Berlin-Moscow/Moscow-Berlin 1950-2000.MARTIN-GROPIUS-BAU This vast exhibition brings to the surface some of the most paradoxical questions today in cultural studies: "the future of nostalgia" (Svetlana Boym), the viability of replacing "the word 'communist' with 'postmodernist'" (Mikhail Epstein), and the significance of borrowing political ideologies, industrial values, and artistic styles. Curated by Jurgen Harten, Pavel V. Khoroshilov, Angela Schneider, Christoph Tannert, Ekaterina Degot, and Viktor Misiano, the exhibition explores trends in post-World War II aesthetics. Focusing on Germany and Russia, the show features some 500 works by 200 artists--including Baselitz, Beuys, the Bechers 1 Son of Benjamin. In First Chronicles "his first-born" should perhaps be read "Becher"; cf. Bocheru. See Bichri. 2 Son of Ephraim. His descendants are called Bachrites. He also appears as Bered., Komar & Melamid, Rauch, and Dubossarksi & Vinogradov. Sept. 28-Jan. 5; State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Mar. 15, 2004-June 15, 2004. |
