Interesting in that it's a gallery exhibition of works that can't, by their very nature, typically be exhibited. I wonder what the draw will be, other than just gathering it all in one place, as it's all things that can be found online and no physical media that wouldn't otherwise be possible.
What do you mean "works that can't, by their very nature, typically be exhibited"? Exhibits put together primarily using archival photos and video/film footage like this aren't anything new. And such exhibit can still be a worthwhile experience even if everything in them can be found elsewhere online, and someone has seen it all before.
As for the draw, it's to see what (if any) new original works might have also been included, to see all that material presented as a whole, and in whatever potentially new or unique way that the curators chose to present it. And given how avant-garde, political, and provocative Pussy Riot is, the curators likely have plenty of interesting material and ideas to work with.
