Over the past few decades, many of Moscow’s 70-plus billionaires have gone abroad to establish art enterprises. Leonid Mikhelson is turning that tide with the opening, a stone’s throw from the Kremlin, of GES-2, a second home for his Venice-based V-A-C Foundation.
The architect Renzo Piano has spent five years transforming a disused 20,000-square-metre power station into V-A-C’s new artistic hub, with gallery spaces and a 420-seat, glass-fronted playhouse as well as a library, learning centre, residency block and restaurant. A former vodka warehouse nearby will become a centre of ‘experimentation and cultural production’ for the local creative community.
