		Constructivists also believe architecture is concerned with the removal of expected forms derived from past and interpreted for the public.
		In addition, Constructivists were even more concerned with replacing the classical aesthetic with one that resounds to the aesthetic of the zeitgeist (the machine age).
		Constructivists believed that art and architecture should be removed from the demands of the masses to become special and symbolic.

	Polish Photomontage Between The World Wars
		For the Russian Constructivists, photomontage became a way of departing from "objectless" art toward a new kind of figurative, socially useful art which was to respond to the challenges involved in the construction of the socialist state and its culture.
		Most of their photomontages were stylistically indebted either to the propagandist "factography" of Soviet publications, notably the magazine SSSR na stroykye, in which case they praised the achievements of the Soviet Union, or to the virulently grotesque collages by John Heartfield, as was the case with works of political satire aimed against capitalists and Fascists.
		It was their influence which, in the late 1920s, led the driving force behind the Constructivist movement in Poland, Władysław Strzemiński, associated with the Praesens group, and later with the a.r., to take an interest in the functional integration art text and illustrative photography and consequently photomontage.

		Built in 1929, not long before Stalin stamped down on Modern movement design, this workers' club is a memorable essay in the art of handling Platonic forms: a glass cylinder on the street corner containing the main stair intersects cubes and rectangles.

		In their central demands, the constructivists followed the same objectives as the entire European avant-garde after World War I: to unite art and life and to break from the indifferent autonomy of the nineteenth century's bourgeois salon art.
		In the countless manifestos of the Russian constructivists, equality is formulated as solidarity among artists, architects and writers together with workers and farmers.
		It is clear that the constructivists and productivists can only be credited as pre-participatory art, after which they must form the base for such a story.

		With the help of a New York lawyer and a resourceful German "art detective", Lissitsky is now embroiled in a fierce legal tussle that centres on the murky provenance of works of art snapped up by bargain-hunters in the aftermath of the second world war.
		In this, he is something of a pioneer - the first Russian to go to a western court of law claiming restitution of works stolen by the Nazis and later displayed in reputable western collections.
		There are those who would argue that, but for museums such as the MOMA and the Stedelijk, the Russian avant-garde movement would have been relegated to obscurity.

	Kuvanveistäjä - Vladimir Kopteff - Sculptor
		Art history of the twentieth century was for Kopteff the basis for his conclusion that constructive art is really the art of our time, in the same way that Gothic paintings, architecture and design belong to that time in which they came to the fore.
		It was just that functional aspect of the Russian constructive art which had a very deep influence on western art, particularly on the relationship between art and architecture and in industrial and graphic design.
		Kopteff reminds me of the words of Tatlin: that constructivist artists must always work together in a group to see each other's works, to exchange ideas and to leam methods which can help society to move forward.

		From that critical moment in 20th Century art emerged a rich tradition of art consciously appropriating technology, in which the six artists in Sub-Techs are the latest generation.
		For these artists, technology was a means to reinvent the vocabulary of art, with a particular emphasis on using new techniques to disseminate their utopian agenda for social change throughout Russia and Eastern Europe, and to integrate art and daily life.
		While both the Russian avant-garde and German Bauhaus succumbed to political events, many of their proponents continued to germinate the union of art and technology.

		The general slogan of these "constructivists" was "Art into Life" and their goal was, as Tatlin put it, "to unite purely artistic forms with utilitarian intentions." In their most extreme formulations, the constructivists announced "Art is finished!

		During the 1920s, Rodchenko became one of the leading constructivists, and turned away from painting to photography, furniture and poster design.

		The Italian Futurists, the Russian Constructivists, and in France especially Robert Delaunay had been reflecting these technologies.
		In the beginning they simply transferred them into classic media, tried to adjust their painting to the new velocity and the new communication spaces and tried to depict them.
		Especially the Russian Constructivists used this technology also as an artistic medium.

		Russian Constructivist Art of the 1920's is typically characterized by geometric shapes and areas of solid color.
		Thus, two overlapping squares in the Constructivist Modeler are equivalent to two levels connected by a flow arc (and an implicit constant rate).
		Overlapping multiple triangles produces non-linear rates Because the Constructivist Modeler uses layers to represent which shape is a source and which shape is a destination, it is impossible to create feedback loops.

		I would argue that far from being completely utopian, the Constructivists were striving to become deeply involved in the world around them, and working within the very restrictive economic circumstances of their times.
		And like his Constructivist colleagues in the early 1920s, Tatlin designed useful items such as work clothes and a stove, designed to be manufactured easily in spite of the scarcity of quality materials at the time.
		Of course, the government of the Soviet Union didn't appreciate the Constructivist project -- as with totalitarianism everywhere, Soviet Communism's preferred style was a kind of aesthetically stunted neo-classicism.

		What counts is that the aesthetic experience teach us something new about our world, that it shock us out of moral complacency and political resignation, and that it take us to task for the overwhelming lack of social imagination that characterizes so much of cultural production in all its forms....
		The art of the Russian avant-garde prided itself in being "nonobjective" and was accused by its enemies of being "formalist," but it remained representational in the important sense that it was mimetic of the experience of modernity.
		Precisely through abstraction, the artworks gave expression to a human sensorium fundamentally altered by the tempos and technologies of factory and urban life.

		This art is to be distinguished from those efforts characterized by expressionism, realistic representation, surrealism, etc." [6] Many of the early members of the American Abstract Artists were identified with pure abstraction---either the structural geometries of Piet Mondrian and the Russian Constructivists, or the organic forms of Joan Miró and Paul Klee.
		For example, the utopian vision of the Bauhaus artists and the Russian Constructivists did not conflict, at least in the minds of Americans, with the formal concerns espoused by Cubists or by Hans Hofmann.
		And this defense is knowledge." [26] Although couched in more personal terms, Josef Albers reflected similar sentiments: "Through works of art we are permanently reminded to be balanced, within ourselves and within others; to have respect for proportion, that is, to keep relationships.
