For his exhibition at Kadist Art Foundation, Arseniy Zhilyaev creates an anti-utopian museum of contemporary Russian history. The title of the exhibition plays with the polysemous word ‘mir’ which in Russian means both ‘peace’ and ‘world’, and could read as an acronym for ‘‘Museum of Russian History’’. Arseniy Zhilyaev pursues his reflection on the Museum as an institution, and a legitimizing one at that, whose mission is to spread knowledge among a wide audience, as well as to express an official policy. The artist appropriates the discursive mode of a Museum of History to represent how Russian society could change during the next years.
