In 2009, Anton created a public sculpture "Neon Traces" for Lille 3000 Europe XXL, in Euralille, France. In 2016, Ginzburg was an artist-in-residence in Gushul Residency, Canada. The same year, in 2016, he completed a public sculpture "Stargaze: Orion" for the United States Embassy in Moscow, Russian Federation. The sculpture was installed in 2018.
During his artistic career, Anton's work was shown at the 54th Venice Biennale, the Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston, Southern Alberta Art Gallery in Canada, Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, White Columns in New York, Lille 3000 in Euralille, France, and the first and second Moscow Biennales.

His films were screened at the Whitechapel Gallery in London, Rotterdam International Film Festival (IFFR), Dallas Symphony Orchestra (Soluna), Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas and Les Rencontres Internationales in Paris.

Anton uses an array of historical and cultural references as starting points for his investigations into art’s capacity to penetrate layers of the past and reflect on the contemporary experience.
Quotations: "I am interested in various media. I like to find the one, that is most appropriate for each project, because ultimately the creative energy is abstract. It doesn't belong to any particular medium."
