History The history of art squat began on March 13, 1987—on that day, the former shared apartment No. 20 in the apartment building under repair was annexed by artists. This association not only had no official status, but was literally underground.Alexey Parygin Про искусство (в ритме автобиографии) // St. Petersburg art notebooks, # 58, St. Petersburg: AIS, 2020. — P. 247
In the workshop, poetry readings and debates on contemporary art were held. Young artists, musicians, and writers exchanged their ideas. Books were self-published.
