Photo by Mark Hayes<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I recently visited the Craft and Folk Art Museum to tour this new exhibition. My guide for the afternoon was Ljiljana Grubisic, PhD, Director of Collections and Public Programs at the Wende Museum and curator of the exhibition. It\u2019s not often I have the opportunity to tour a gallery with the person who actually put the show together, and it was definitely a treat.<\/p>\n<p>Grubisic graciously spent about an hour walking me through the exhibit hall. She placed the artwork within the political context of the time and engaged me in an interesting discussion about the meaning of each poster. One thing that surprised me was that the artists represented in the show were largely unknown and remain so today. Their obscurity added to the sense that what I was looking at was ephemeral &#8211; a reflection of a moment in time that faded as quickly as it was born.<\/p>\n<p>While I had seen some of the posters during my first visit to the Wende Museum, an experience I wrote about in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.curatingla.com\/blog-index\/2011\/1\/24\/a-visit-to-the-wende-museum-and-archive-of-the-cold-war.html\" target=\"_blank\">January 2011 post<\/a>, their impact on me personally was far greater this time around. I think that\u2019s because the exhibition presented a collection of posters displayed side-by-side and provided a context within which I could begin to understand their subject matter. When taken together, the works conveyed the weight of Soviet history and the political and social tensions of the day more fully than was possible when I viewed several of the posters individually.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 615px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cla\/legacy-images\/wendemuseum\/DeconstructingPerestroikaGallery_PhotoMarkHayes.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1328824747943\" alt=\"Photo by Mark Hayes.\" width=\"605\" height=\"404\"><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Mark Hayes.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As Grubisic explains in the exhibition brochure, \u201cThe works in this exhibition criticize the Soviet founding fathers \u2013 namely, Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin \u2013 lofty government goals, the terrible suffering of Soviet citizens, monumental failures, and the impending demise of the Soviet Union. Relying on complex symbolism and a pictorial vocabulary that is both universal and Russian, they convey the country\u2019s longstanding and pent-up moral outrage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The posters were created using gouache, watercolors, tempera and photo collage and were mounted on standard sized, state issued fiberboard and cardboard.
