Discussion about Modern Art and Hidden Creatives in the Art World
In the heart of Krasnodar, the city's environment, paradoxes, and visual folklore are currently on display in an exhibition running until August 31. This exhibition serves as a starting point for delving into the rich history of Krasnodar's art scene.
One of the key figures to be highlighted in an upcoming lecture is Yevgeny Tsev, a nonconformist artist who was a "lone wolf" of Krasnodar's underground art scene in the 1960s and 1970s. Tsev's life and legacy will be a focus of the lecture, titled "Contemporary Art of Krasnodar. Chapter 1".
The lecture, scheduled for August 15 at 6:00 PM at the Union of Russian Artists on October Street, 51, will also cover other artists who developed neo- and postmodern ideas in Krasnodar's artistic environment.
While the life and legacy of the Sochi art group "Guild of the Beautiful" was not discussed in the provided text, the lecture is expected to shed light on other significant groups and artists that shaped Krasnodar's art scene.
Among the postmodern artists active in the Krasnodar region are contemporary painters like Ekaterina Gornyh and Irina Strikitsyna, who create works that blend depth and joy of existence in modern Russian fine art.
The 'Contact' group, while not detailed in the found sources, likely functioned as an important artistic collective in Krasnodar, promoting postmodern and contemporary art practices within the city. The 'Contact' group, which formed around Yevgeny Tsev, was a collective of underground artists in Krasnodar during the late 1970s.
The first exhibition of the 'Contact' group took place in 1980, showcasing works free from Soviet ideology. For accurate and deeper insights on the 'Contact' group specifically, further specialized literature or local Krasnodar art historical resources would be needed.
The lecture by Alexei Uglnikov, an art historian, exhibition curator, and researcher specializing in Soviet monumental art and architecture, as well as contemporary Russian art, will cover the emergence of Krasnodar's art scene during Soviet times, focusing on Yevgeny Tsev and the 'Contact' group.
Registration for the lecture is required, and entry is free. Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about Krasnodar's vibrant art history.
