Commonly referred to as the “Russian avant-garde,” these movements have been celebrated as some of the most political artistic formations in the history of modern art. In this seminar, we will retain a focus on the political, but we will reconsider what that means, by recovering these movements as neither Russian, nor Soviet, but rather developing in an interregnum characterized by conflict, collapse, and highly contingent horizons of possibility. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
