LOUISE BLOUIN FOUNDATION REGIONAL COMMITMENTS<br />
Russia<br />
In Russia, the Foundation supports initiatives in both foreign policy and cultural diplomacy. In foreign policy the<br />
Foundation recognizes that Russia is a critical partner in successfully negotiating any issue of global governance,<br />
ranging from climate change to international justice. In this regard, the Foundation seeks to cultivate relationships<br />
with the Russian government, advocate for a shift away from cold war rhetoric in the West toward inclusive dialogue<br />
and support the ongoing talks regarding Russian inclusion in the WTO. The Foundation will encourage the<br />
West, and NATO allies in particular, to collaborate with Russia to create strategic security for Eastern Europe,<br />
rather than forcing Russia into a defensive position. In each of these areas, the Foundation will consider the potential<br />
role of cultural exchanges to increase international understanding and cooperation.<br />
As part of its flagship work in cultural diplomacy, the Foundation will launch two cultural and digital projects to promote<br />
and support the region. In 2009, the Louise Blouin Institute, in partnership with Pace Wildenstein Gallery, will<br />
exhibit the works by artist Louise Nevelson in an effort to increase awareness of Russian art and culture. Through<br />
showcasing her most celebrated work, launching a retrospective volume on her works and organizing a series of<br />
other public events, the Foundation hopes to generate dialogue and discussion about contemporary life in Russia.<br />
The second project, New Roman Art, a collaboration between the Foundation and the Artchronika Foundation in<br />
Moscow, will be timed to coincide with the opening of the Frieze Art Fair. The Louise Blouin Institute and Louise<br />
Blouin Media will showcase some of the most innovative young artists working in Russia today on the international<br />
stage.<br />
Finally, the LINK Project will devote a special section to Russian development, listing organizations actively engaged<br />
in the region.<br />
