Arsen Zhilyaev (b. 1984, Voronezh, USSR) is a Venice-based artist and organizer of gatherings, exhibitions, quests, and scripts for (future) histories through a variety of conceptual practices. His projects often take the form of (para)fictional institutions and use the museum as their medium. Zhilyaev plays roles in the Institute for Mastering of Time and the Institute of the Cosmos, while tracing the reflections of the Museum of Museums in the Venetian lagoon. His works have been presented at Manifesta in Marseille and at biennials in Shanghai, Gwangju, Liverpool, Lyon, Riga, Thessaloniki, and the Ljubljana Triennale, as well as in exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou and Palais de Tokyo (Paris); de Appel (Amsterdam); HKW (Berlin); Kadist Art Foundation (Paris and San Francisco); GAM (Turin); and MAMbo (Bologna). Zhilyaev graduated from Voronezh State University (2006), the Moscow Institute of Contemporary Art (2008), and the MA International Program at the Valand School of Fine Arts, Gothenburg, Sweden (2010). He is a professor at NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti) in Milan and has given lectures and masterclasses at MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, Bard Graduate Center, and CUNY (New York); Tate Modern and Whitechapel Gallery (London); and Princeton University (New Jersey). Zhilyaev is the editor of the anthology Avant-Garde Museology (e-flux, University of Minnesota Press, V-A-C Press, 2015) and publishes articles on e-flux and in Moscow Art Magazine. His works are held in the collections of Tate Modern (London); M HKA (Antwerp); Kadist Art Foundation (Paris, San Francisco); and MSU (Zagreb).
