project description
The author of the project is of the opinion, put forth in Boris Groys’s article ‘Moscow Romantic Conceptualism’( first published in 1979), that the intrigue is seen in the contradiction of these three words (rather than two, as it always seemed), three incompatible notions, creating an inner tension to this day. The word ‘romantic’ and ‘conceptualism’ here are suddenly enforced by the precise geographical indication- ‘Moscow’ (to say ‘New York romantic conceptualism’ would be an absurdity). These three words, from the very start, created the topic of the whole article. It only remains to grasp what exactly caramel and a botanical garden have to do with this.
organiser
 A full-length article about the project will be in the catalogue of the 2nd Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art which is
coming out on the 1st March.
