Ilya Kabakov was born in 1933 in Dnepropetrovsk (now Dnipro) in Ukraine, formerly part of the Soviet Union. When he was eight, he moved to Moscow with his mother. He studied at the Art School of Moscow, and at the V.I. Surikov Art Institute. Artists in the Soviet Union were obliged to follow the officially approved style, Socialist Realism. Wanting to retain his independence, Ilya supported himself as a children’s book illustrator from 1955 to 1987, while continuing to make his own paintings and drawings. As an ‘unofficial artist’, he worked in the privacy of his Moscow attic studio, showing his art only to a close circle of artists and intellectuals. Ilya was not permitted to travel outside the Soviet Union until 1987, when he was offered a fellowship at the Graz Kunstverein, Austria. The following year he visited New York, and resumed contact with Emilia Lekach. Born in 1945, Emilia trained as a classical pianist at Music College in Irkutsk, and studied Spanish Language and Literature at Moscow University before emigrating to the United States in 1973.

  • Exhibition Provides New Insight Into the Globalization of Conceptual Art, Through Work of Nearly 50 Moscow-Based Artists Thinki
    EXHIBITION PROVIDES NEW INSIGHT INTO THE GLOBALIZATION OF CONCEPTUAL ART, THROUGH WORK OF NEARLY 50 MOSCOW-BASED ARTISTS THINKING PICTURES FEATURES APPROXIMATELY 80 WORKS, INCLUDING MAJOR INSTALLATIONS, WORKS ON PAPER, PAINTINGS, MIXED-MEDIA WORKS, AND DOCUMENTARY MATERIALS, MANY OF WHICH OF HAVE NOT BEEN PUBLICLY DISPLAYED IN THE U.S. New Brunswick, NJ—February 23, 2016—Through the work of nearly 50 artists, the upcoming exhibition Thinking Pictures will introduce audiences to the development and evolution of conceptual art in Moscow—challenging notions of the movement as solely a reflection of its Western namesake. Opening at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers in September 2016, the exhibition will explore the unique social, political, and artistic conditions that inspired and distinguished the work of Muscovite artists from peers working in the U.S. and Western Europe. Under constant threat of censorship, and frequently engaging in critical opposition to Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism, these artists created works that defied classification, interweaving painting and installation, parody and performance, and images and texts in new types of conceptual art practices. Drawn from the Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection at the Zimmerli, the exhibition features masterworks by such renowned artists as Ilya Kabakov, Komar and Melamid, Eric Bulatov, Andrei Monastyrsky, and Irina Nakhova, and introduces important works by under-represented artists, including Yuri Albert, Nikita Alekseev, Ivan Chuikov, Elena Elagina, Igor Makarevich, Viktor Pivovarov, Oleg Vassiliev, and Vadim Zakharov. Many of the works in the exhibition have never been publicly shown in the U.S., and many others only in limited engagement. Together, these works, created in a wide-range of media, underscore the diversity and richness of the underground artistic currents that comprise ‘Moscow Conceptualism’, and provide a deeper and more global understanding of conceptual art, and its relationship to world events and circumstances.

  • 1 Life Between Two Panels Soviet Nonconformism in the Cold War Era
    Life Between Two Panels Soviet Nonconformism in the Cold War Era DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Clinton J. Buhler, M.A. Graduate Program in History of Art * * * * * The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Myroslava M. Mudrak, Advisor Dr. Kris Paulsen Dr. Jessie Labov Dr. Aron Vinegar 1 Copyright by Clinton J. Buhler 2013 2 Abstract Beneath the façade of total conformity in the Soviet Union, a dynamic underground community of artists and intellectuals worked in forced isolation. Rejecting the mandates of state-sanctioned Socialist Realist art, these dissident artists pursued diverse creative directions in their private practice. When they attempted to display their work publicly in 1974, the carefully crafted façade of Soviet society cracked, and the West became aware of a politically subversive undercurrent in Soviet cultural life. Responding to the international condemnation of the censorship, Soviet officials allowed and encouraged the emigration of the nonconformist artists to the West. This dissertation analyzes the foundation and growth of the nonconformist artistic movement in the Soviet Union, focusing on a key group of artists who reached artistic maturity in the Brezhnev era and began forging connections in the West. The first two chapters of the dissertation center on works that were, by and large, produced before emigration to the West. In particular, I explore the growing awareness of artists like Oleg Vassiliev of their native artistic heritage, especially the work of Russian avant-garde artists like Kazimir Malevich. I look at how Vassiliev, in a search for an alternative form of expression to the mandated form of art, took up the legacy of nineteenth-century Realism, avant-garde abstraction, and Socialist Realism.

  • Oleg Vassiliev Memory Is a Fickle Thing
    Oleg Vassiliev Memory is a fickle thing. Why do we remember some things and forget others? What is it that brings certain memories to our attention at a particular time? Artist Oleg Vassiliev has grappled with questions such as these for more than 60 years. “Memory is capricious in its choice of subjects,” he explains. “Often one recalls something quite unimportant; at first glance, it seems incomprehensible why memory retains some things and lets others go.” While it is quite common to struggle to remember certain details from our past, it is equally common for an incidental smell, sound, or object to cause some long-forgotten and seemingly insignificant memory to come flooding back with tremendous impact. At other times, memories will suddenly be re-played in our heads for no apparent reason. Oftentimes, these flashes of memory are bittersweet, for while they may take us back to a happy time in our lives, they also serve as stark reminders that the moment has passed and cannot by any amount of will be returned to us. Throughout his artistic life, Vassiliev’s central theme has been memory—how it works and how it is constructed. Vassiliev made the painting depicted on this card, Memory of Kira (2011), approximately a year after the death of his wife. Although Kira had served as the subject of a number of Vassiliev’s paintings, this one has a unique poignancy. As is often the case when we lose someone close to us, the physical absence heightens the vividness of our memories of the person lost.

  • Ilya & Emilia Kabakov
    GALERIE THADDAEUS ROPAC ILYA & EMILIA KABAKOV NEW PAINTINGS PARIS MARAIS 19 Oct 2017 - 06 Jan 2018 Opening: Thursday 19 October 2017, 6pm-10pm Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by pioneer conceptual artist Ilya Kabakov. Never shown before, the works dating from 2014-2016 are presented for the first time in Paris. Russian-born and American-based, today Ilya & Emilia Kabakov are recognised as among the most significant international artists to have emerged in the late twentieth century. Considered by curator Robert Storr as ‘one of the great story-tellers of our era’, Ilya Kabakov is known to have fundamentally rethought the nature of ‘conceptual’, ‘environmental’ and ‘performative’ art but also of painting through complex narrative forms. One of the characteristic ways he explores the conceptual potential of narration is through his practice of ‘painted collage’. The exhibition presents three series that reflect the artist's complex relationship with the past and the notions of personal and collective memory. Ilya Kabakov adopts a new painter’s persona for each series in which different realities overlap. In the series Two Times (2014-2016) Ilya Kabakov merges visual fragments of soviet imagery with those of seventeenth century Baroque paintings such as Caravaggio’s, The Burial of Saint Lucy (1608) and François de Troy, Portrait de Charles Mouton (1690) in the Louvre. Ilya Kabakov confronts two very different forms of painting, time frames and realities in a single canvas. Since the collapse of the Soviet bloc, the images of happiness, progress and harmony conveyed by stereotyped propaganda have gained a form of folklore quality that is deceptive of its nostalgia.

ZAKAIN IN MEMORIAM 19 KRISTEN VAN AUSDALL IN MEMORIAM Before launching into a retrospective of the past year, I want to thank Andrés Zervigón for taking on the position of Acting Chair last year—not a task that was on his radar, but which he graciously accepted. He did a wonderful job of shepherding the department through the early stages of the new budget system (whose mysteries we continue to plumb), and kept the momentum going within and outside the department. Please check the individual faculty, graduate student and alumni summaries for a full accounting of their collective accomplishments. In this brief overview, I’d like to underscore initiatives that encapsulate the dual-facing nature of our department these days: the expansion and deepening of the opportunities we offer to our students within the department, and the strengthening of ties to resources in the scholarly and professional worlds outside the university. Two widely-admired books and one path-breaking exhibition catalogue have recently been produced by our faculty: Carla Yanni’s Living on Campus An Architectural History of the American Dormitory; Catherine Puglisi’s Art and Faith in the Venetian World: Venerating Christ as the Man of Sorrows, co-authored with Dr.

He studied at the VA Surikov Art Academy in Moscow, began his career as an illustrator of children’s books in the 1950s and was an important representative of “Moscow Conceptualism”. His first exhibition took place in the Dina Vierny Gallery in Paris in 1985. In 1987 Ilya Kabakov spent six months in Graz on a working scholarship of the Graz Art Society, which led to an exhibition, curated by Peter Pakesch, in Graz Opera House. In 1988 he began to work with artist Emilia Kabakov (neé Kanevsky); in 1992 the couple married. Emilia Kabakov, *1945, Dnepropetrovsk Emilia Kabakov was likewise born in Dnepropetrovsk and studied at the Music University of Irkutsk as well as Spanish philology at the University of Moscow. In 1973 she emigrated to Israel, then moved to New York in 1975 where she worked as a curator and art dealer. Ilya and Emilia Kabakov’s works have been shown in, among other places, the Museum of Modern Art (NY), Hirshhorn Museum (Washington DC), in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, at the Documenta IX, at the Whitney Biennial 1997 and in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. In 1993 they represented Russia at the 45th Biennale in Venice with the joint installation titled The Red Pavilion. The married artists have been awarded the Oskar-Kokoschka-Preis (Vienna, 2002) as well as the “Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres” medal (Paris, 1995).
