Furthermore, Garage will become the first partner of Deutsche Bank in Russia for the Deutsche Art Card – a free admission complimentary card to all Garage exhibitions for the bank’s clients.
Deutsche Bank has been committed to promoting contemporary art for almost 30 years. Under the motto “Art Works”, the bank systematically acquires contemporary international art and displays it in the bank buildings and exhibitions around the globe. Comprising of more than 56,000 artworks, the Deutsche Bank Collection is one of the world’s most important collections of works on paper and photography.

Garage presents a program of exhibitions by international and Russian artists and serves as a catalyst and meeting point for Moscow’s emerging arts scene.
Igor Lojevsky, Chief Country Officer, Deutsche Bank Russia and CIS commented: “In Russia, cultural initiatives play a special role in Deutsche Bank’s activity. The bank has supported numerous projects and exhibitions over recent years. The patronage of Garage will drive forward Deutsche Bank’s commitment to contemporary art in Russia.”
Daria Zhukova, the founder of Garage comments: “As one of the most important supporters of contemporary art in the world, it is our great pleasure to be working with Deutsche Bank as a corporate patron, to have them as the sponsor of Art Experiment 2011, and to be included in the Deutsche Bank Art Card programme in 2012. It is with the passion and commitment of partners such as Deutsche Bank that Garage is able to continue its programme of bringing projects and exhibitions of an international calibre to Russia and, in turn, presenting emerging Russian artists to an international audience. Having Deutsche Bank as a partner during our relocation and their being an active participant and supporter when Garage re-opens in Gorky Park is very exciting for us.”
