"Dead Souls" is a new project within a series of exhibitions under a conventional name "Russian Anthology".  Together with the previous exhibitions ("Fathers and Children", "War and Peace", "Wit Works Woe") this project is a research into a theme that has become classics of Russian literature.

Today it is the novel "Dead Souls" by Nikolay Gogol. The name of the novel is conceptual in itself. Every reader of the book can detect numerous connotations in the very title "Dead Souls".
It is no coincidence that more than thirty of our  well-known, talented and respected artists related to the Moscow School of Conceptualism are taking part in this project.

Each of these artists' projects deserves a special research. They all are of particular interest.

Some of these projects correlate with the others, some do not. But what is interesting - together they form most positive and ironic picture of Our Time!
