Garage’s new project with UNIQLO includes a lecture by Garage Archive Curator, author of many studies in the history of Russian contemporary art Sasha Obukhova.
In her lecture "Life as Art: Fashion and Style from the 1960s to the 1990s", Sasha Obukhova will talk about the development of Garage Archive Collection, which grew out of her personal archive and currently holds the biggest selection of sources on Russian contemporary art.
Drawing on rare photographs of the time, she will discuss the development of alternative Soviet fashion, focusing on the artists of Moscow and Leningrad underground who became their generations’ trailblazers in art and in fashion: Dmitry Krasnopevtsev, Nikita Alekseev, Timur Novikov, Sergei Shutov, Gosha Ostretsov, and others.
