Yet how do contemporary Russian scholars and critics themselves approach the history of visual culture in the former Soviet Union. Taking its title from a Russian word that can refer to the 'texture" of life, painting, or writing, this anthology assembles thirteen key essays in art history and cultural theory by Russian-language writers. The essays erase boundaries between high and low, official and dissident, avant-garde and socialist realism, art and everyday life.
German artist Vera Lutter's large-scale photographs of industrial sites were on exhibition at Dia from October 14, 1999, through June 18, 2000. Using pinhole cameras, the precursor to the modern multi-lens camera, Lutter draws on pioneering techniques and historical models to construct vividly arresting representations. He is a filmmaker and film theorist, and has written widely on the history of art. As curator of the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels, he initiated an exhibition on the history of the Wide White Space Gallery in Antwerp, the first gallery exhibiting Panamarenko's work.
