when i lived in vancouver
and worked at Dutil in Gastown, they carried a line called Kova&T, which makes pretty cute stuff, I remember taking a liking to their catalog, anyways, one of the girls behind the line recently opened a museum in Moscow (with the backing of her millionaire boyfriend) she turned the former Bakhmetevsky Bus Garage into The Garage Center for Contemporary Culture (GCCC Moscow), the museum is a non profit venture aimed at the promotion and development of contemporary art in Russia, the strange thing about her is that she has two names, Dasha Zhukova and Daria Jukova, I guess its two different spellings of the same name, I find her to be pretty intelligent, in an interview she said she never talks about religion, politics or money. Did I mention she used to be a model too..
