Opening Reception: September 9, 6-9pm
Distortions Symposium I: September 9, 4-5:30pm

Curated by Hunter College professors Daniel Bozhkov and Joachim Pissarro with Dr. Olga Zaikina.

Curatorial Graduate Fellow: Victoria Borisova. Moscow Conceptualism began as an alternative underground art world in the late Soviet Union. Its unofficial status shaped its artistic methods and theoretical framework. The exhibition includes original objects, archival materials, and working models of original artworks, alongside new projects created by Moscow Conceptualists in collaboration with art and art history students and faculty at Hunter College. Thus, Distortions is an experiment in intergenerational and cross-cultural collaboration. It aims to transform the gallery into a two-month long forum exploring how existing artworks can be activated to create new living situations, and how documents can be used beyond the preservation of the past. The opening reception will be preceded by a round table discussion and reenactments of art works. With the exhibition curators and artists Yuri Albert, Sabine Hänsgen and Victor Skersis.
