Conference | Aesthetics in the Soviet Union: The Art of Vyacheslav Akhunov
Historian Inna Ganschow delivers a lecture on non-conformism in the Soviet Union and the art of Vyacheslav Akhunov. She explores the history of artistic resistance and post-modernism in the late Soviet period, focusing on Uzbek artist Vyacheslav Akhunov (b. 1948), a pioneering figure in conceptual art in Central Asia who rejected the doctrine of socialist realism. His key series, Lenin-Art or Leniniana (1977-1982), deconstructs Soviet propaganda and symbols of power, and is currently on display at Kulturhuef Muse. The talk also addresses the broader context of Soviet censorship and the critical strategies in Akhunov's work. The lecture is followed by a screening of "Partisan Songspiel. A Belgrade Story" (2009) by the artist collective Chto Delat from the Mudam Collection, a musical video work about repression and political resistance.
