If you are into cutting-edge art, or if you are into cutting-edge music, or if you just like hanging out with young cutting-edge artists and their entourages, this weekend you're in luck. The fourth Art.Who.Art exhibition starts Friday night and goes on until Sunday with exhibitions of paintings, photography, installations and performances by 50 up-and-coming artists.
The idea of the exhibition is to provide artistic unknowns with a venue that attracts art-lovers, buyers, journalists and galleries. To sweeten the deal, there will be a rich program of music, film, and general arty relaxation over food and drinks.
The festival begins on Friday at 7 p.m. and kicks off with concerts by Typemachine, Hospital and Mana Island. An after-party with DJs from radio Megapolis FM will play from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. Saturday is a day of public talks and discussions about art, starting at 2 p.m. Art performances will be on display from 7 to 10 p.m., and then the night air will be filled with the sounds of another Megapolis FM DJ set. On Sunday, an open-air theater will show video art non-stop from 2 to 7:30 pm.
The event will be capped by an awards ceremony on Sunday at 8 p.m. followed by more live music. All the exhibition spaces will be open from noon to 9 p.m.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
