Afisha

In April 1999, Oskolkov-Tsentsiper teamed up with Andrew Paulson and Anton Kudryashov to found the highly influential Afisha magazine. Afisha had a profound effect on Moscow’s cultural and nightlife scene and broke new ground with its mix of informed commentary, listings and reviews.[7]

Oskolkov-Tsentsiper brought together a team of young journalists, designers and photographers to create a unique Afisha style which had a major impact on Russian media. Many high profile Russian artists made their first public appearances on Afisha’s front cover and the magazine popularised several new fashion trends – even introducing numerous new words into the Russian lexicon, from “deadline” to “hipster”.[8]

All subjects are taught in the English language. Strelka’s educational program is one of the most successful and bold educational experiments worldwide thanks to a ground-breaking combination of the school, research center and public social venue.[18] Its first curator was Rem Koolhaas, a Dutch architect and winner of the Pritzker Prize.[19]
