The Return Of The Memory. New Art From Russia
The exhibition The Return Of The Memory features the artists, whose works define the art of the second post-soviet decade. Hence the appeal to the memory – a phenomenon highly characteristic of the general mindset of recent years that was entirely alien to the post-soviet mentality of the previous decade. This exposition aims to show that the new decade attempts to restore the 'broken bond between times' – to review the recent past. Yet it is by no means an archaeological or bookish version of the history, but rather the history that exists in the individual memory, the innermost part of us – regardless of how we relate to the past. The memory loss that was considered the natural state in the 1990s now becomes the object of criticism and disapproval. The artists recognize the 'well forgotten old' through the active social facts.
