Description
The Russian art world has undergone significant changes in recent years. A new activist scene has emerged, driven by protests and a desire for artistic freedom. This shift is linked to Vladimir Putin's first election and the commercialisation of Russian society. The Moscow art scene has responded with an urgent need for expression, despite shrinking freedoms. This collection brings together important work from Russian artists today, along with critical analysis and dialogues with the artists themselves. Contributors include prominent writers and scholars, offering a nuanced understanding of the political environment that has given rise to this new generation of artists.
