Inhaltsangabe

Paintings, installations, sculptures and photographs from around fifty artists compose a chronological course of the different currents of non-conformist art in the former U.S.S.R and Russia.

The Tretyakov Collection was created between 1983 and 2008 on the initiative of Russian art critic Andrei Erofeev to create a museum of the history of art mavericks in Moscow, as no Soviet institution was interested in the avant-garde. Originally composed of more than 5000 pieces, a selection of this collection eventually became part of the Tretyakov National Gallery, making it the first institution to house a department of Russian contemporary art.

The exhibition thus allows a new dive in to this 'Underground' of the years 1960-2000. Each chapter brings together artists from the same movement and highlights their affinity with Tachism, kinetic art, Pop Art, conceptual art, or performance.

The composition of the collection, revealing the sometimes-complex relationships between artists, official art of the Soviet era and institutions, will be evoked by historical documents, chronological friezes and an educational program.

Text in English and French.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book traces the history of contemporary art in the USSR and Russia from the 1960s through to the 2000s. The history of a country and its political upheavals, the progressive affirmation of a new form of art and individual creation, and the eventful adventures of a collection assembled by Andrei Erofeev to include works in the institution that had been rejected by it: this is what the exhibition and its catalog address. The Non-Conformists: this term applies to all works that did not correspond to the guiding principles defined by the Soviet socialist regime, namely an artistic production dedicated solely to the illustration of heroism in power. Through the works of more than fifty artists, a fascinating story unfolds, one that allowed art to embrace strategies of détournement and derision, critical discourse, and an infinite development of forms

Le livre retrace l’histoire de l’art contemporain en URSS puis en Russie des années 1960 à 2000. L’histoire d’un pays et de ses bouleversements politiques, l’affirmation progressive d’une nouvelle forme d’art et de création individuelle, et l’aventure mouvementée d’une collection rassemblée par Andreï Erofeev pour faire rentrer dans l’institution des œuvres qu’elle refusait : c’est ce qu’abordent l’exposition et son catalogue.
Les non-conformistes : ce terme s’applique à l’ensemble des œuvres ne correspondant pas à la ligne définie par le régime socialiste soviétique, à savoir une création uniquement dédiée à l’illustration de l’héroïsme au pouvoir. Au travers des œuvres de plus de cinquante artistes, se déroule cette histoire fascinante qui a ouvert la création au détournement, à la dérision, au discours critique et au développement infini des formes.
