The Rem Koolhaas-designed museum in Moscow masterminded by Dasha Zhukova opened to much fanfare last week. Garage Museum of Contemporary Art is the first contemporary art museum to land in the capital since the fall of Communism.

With 65,000-square-feet of space to cover, the verdict is still out on the new venue. Buzz is already surrounding a Louise Bourgeois show in the works for September. Of note now is Katharina Grosse's large-scale installation "yes no why later" and Yayoi Kusama installations that spill out into Gorky Park, covering trees with white polka-dotted red cloth. 

And a work of art not on display: Taryn Simon's "Black Square XVII." There is a blank space left on the wall for Simon's work, scheduled to debut in...3015. Since it is made of nuclear waste, reports the NYT, it will take 1,000 years to rid the piece of radioactive material.
