Sots Art
April 12 – June 12 1986
“Sots Art” was organized by guest curator Margarita Tupitsyn, and traveled to the Glenbow Museum, Calgary, Ontario and the Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, New York. The radicality of Sots Art went beyond its uniqueness in the context of strict Soviet restrictions on art production; rather, its critical importance lay in the fact that the Sots artists proposed to view Socialist Realism not as mere kitsch, or as simply a vehicle for bureaucratic manipulation and state propaganda, but as a rich field of stereotypes and myths which could be transformed into a language capable of deconstructing official myths on their own terms.
