Met bibliografie

Anthologie met een thematisch overzicht van de uitgaven van het gelijknamige kunsttijdschrift uit Moskou in de periode 1993-2017. - With the launch of 'Moscow Art Magazine' in 1993, curator and critic Viktor Misiano gave readers access to a rich variety of theory, criticism, and artists' texts by Russian and international writers. It is the only independent art journal in Russia which has weathered they country's economic crises and continued to publish innovative, and at times challenging, writing on visual art up to the present day. 'Critical Mass: Moscow Art Magazine 1993-2017' is published to mark the 100th issue of the magazine and presents a selection of texts, which cover the development of Russian art since the break-up of the Soviet Union. Arranged thematically, they range from the hopeful manifestos of the early 1990s to the angry, politically-engaged art of the 2010s. Misiano, who received the Igor Zabel Award for Culture and Theory in 2016, has written new introductions to the themes covered in the book, setting the original texts within the social and political context of their time. A critical chronology marks important events in the cultural life of Russia connected to criticism and art theory, such as the first translations of key international texts.
