  • 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.

  • THE INSTITUTE of MODERN RUSSIAN CULTURE at BLUE LAGOON NEWSLETTER No
    THE INSTITUTE OF MODERN RUSSIAN CULTURE AT BLUE LAGOON NEWSLETTER No. 40, August, 2000 STATUS This is the fortieth biannual Newsletter of the IMRC and follows the last issue that appeared in February, 2000. The information presented here relates primarily to events connected with the IMRC during the spring and summer of 2000. Back copies of previous Newsletters can be sent on request and, for the benefit of new readers, data on the present structure of the IMRC is given on the last page of this issue. Enquiries should be sent to: IMRC, Mail Code 4353, USC, Los Angeles, Ca. 90089-4353, USA; tel.: (213) 740-2735 or (213) 740-6120; fax: (213) 740-8550; e: [email protected]; website: http://www.usc.edu./dept/LAS/IMRC RUSSIA If you drop by a Moscow grocery-store such as the Dorogomilovskii gastronom you'll find Turkish butter, French sugar, German sausage, Chilean kiwis, Finnish smetana, Hungarian chickens, Italian tomatoes, and American porridge, all to be checked out at the express cash register instead of the high seated solid lady with the old abacus. At first glance, such a swish, international selection seems commendable, indicating an immediate accessibility to the gobal villlage and an open tolerance of imported commodities. But the impression of diversity is misleading, because you also realize that delicious Russian milk products, for example, have vanished from the shelves, that rough and ready Soviet toothpaste has surrendered to sweet Colgate, and that salubrious Georgian mineral water has been overtaken by generic sources with new and strange names such as "Holy Source".and "Acqua Buona".

  • Moscow Romantic Exceptionalism
    I do not complain about anything and everything pleases me despite the fact that I have never been here before and know nothing about these parts. – Collective Actions slogan, January 26, 1977, 01/13 Leningradskaia railroad, Frinsaovka station1 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊIn 2005–6, I experienced a coup de foudre – a lightning blast of admiration – when I discovered Collective Actions and their performances in the snow. Later I attended Boris Groys’s talk at his Total Enlightenment exhibition Sarah Wilson in Frankfurt (2008) where he described the physical experience of travelling to snow fields, participating in mysterious actions, the return, Moscow and the months-long discussions and documentation that constituted other Romantic dimensions of the project. Much of this documentation was displayed in the Russian Exceptionalism: Pavilion this summer at the Venice Biennale, curated together with the doyen of the group, Andrei Monastyrsky.2 The Suspension ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊGroys baptized “Moscow Romantic Conceptualism” in the review A-YA in 1979, later of Disbelief excising (exorcising?) the word “Romantic,” a move that specifically intrigues me. During our Courtauld Institute collaboration last spring, I was introduced to Jorg Heiser’s Romantic Conceptualism exhibition from 2007, which f e explored the revitalization and dérive of i l e 3 b “original” conceptual art. Its title preceded our s i D new terminology – Expanded Conceptualism – f 4 o for the Tate Modern conference of March 2011. n n o o i Groys’s The Total Art of Stalinism (1988; English s s l i n e W 1992) ­marked a “turn” at the moment of p h s a perestroika; it broke down the Manichaeism of u r S a S e Cold War stereotypes (Malevich good, socialist Ê h T 1 realism bad) from which current revisions of the : 1 0 m 2 s twentieth-century canon proceed.

  • Russia –​ Art Resistance and the Conservative-​Authoritarian Zeitgeist
    i Russia – Art Resistance and the Conservative- Authoritarian Zeitgeist This book explores how artistic strategies of resistance have survived under the conservative- authoritarian regime which has been in place in Russia since 2012. It discusses the conditions under which artists work as aesthetics change and the state attempts to define what constitutes good taste. It examines the approaches artists are adopting to resist state oppression and to question the present system and attitudes to art. The book addresses a wide range of issues related to these themes, considers the work of individual artists and includes some discussion of contemporary theatre as well as the visual arts. Lena Jonson is Associate Professor and a Senior Associate Research Fellow at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs. Andrei Erofeev is a widely published art historian, curator, and former head of the contemporary art section of the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia. ii Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series Series url: www.routledge.com/ Routledge- Contemporary- Russia- and- Eastern- Europe- Series/ book- series/ SE0766 71 EU- Russia Relations, 1999– 2015 From Courtship to Confrontation Anna- Sophie Maass 72 Migrant Workers in Russia Global Challenges of the Shadow Economy in Societal Transformation Edited by Anna- Liisa Heusala and Kaarina Aitamurto 73 Gender Inequality in the Eastern European Labour Market Twenty- five Years of Transition since the Fall of Communism Edited by Giovanni Razzu 74 Reforming the Russian Industrial Workplace
