Public House

The factory was covered with dust from the reconstruction of the foyer and music hall all summer and almost of September. Therefore the Public House will not just open another season which is loaded with exciting concerts, openings, theatre shows and other events – all above it reveals the new interior of the building. We cordially invite you "baptize" these restored spaces. Let's MeetTheNewFactory! 

MeetFactory Gallery
Slav Squatting and Its Discontents — opening
Slav Squatting moved out of the post-Soviet suburbs and is now taking over the internet. It’s also taking over our minds through its simple yet catchy form, combining Buddhist meditation with thug life street style. For those of you who don’t know what Slav squatting is – snap! – I only have one piece of advice: ask Boris. As for the rest of you – oh, my Slav brothers! Once again we have an opportunity to feel proud of our Eastern European origins, and you can be sure we will celebrate with this exceptional exhibition.
