"I AM NOT TURNING MY LIFE INTO A PRODUCT AND NEVER SELL MY PLEASURE TO ANYONE. PEOPLE WHO PAY ME ARE JUST WITNESSES OF HOW I ENJOY THE WORLD AROUND ME. EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE PROCEEDED FROM OVERABUNDANCE OF JOY, FROM THE PERMANENT FEEL OF SPRING…I PAINTED BECAUSE IT PLEASURED ME. MY ART DID NOT CORRESPOND WITH THE STANDARDS AROUND ME, AS WELL AS NOW, THOUGH."
Andrey Barteniev is a painter, sculptor and designer who is widely know as the creator of provocative experimental installations and performances. Based on the tradition of the Russian futurism, he creates phantasmagoric art objects and carnival costumes, turning himself into an art installation. Barteniev worked as a designer with the world famous theatre directors under different spectacles, performances and theatrical performances. He is the author of books and articles about art. The artist’s works were displayed in the most important museums outside of Russia, and are in collections of Russian and foreign galleries.

We recommend travelling to Mayakovskaya metro station. The walk to the AZ Museum will take around five minutes. After leaving the station, turn first to the right into the alley, then moving forward, at the first intersection, turn left to 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya street. Walk a few meters. AZ Museum will be on your right.
By car
There are paid parking spaces on either side of 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya street or in the nearest alleys. Parking is limited, and on weekends and public holidays, the parking lots may be full.
