Concept of the exhibition:
The exhibition aimed to show the evolution of art in Saint Petersburg, starting from the late Soviet period to the early 2000s. The artists’ works illustrated the transition from official Socialist Realism to more free and experimental forms of self-expression characteristic of the post-Soviet era.
Additional information:
The exhibition also included an event called “Introductions”, a meeting with the artists held on December 13, 2003, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. During this meeting, curator Natalia Kolodzei presented an overview of new media art from Saint Petersburg and the works of Anna Frants displayed at the exhibition in honor of the city’s anniversary.
