Artistic Practices of Transfurism and Ry Nikonova’s “Systemic” Aesthetics: A Lecture by Mikhail Pavlovets
Philologist and literature teacher Mikhail Pavlovets will discuss the «system» of forms and techniques developed by Ry Nikonova, as expressed in a number of theoretical and practical works. Nikonova’s artistic practice combined both a drive toward creating a «systematic» framework of creativity and a constant pursuit of experimentation, which distinguished her even within the Transfurist circle.
