FROM GULAG TO GLASNOST. THE ART OF RESISTANCE (38 min.)
2001

A profound artistic and social-political investigation, which provides a broad spectrum of the diverse range of Soviet unofficial art in its historical development from 1953 to 1988, the period from the Stalin's "Cold War" to Gorbachev's glasnost. Most of nonconformist artists and their works are still unknown to the wide audience in Russia and other countries. The project has to fill this gap. Produced with the support of Soros Foundation; first shown on National Russian TV Channel “Kultura”; screened at Art Frankfurt, 2002; at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum within the exhibition “Russia!”, New York, September 2005 – January 2006; at the Museum of Russian Art, Jersey City, NJ, November 2010 – January 2011; at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, February 2013; at CUNY and Bryn Mawr College, PA, 2015; at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, within the exhibition “Kollektsia! Contemporary Art in the USSR and Russia. 1950-2000”, 2017.

In the collection of the Zimmerli Art Museum, NJ, USA; Princeton University Library; Duke University Libraries; Bryn Mawr College Library, PA; Thomas J. Watson Library of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Whitney Museum of American Art.
