Description
The exhibition was important in that it presented contemporary artistic positions from the Moscow context, and showed in particular the diverse reactions of artists to the dramatic financial, political, and cultural shifts that had taken place since the USSR broke up in 1991. The curators noted that the exhibited artists are ‘distinguished by their very personal and direct way of reacting to the political and economic situation — often by introducing seemingly absurd, sometimes self‑destructive elements into their work that are full of humour, yet devoid pathos and any claim to universality’.
