2. Russian avant-garde. Non-conformists from the Bar-Gera collections
14. November 2008 - 22. February 2009

Organizers: SNG and civic asociation Syntesia
Curators: Katarína Bajcurová, Alexandra Kusá

This exhibition will present to the Slovak audiences the unknown production of non-official Soviet artists, the so-called Second Russian Avant-Garde, from 1955-1988: art which at the time was opposing the Soviet regime. The main slogan of the artists – the non-conformists – was to maintain and defend the right to artistic freedom and independence during the difficult times of harassments and the persecution of citizens. The collection, built from the sixth decade of the twentieth century onward, contains unique pieces of art by artists who have become globally famous today, and covers several generations of them, including V. Nemuchin, V. Jakovlev, E. Neizvestnyj, I. Kabakov, I. Čujkov, E. Bulatov, V. Jankilevskij, F. Infante, and others. These artworks were smuggled out of the USSR through different illegal and semi-illegal ways. Thus, the collection is rich in its authenticity, not only due to the artistic taste of the owners, but also due to strong (anti-totalitarian) political attitudes.
