Sasha Obukhova: The Year of 1990
This first lecture focuses on three artistic movements that defined the Moscow art scene in the 1990s. The first movement consisted of young artists following the tradition of Moscow Conceptualism who formed the Avantgarde Club (KLAVA), which included Andrey Filippov, Konstantin Zvezdochetov, and members of the Inspection Medical Hermeneutics group as well as residents of the art community at Chistoprudny Boulevard. The second influential group started Moscow Actionism and was represented by Anatoly Osmolovsky and the E.A.T. (Expropriation of Art Territory) movement, Oleg Kulik, and Alexander Brener. The third force was comprised of artists associated with Tryokhprudny Lane Gallery (Avdey Ter-Oganyan, Valery Koshlyakov, Vladimir Dubossarsky, and others).
Admission is free.
