The Ruаrts Gallery presents ‘PRTL’, the first solo exhibition by young fine art photographer Alex Partola as part of the ‘Debut’ project. ‘PRTL’ is simultaneously the title of the exhibition, the artist’s nickname, and a reference to the key symbol of this project – the portal. Partola, who works with both analogue and digital photography, creates visual narratives that draw the viewer into another world. His works are not only images of buildings and landscapes, they are also an exploration of transitional states, both physical, from one space to another, and metaphorical.

Street Art Storage (SAKh) and the Ruarts Gallery, together with Inloco, announce the exhibition ‘13’, which will open on 5 April and last until 10 May. The show will feature works by 13 ‘street wave’ artists. Each of them has gone from street art to institutional recognition, while still maintaining connection with their origins. At the SAKh exhibition visitors can see works from the storerooms of one of the oldest galleries in Moscow, created in a variety of techniques: painting, graphics, assemblage, collage and carving. Moreover the project will represent a cross-section of Moscow ‘street wave’ art, presented in a St. Petersburg art institution.
