Exhibition
Book Art of the Russian Avant-Garde, 1910–1917
September 23–December 11
Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art , 40 Arts Circle Drive , Evanston, Illinois 60208-2410
This exhibition explores the way Russian avant-garde poets and artists responded to this crisis through their book art. Often working collaboratively, poets and artists designed pages in which rubber-stamped experimental poetry shared space with archaic and modern scripts, as well as with primitive and abstract imagery. The Russian avant-garde utilized such verbal and visual disruptions to convey humor, parody and an ambivalence about Russia's past, present, and future.
