The initiative for creating a Museum of Contemporary Art in Perm's River Station Hall came in 2008 from senator – and millionaire - Sergey Gordeev. He and other donors (such as Lukoil and Viktor Vekselberg) have promised to give about 3 million a year to the new museum. The venue’s director is Moscow gallerist Marat Guelman who also curated its first show, Russian Povera. The second show included artists Dmitry Vrubel and Victoria Timofeeva's in an exhibition titled The New Testament Project, presenting works based on contemporary photographs culled from news agencies and the Internet. A work, in Boris Groys’ words, about “the paradox of modern faith.” The show ended last April. For more information see http://www.permm.org/.
