ROSTA - Russian avant-garde x Andrei Molodkin

In this exhibition, political avant-garde art from the former Soviet Union rubs shoulders with the current political works of Russian artist Andrei Molodkin. The latter attained international recognition in recent years owing to his politically motivated crude oil sculptures and large-scale ballpoint pen drawings and is currently representing Russia at the Venice Biennale.
The exhibition will feature hand-painted Russian avant-garde posters – known as ‘Rosta windows’ – which were produced during a time of internal and external upheaval. The Rosta windows are the first Soviet propaganda posters published by the Russian telegraph agency ‘Rosta’ between September 1919 and February 1922 under the supervision of Vladimir Mayakovsky.
A new ballpoint pen work by Andrei Molodkin (born 1966) will also be on display.
