Art and Power in Putin's Russia
RUSSIA Art and Power in Putin’s Russia BY SASHA PEVAK The separation between art and power in Russia’s recent history has never been clear-cut. Soon after the fall of the USSR, contemporary art, namely actionism in the 90s, openly criticized society and entered the political sphere. This trend continued after Vladimir Putin’s election in 2000. Russian identity politics in the 2000s were based on four pillars: state nationalism with the Putin’s “power vertical”, the vision of Russia as a nation-state, Orthodox religion, and the myth of the Unique Russian Path, reinforced by the notion of “sovereign democracy” and the idea of the omnipresence of a fifth column inside the country 1. The will to consolidate society around these values provoked, according to political scientist Lena Jonson, tensions between the State and culture, especially as far as religious issues were concerned. These issues were the cause of the trials against the exhibitions “Attention! Religion” (2003) and “Forbidden Art – 2006” (2007), shown in Moscow at the Andrei Sakharov Museum and Public Centre. The latter staged temporary events and activities based on the defence of Human Rights. For part of the national opinion, the Centre symbolized democracy in Russia, whereas for others it represented an antipatriotic element, all the more so because it was financed by foreign foundations. In 2014, the Department of Justice catalogued it as a “foreign agent,” on the pretext that it carried out political actions with American subsidies 2. In 2003, the exhibition “Caution, Religion!”, organized by Aroutioun Zouloumian, was vandalized by religious activists several days after the opening 3.

And the O.A.T. Enhanced! The Baltic Capitals & St. Petersburg itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: What I love about the little town of Harmi, Estonia, is that it has a lot of heart. Its residents came together to save their local school, and now it’s a thriving hub for community events. Harmi is a new partner of our Grand Circle Foundation, and you’ll live a Day in the Life here, visiting the school and a family farm, and sharing a farm-to-table lunch with our hosts. I love the outdoors and I love art, so my walk in the woods with O.A.T. Trip Experience Leader Inese turned into something extraordinary when she led me along the path called the “Witches Hill” in Lithuania. It’s populated by 80 wooden sculptures of witches, faeries, and spirits that derive from old pagan beliefs. You’ll go there, too (and I bet you’ll be as surprised as I was to learn how prevalent those pagan practices still are.) I was also surprised—and saddened—to learn how terribly the Baltic people were persecuted during the Soviet era.

Consequently, visitors need to trust museums with their interpretation of reality. Historical or national museums hold a central role, insofar as they strongly influence the identity of entire nations. In this article, I will study the ways in which heritage is used to construct politically engaged collective memories and contemporary Russian cultural policies, which promote such uses. In particular, I will analyse the transformation of the 2013-2016 Moscow Manege exhibitions into an entertainment centre called ‘Russia––my (hi)story’, which is promoted by the Russian Orthodox Church and supported by the authorities. Another case presented herein is the Gulag History Museum in Moscow. My aim is to demonstrate how the cultural heritage is being ‘applied’ to construct historical narratives of the difficult past and what is the relation of cultural policies implemented by the state to this process.

Kremlin Form
Kremlin Form Architecture’s engagement with urban form always operates within the aesthetic structures associated with the technologies of draw- ing, such as paper material, bounding frame, and the means of repro- duction. In a course taught at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) in the fall of 2012, students were asked to con- ceptualize the Moscow Kremlin through instruments of annotation. ANNA NEIMARK Though the site itself was out of reach, relying on drawings and photographs of Southern California Institute the monuments and the walls surrounding them, the seminar constructed a sur- of Architecture vey of analytical drawings that were based on compositional rather than political or religious principles. These analogical recordings were neither objective docu- ments of carefully measured forms, nor authored myths of imagined narratives. Instead, they aimed to dislocate the Kremlin from a closed political space in order to open it to architectural interpretation. The process of the seminar was drawn from a comparative study of maps that inevitably contrasted the real with the limits of representation. Consider for instance Giambattista Nolli’s presentation of Bufalini’s Rome (1748) where the substrate of the map is represented as paper, held by two putti unrolling it in mid-flight. Again, in his Nuova Pianta of the same year, what was one monumen- tal sheet is subdivided into twelve parts, each plate extending into a boundary that represents the space of overlap. In this seam, Nolli’s famous figure/ground is left as line work and unrendered. Or jump forward to the final rendition of the “City in the City” series by Oswald Mathias Ungers (1977).
