Curatorial practices have developed many strategies and approaches since the 1970s when the practice had been developed. Grand biennale projects, and blockbuster art shows, all these activities demonstrated how monumental the curatorial work can be. However, there are more chamber forms of curating, which are also very important for the sphere.

Small gallery open calls allow non-institutional curators to present their ideas on different independent platforms. But here I would like to focus on libraries as space for art and art curators.

A peculiar show named "ZINES." has been held in Nekrasovka Library in 2019. For the exhibit library employees chose a theme that interests a lot of artists around the world, but as a matter of fact, is historically close to Russian artists. This "accusation" is based on that Russian Futurist artists were the ones who turned upside-down the book publishing world at the beginning of the 20^th century. They were the pioneers of using non-book materials in their edition, making limited series, and assembling text and images on one lithograph stone. Today's contemporary artists had inherited, developed, and adopted this tradition to the present conditions of the art world.

The curatorial group invited illustrators, graphic designers, architects, poets, artists, and art historians to experiment with the zine format, so the viewers could see how universal this genre is. By doing this they spiritually joined the group of physical book advocates, who believe that nothing will ever replace a printed edition.

Ksenia Kalchenko, who is a member of Season–X–Why was one of the show participants. She says that the organizers of the exhibit decided to demonstrate the inner kitchen of zine artists by printing out some fragments from random Season–X–Why's interviews. From these pieces, we see a comic-book-like structure of the text arranged in sections. This way the viewers' eyes can "wander" in the labyrinth of the group's thoughts and ideas.
