stablished in 2004 by Nadezhda and Andrey Agishev
Type of activity: support of cultural projects
Main projects or exhibitions:
The Foundation supports creative initiatives
aimed at preservation and promotion of the
art and at the same time implements its own
projects. The most important programme
is “Prochtenie”, which relates to the phenomenon of Perm wooden sculpture. As a
part of this programme, “Christ in Prison” (a
330 ICOM
masterpiece of Perm wooden sculpture from
Pashiya Church) was restored. An absolutely
new exclusive publication of “Perm Wooden
Sculpture” book by Nikolay Serebrennikov
was done together with “Khudozhnik i Kniga”
Publishing House. “Kudymkor, Locomotive of
the Future” project was presented in 2009 at
the Third Moscow Biennale of Contemporary
Art. That project won the first prize in “Curatorial Project” category at the “Innovation”
5th Annual All-Russian Awards in the Field of
Contemporary Visual Art. Ekaterina Degot
was the curator of the project. The project
was devoted to the personality and works of
Petr Subbotin-Permyak – a Komi-Permyak
artist and enlightener. Among the most significant exhibition projects of the Foundation
was the opening exhibition of the two artists –
Pavel Svedomsky and Aleksandr Svedomsky,
which had had great public reaction in Perm.
Another large project organized together with
“New Collection” Foundation was “Soviet
Idealism” (2006). Owing to the Foundation,
“Videnie” exhibition took place at PERMM
Museum of Contemporary Art in 2009. The
Foundation has its own art collection: mainly
these are works of contemporary Russian art
and works of Perm artists. Since 2010, «New
Collection» Foundation has been cooperating
with the Ural Office of National Center for
Contemporary Arts. The Foundation became
an equal partner in implementation of “Port
City” Alisa Prudnikova’s project. In March
2012 the Foundation helped to arrange “(Un)
conditioned Reality. New Art of Perm”, exhibition at Erarta museum of contemporary art
in Saint Petersburg as a part of “Russia in
Erarta” project, which is aimed at popularization of the works of contemporary Russian artists from different cities and regions of Russia
far from the metropolitan art stage
Foundation also supports theatre

The industrial museums are generally oriented
on the youth – as potential future workers
and specialists. It explains why the educational function of such museums tend to
become the key one. The museum organizes
physics, geography, economics, history and
ecology classes and prepares a professionalprofiled activity for teenagers “I’d like to be a
hydro-engineer… Let them teach me!” Statistically, the most popular class for the 1–4
graders is “The properties and the importance of water” where kids answer the questions walking down an excursion route. They
are also encouraged to carry out experiments
on the play models. This way the museum
becomes a scientific laboratory where one
can check out his knowledge and show his
talents.
Is the Hydropower engineering museum in
Uglich one of a kind?
There is a whole series of museums on Russian hydroelectric stations. The works of
the elaboration of a corporative expositions
network begun in 2004. All the museums
included in this network share the same
idea of the museum content and design, but
all of them have their unique character and
appearance. Museums on the hydroelectric stations are conceived as the open air
museums. In addition to the traditional exposition in museum’s buildings, they also imagine
the exposition spaces on the station. Every
project has planned an excursion route with
multiple viewing platforms. Today, there are
12 such expositions – on the Volga, Kama,
Sulak, Zeya, Yenisei and Kuban rivers. In
parallel with preparing the exposition on
the hydroelectric stations, a virtual museum
is being created. It contains detailed 3D
(3-demensional) interactive models of every
already existing museum, founded in the
framework of the program. This way, a visitor
of a Volga hydroelectric station can get familiar
with the expositions in the Far East or in the
Caucasus.
Is the museification of the industrial heritage
a part of the project?
The main theme of the exposition is the history of the industrial technics and science.
The original equipment, put in operation in
the 40-s of the 20th century was dismantled
for the technical re-equipement and was included into the exhibition. The diameter of a
turbine wheel is equal 9 meter.
What is the difference between the corporate
museums and their mission in Russia compared to the foreign museums?
Overall, their missions and goals are comparable, but in Russia a particular accent is put
on educated future specialists. It is fascinating how one can guess what are the leading
industries in the country just by looking the
themes of its corporate museums. In Russia, for example, there is a large number of
museums on the energetics and oil and gas
industry.
How are the museum funds collected? Is it
done by the museum professionals?
A huge work of elaborating and collecting the
museum funds was done. An office of the first
hydroelectric station was renovated and put
into the central house. A whole exposition has
been created about the history of the hydrotechnical installation construction – without
omitting the question of forced labour of the
prisoners and the migrations of the populations
from the flooded territories. Those subjects are
being massively used as arguments against
constructing new hydroelectric stations. The
museum possesses a unique collection of
documents – original testimonies of the aforementioned facts and events so that the visitor is
invited to elaborate his own opinion on the true
story of the hydroelectric stations construction.
What is the significance of multimedia in conceiving such exposition?
Namely the modern technological equipment helps to establish an effective dialogue
335 ICOM
Organizations
with the young visitors as it presents itself as
communication on the level they are most
used to, the way that is the most natural and
understandable for them. The Uglich museum
is planning a major rearrangement of its
exposition to introduce the newest technologies in the closest future. The existing exhibition will be enriched with game-like virtual elements using the technology of virtual
reality. A new exposition will be created which
will allow the visitors to go on a virtual tour inside the hydroelectric generator of the Uglich
hydroelectric station.
How do you imagine your museum in the profiled exhibitions and festivals? How do intend
to share your experiences?
Every year the museum participates in the international event “Museum Night” and in 2012
a new exposition “Renewable energy” will be
opened for the International Museum Day.
In 2011 the Uglich museum was of the five
finalists on the Sienkiewicz National tourism
Award for the Best regional museum. In 2012
the museum representatives participated in
the “Educational programs for schoolkids”
workshops in the Copernicus Center in Warsaw, Poland (a contest organized by the
Dmitry Zimin “Dynasty” foundation). The
museum is also an active participant in the
municipal and regional events and festivals.
