Co-founder (in 2003, together with Denis Lukashin) of the first Russian non-state technological laboratory for complex examination of painting "Art Consulting".

[14] In June 1999, the "zero" May issue of this magazine was presented under the title ART Moscow Collection and with the subtitle "Chronicle of Artistic Life".

[15] Evgeny Raitses joined the project as art director, while Zyablov retained the functions of editor-in-chief.

To issue the magazine, Evgeny Zyablov created ArtChronika LLC,[16] and in 2000 Alexander Sysoenko joined him as a co-publisher.

[19] At the turn of 2005–2006, Evgeny Zyablov sold the publishing rights to Shalva Breus for an unnamed amount and didn't take part in ArtChronika anymore.

Zyablov again combined several functions: the author and ideologist of the project, as well as the publisher, but this time the chief editor was originally Nikolai Molok.

Already in 2002, at the 25th Bienal de Arte São Paulo, he acted as the Commissioner of the Russian exhibition project (artist Sergei Bratkov, curator Iosif Backstein).

Since the second half of the 1990s, the idea of creating a large Russian art forum comparable to the world's largest biennials has been in the air.

Preparation for such a large-scale event was accompanied by great anticipation, enthusiasm and widespread public debate, in which the initiative was called "The Big Project for Russia" (Russian: Большой проект для России).

[27][28][29][30] On January 30–31, 2003 the State Museum and Exhibition Center ROSIZO, then headed by Evgeny Zyablov, held a symposium in Moscow "The Big Project for Russia.

The most famous curators of the world became its participants: Francesco Bonami, Germano Celant (both Italy), Harald Szeemann, Hans Ulrich Obrist (both Switzerland), René Block (Germany), Robert Storr (United States).

Evgeny Zyablov, who became the Commissioner of the 1st Moscow Biennale, Iosif Bakshtein, who acted as the curator-coordinator, and Victor Misiano, who left the curatorial group before the opening of the forum, were directly involved in the preparation and conduct of the event.
