The exhibition features spatial commentaries by Russian artists over the last few decades and uses urban and architectural material as a parallel narrative to con-textualize and depict patterns that have lied behind artistic practices since the shift from the Soviet era to a post-ideological society. The conversation between different generations of artists highlights both the similarity and the diversity of strategies in the exploration of the city environment. Daring performances in the urban field in the 1970s come into dialogue with the hermetic Collective Actions, the Moscow actionism of the 1990s and the youngest artists. In a society that has too rapidly been emancipated from its social, urban and artistic past there is thereof an urgent need to recognize the coherence or lack between these experiences.
