A documentary on key representatives of Russian contemporary art Ilya and Emilia Kabakov
In Poor Folk, Ilya Kabakov discusses the early years of his career: the tragic life of his mother who influenced his worldview and his choice of art as an occupation. Together with his wife Emilia, he reflects on nonconformist art in the Soviet Union and the emergence of Moscow Conceptualism, the couple’s emigration to Europe and then the USA, and how after 30 years without exhibitions (Kabakov refused to show his work publicly in the USSR) he became an internationally acclaimed artist. Today you can find works by Ilya and Emilia Kabakov at the world’s biggest museums, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Centre Pompidou (Paris), and Hamburger Kunsthalle.
The film will be screened with subtitles and audio description.
Admission is free with advance registration.
