Russian Art in Translation

Spanning generations and genres, from Sots Art and Necrorealism to neo-Marxist performance groups and emerging artists, this comprehensive catalogue presents a fresh look at contemporary Russian art. Russian Art in Translation showcases both new and midcareer artists and scholars through a range of commissioned contributions including original writing and scholarship, new translations and a diverse array of artists' projects. Produced through an approach that was both curatorial and editorial, this unique printed document captures the energy and dissent of Russian cultural production in a globalized art world and a post-Communist milieu. Reaching beyond the cultural capitals of St. Petersburg and Moscow to provincial cites as well as expatriate and emigre communities, Russian Art in Translation provides a compelling and unprecedented portrait of Russian art.
