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evoked by historical documents, chronological friezes and an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.
