Революции и авангард: визуални бележки в полето на Великата и проклетата Октомврийска революция.
Центърът за култура и дебат „Червената къща“ в партньорство с Европейската мрежа на дебатните центрове Time to Talk представят публична лекция на изкуствоведката Яра Бубнова, една от създателките на Института за съвременно изкуство в София.
Теми:
Радикалните утопии са немислими без социално, политическо, но и артистично въображение.
Как Октомврийската революция от 1917 г. повлиява образността?
Променят ли дистанциите във времето, новите оценки, политическите анализи и историческите подробности начина, по който „виждаме“ самото историческо събитие?
Как иконофилията и иконоклазма в най-новата ни история могат да бъдат разчетени през въпроса как образът влияе на представата ни за революцията?
Как борбата с „образите“ променя или не успява да промени историческите представи?
Какво е отражението на революциите върху изкуството?
Revolutions and the avant-garde: visual footnotes of the great and the damned October Revolution
At 18:30 EET on Tuesday the 8th November 2017, The Red House will host a discussion about the artistic revolution of 1917, asking how did the revolution change imagery and how much the image itself affects our perceptions of history.
Revolutions and their children
November is the month that is marked by two key historical events – the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and the Revolutions of 1989. What legacies do these revolutions have and what is the fate of their children? What is the place of the October Revolution in Putin’s Russia? What role have the Revolutions of 1989 played in the development of Eastern Europe as part of the European Union? These are just a few points of reference for the great debate about revolutions, counter-revolutions, conservative and postmodern revolutions in the framework of the bigger, enduring question: what is progress?
Revolutions and the avant-garde: visual footnotes of the great and the damned October Revolution
Radical utopias are unthinkable without social, political and artistic imagination. How did the 1917 Revolution affect imagery? Have new assessments, political analyses and historical details changed the way we see the historical event of the revolution? How can iconophilia and iconoclasm be recognised through the question of how imagery influences our perception of the revolution? How does how we struggle with images change or fail to change perceptions of history? And, what is the impact of revolutions on art?
