The Gallery initiates another artistic program Project - Cult - Prosvet expanded in time and space.

The idea of the Project is to widen the comprehension of contemporary art display and integration of this art into the frameworks of real social industrial sphere. In this case the sites of exposition shall be exhibition halls of technical equipment, engineering, structural engineering, metallurgical manufacture, agricultural sector and so on up to the trade fair of present-day armaments and space technologies.

The experience of expanding the contemporary art beyond the limits of artistic framework is insufficient and may be characterized as mainly spontaneous and one time.

As far as the historical analogies are concerned there undoubtedly exists a fair tradition of releasing the art out from workshops and exhibition halls directly into manufacture, "into public". This tradition as the product of well known social order was enthusiastically accepted by the left-wing artists of the Soviet Russia and generously dignified proletarians, peasant village and suspicious NEPmen of that time with its peculiar intonation. "PolitProsvet" carriages of every possible kind, the famous "Okna Rosta", plans for monumental propaganda and the like PR projects of those having the power were reciprocated with a zealous response of the artistic sphere of that time. The working unit was contributed by the artists of that time mainstream that is nowadays called "classical Russian avanguard". The project proved to be rather fruitful yet fainted in the course of time.

The peculiars of the contemporary Moscow art define the will to widen the horizon of communication and stimulation of the mutual interest on behalf of people far from art. This was the outset of a next in tern initiative of the Krokin Gallery.

The first traveling exhibition of the Project - Cult - Prosvet shall take place in the exhibition complex Crocus-Expo, the 66th km. of MKAD and present painting and graphic arts of an outstanding Moscow artist Konstantin Batynkov who is at the same time exhibiting a personal show "Bulldozers" in the Krokin Gallery at 15, Bolshaya Polyanka Street.
