Every year, thousands of people flock to the small Russian village of Nikola-Lenivets, southwest of Moscow on the banks of the river Ugra, to admire land art, architecture and sculptural installations at the annual Archstoyanie Land Art Festival.

Under artist Nikolai Polissky's guidance, the village hosted the first Archstoyanie architecture festival in 2006. The event now takes place annually and brings in acclaimed artists from as far away as Germany, France, and Japan to create new temporary and long-term installations for the Nikola-Lenivets Park.
