Zimmerli Exhibit on Pirogov and Sveshnikov

[Edyta Bojanowska]

Dear SEELANGERS,

I want to draw your attention to two amazing exhibits at the Zimmerli 
Collection of Nonconformist Soviet Art at Rutgers, New Brunswick: the 
first part of a retrospective on Boris Sveshnikov, a fascinating artist 
who produced much of his surreal work while in the Gulag, and an exhibit 
on Dmitry Pirogov and his visual poetry and video projects.  Here are 
the websites:

> http://zamweb.rutgers.edu/exhibitions/?id=73
and a link to the New York Times review of the Sveshnikov show:

>  
For those of us in the New York/New Jersey area, the museum also offers 
a wonderful pedagogic resource.  Any class on twentieth-century Russian 
literature and culture will be well served by a tour of the museum's 
permanent collection on nonconformist Soviet art.  Guided group tours 
can be easily arranged.  My students were delighted.

Best regards,

Edyta Bojanowska
