Grace Studio has created an exhibition that takes a look at artists that were members of secret societies.

The studio brought together over 150 artworks, artefacts and archive documents of artists who were members of secret societies or informed by their esoteric interests, in the exhibition 'The Other East and Esoteric Knowledge in Russian Art 1905–1969'.

Grace Studio designed the exhibition architecture, designed as three different types of spaces, arranged as subsequent rooms along Garage's East Gallery and clothed with 850 meters of pleated veil.

The distinctive character of these three types of space – the shrine, the archive and the museum – is generated by the different angle of the exhibition surface, on which the artworks or the archival material are displayed.

This project has been longlisted in the exhibition design project category of Dezeen Awards 2020.
