Soviet Era Exhibition | Art in Conflict: Opening Reception

About

Join us to celebrate the opening of "Art in Conflict!"

Maria Zavialova, Chief Curator at The Museum of Russian Art (TMORA) in Minneapolis, MN, curated the exhibition "Art in Conflict."

The traveling exhibition will be on view at the Tweed Museum of Art from September 17, 2019 through August 9, 2020 and presents Soviet-era paintings, posters, and other works of art drawn exclusively from the permanent collection of the Museum of Russian Art.

Juxtaposing non-conformist and socialist realist approaches, the display unfolds conflicting perspectives that dominated the multifaceted and volatile art scene of the final Soviet decades. Arranged as a dialogue of state-sanctioned and oppositional models of artistic production, the display invites a creative interpretation of what it was to be an artist living in the Soviet era.

The event is free and open to the public.
