Research platform: Red Book - Soviet Art in Lviv in 80s - 90s
鈥淩ed Book: Soviet Art in Lviv in the 80s and 90s鈥� is focused on the Soviet art of 1980s Lviv and the visual practices of the 1990s that have been neglected within the institutional domain for a long time and covered by academic works only partly.
This exhibition is one of the first large studies exploring the artistic life of Lviv in 1980s and 1990s. There, the dynamic late Soviet-era culture of the 1980s acquired features of an 鈥渁nti-civilisation,鈥� and starting in the second half of the 1990s, the role of the artist was devaluated to the point of full dissolution of the author鈥檚 identity in the chaos of the new market economy.
The show presents works by 1980s and 1990s Lviv-based artists part of which recurred to an inner existential or physical emigration following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
