  Shaping Soviet art - two German exhibitions; various artists; Doucumenta-Halle, Kassel, and Kunsthalle, Cologne - ...

For the most part, this position is historically correct because by the time unofficial art began to emerge in the late 1950s, the gap between these two generations was impossible to bridge: the "first avant-garde" had long been completely suppressed and was largely unknown to younger artists.
This distancing from non-objective art continued apace and eventually led to a return to figuration in the late 1920s and early 1930s, which was also documented in this show.

Perestroika, who receives messages at an anonymous e- mail account at Yahoo.com and is rumored to be not one but several junior professors (or possibly graduate students), is orchestrating the protest under the cloak of anonymity, presumably out of fear of reprisals.
Perestroika and his comrades have discussed several solutions, including giving association members a choice of journals to subscribe to when they pay their dues and putting the journal online so more articles can be published.

Grabbing at the information age's tail, perestroika's handlers hoped to transform such threatening cultural expressions into profitable cultural commodities--perhaps even lures for hard currency.
Working regular TV and radio gigs, the once-banned Troitsky is doing as well in the economic wreck of perestroika as any noncriminal can ("We can always eat CDs," sighs his wife Svetlana Kunitsina, a fashion journalist in a country where there's still no fashion).

This is due to the prolonged absence in the former Soviet Union of independent, professional museums of modern art, publications, galleries and critics.
Exhibitions like "From Malevich to Kabakov" illustrate particularly well that at this point the mechanisms of the former Soviet art world remain dysfunctional and poorly understood abroad, and that for now, Soviet art continues to be a stranger in the West, which seldom delves much deeper than a list of its proper names.
