AES+F is a group of Russian contemporary artists made up of Tatiana Arzamasova (b.1955), Lev Evzovich (b.1958), Evgeny Svyatsky (b.1957), and Vladimir Fridkes (b. 1956). The Moscow-based group was originally called AES (based on the artists' initials) at the time of its formation in 1987, when it did not include Fridkes. The "+F" was added in 1995, when Fridkes became a member.
