An international self-organized artist group (with members based in Russia, Germany, and England), founded by students and graduates of Moscow-based art schools (IPSI, BAZA, Rodchenko School of Photography and Multimedia).


The group began in December 2016 with the creation of an artist-run space in Moscow. Over four years, it organized around 50 art events across Russia and Europe. In 2018, it presented an exhibition supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum and participated in the parallel program of the 6th Moscow International Biennale for Young Art. In 2019, the group took part in Copenhagen Art Week and Budapest Art Week. In 2020, it joined the First Altai Biennale of Contemporary Art, the 7th Moscow International Biennale for Young Art, became residents of Fabrichnye Masterskie, and developed a series of online events in collaboration with the NCCA (National Center for Contemporary Art) in Yekaterinburg.

Since its formation, the group’s composition has changed. Current residents of APXIV are: Anastasia Soboleva, Anna Tagantseva-Kobzeva, Vladimir Savostin, Dania Orlovsky, Ilona Vladovskaya, Katya Granova, Lika Gomiashvili, Nikita Kaem, Olga Klimovitskaya, Sofia Ovchinnikova, Ya Nzi.
