Russian Art Now Published by Hatje Cantz.
Edited by Peter Noever and Joachim Sartorius. Essays by Nailja Allachwerdijewa, Christiane Bauermeister, Konstantin Bochorow, Wjatscheslaw Kurizyn, Anna Matwejewa, Ljubow Saprykina and Jelena Zwetajewa. See here the birth of a radical art scene: laboratories of free artists, clubs, internet caf»s, and galleries emerging in Russia between prefab high-rises, slums, and the turreted fortresses of the nouveau riche. Unburdened by old ideologies and metaphysical obsessions, artists in the former Soviet culture houses have been working with new media, playing with performance art, developing new strategies, and forging new representations of the self.
