The artist’s architectural objects are located on seven hectares of swampy landscape.
The Veretevo estate is located on the site of a former pioneer camp. Previously, there were festivals of contemporary and youth art, as well as numerous art happenings. On the territory of the art hotel there are unusual monuments, a private farm, secluded gazebos and picnic areas. Now Alexander Brodsky Park has been added to this list.

You can make a walk in the park more conscious thanks to the guidebook, on the texts of which the architectural critic Grigory Revzin worked. As Grigory noted, “this park is about how to escape from a pioneer camp. There are a lot of places where you can hide in it, and they all seem to be made by the hands of the pioneers themselves.”

Some architectural objects are thematic libraries, which are compiled by curator Anna Narinskaya. The symbiosis of the park and the books is explained as follows: “They are connected on so many levels that they are even arranged almost identically: paths are storylines, and objects are events. And that’s why the park is an ideal space for reading.”
