Getting Started at Manege

On Thursday 2nd August we dragged our suitcases through the city streets from our flat to the gallery. After surviving that ordeal we met Alyona, who took us to the space where we would set up our work. Later Larisa, the Curator, arrived. She explained she had a new idea for our installation and showed us an alternative space nearer the entrance which had a huge wall. We were delighted because it was lighter and gave us more room for visitors to circulate around each clothesline and gather round the table to make roses and write messages.
