The Russian Pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale will host a retrospective on Andrei Monastyrski and Collective Actions entitled Empty Zones. The Collections Actions group was founded in 1976 and continues to work to this day. Members include: Nikita Alexeev, Elena Elagina, Georgy Kizevalter, Igor Makarevich, Andrei Monastyrski, Nikolai Panitkov, Sergei Romashko, and Sabine Hänsgen.

The concept of the show is life as a type of artwork and will include 125 of their event oriented photo documentations. The exhibition will focus on specific actions that have been developed in both rural and urban environments to capture a contemporary aesthetic of art manifesting itself as an innate human experience.
