Lecture by Olga Sviblova

One could also argue that Ms. Sviblova has done for the Russian contemporary art world what Mr. Cartier-Bresson did for modern photojournalism. In 1996, she founded the Moscow House of Photography, which later became the Multimedia Art Museum in Moscow. She has been a director there since the institution’s establishment. She has twice curated the Russian pavilion at the Venice Biennale and is also a noted filmmaker, having won various awards, including the Paris Critics prize at the Semaine de la Critique in Cannes in 1988 for her documentary ?Black Square,? about Russian avant-garde artists. Ms. Sviblova has also been the director of the Moscow Photobiennale since 1996, and over her career she has organized more than 500 photography and contemporary art exhibitions in Russia and abroad.
