Dima Filippov (b. 1989, Gornyak, Russia) is an artist and curator. He studied at Altai State Academy of Arts and Culture and graduated from the Institute of Contemporary Art, Moscow. Since 2013 he has been a co-organiser of the non-commercial experimental exhibition space Elektrozavod Gallery (Moscow). At present he is focused on artistic research into the border regions of Russia, organising exhibitions in places that are not considered spaces for art, such as fields, abandoned territories and former factories.

Dima Filippov’s works reproduce the new trend of "sustainable" art. In the mode of constant involvement, the artist reflects on the current situation, turns to the "small" memory of a particular person and to a collective artistic experience. His works belong to the international trend of reinterpretation of the history of modern art. He plastically modifies the conceptual practices, shifts the emphasis to the "tactility" and "sonority" of the landscape, compares the personal and universal in the coordinates of place and time, and enters a complex of new relationships and artistic practices into the field of contemporary Russian art.
