualism.letov.ru/CONCEPTUALISM.htm
These are materials of Moscow conceptualism, which were collected by artists, not institutions, so they are full enough and authentic. In these archives there is the time.
