Quest "Live in Moscow"

City labyrinth from Spiridonovka to Belyaevo. Based on the biographical sketches of D. A. Prigov.

Participants of the “Live in Moscow” quest will be on Spiridonovka Street, between Malaya Nikitskaya and Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya, where Dmitry Alexandrovich Prigov was born on November 5, 1940. By guessing riddles and puzzles, players will learn how the childhood of the future poet and artist passed in the conditions of the communal life of the war years, in what environment he grew up, how the system of his views, ideals was formed. Moving gradually in the southwestern direction, the participants will get to Belyaevo, a microdistrict in the southwestern part of Moscow, which from the point of view of architecture is practically no different from others.

Meanwhile, Belyaevo stands out for its rich intangible heritage. Important events in the cultural life of the country that took place in this region played a role in the development of one of the leading trends in Russian art of the second half of the 20th century - Moscow conceptualism. A bulldozer exhibition took place in Belyaevo on September 15, 1974, which allowed artists banned in the Soviet Union to get out of the shadows. Here lived and worked the poet and artist Dmitry Prigov, one of the most prominent representatives of the Moscow conceptual school.

After going through the iconic places of the district and completing all the quest tasks, the winners will be in the real apartment of D. A. Prigov on Volgin Street.
