Yuri Kuzin is an architect and artist living and working in Moscow. Born in 1964, he graduated from the Moscow Architectural Institute in 1987, during which time a new concept of “Paper Architecture” was developing among young graduates of the Institute.
The term described a movement of conceptual design, produced solely on paper, which allowed for a defiance of restrictions imposed by the state and as a protest against the cheap and quick nature of architecture at the time. The resulting body of work was often futuristic and utopian in nature and transgressed into various visual arts e.g. fine art, architecture, theater and literature. Since 1985 Yuri K. has been part of the collections exhibited nationally and internationally and contiues to produce art in that genre until today.
His works are in collections of e.g. State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, Centre George Pompidou in Paris and MOMA in New York.
