InicioBeyond Russia’s Two Capitals: Regional Art Exhibitions in the Russian Empire

*  *  *

Publicado el lunes 05 de diciembre de 2022

Resumen

Art life in the regions of the Russian Empire has often been sidelined in the larger picture of art history, and this conference aims to bring this vital material to wider attention and stimulate discussion. If the 1905 relaxing of censorship vastly increased the number of exhibitions, local societies and individuals had already established regular and highly significant exhibitions all over the Empire. We invite colleagues to illuminate and discuss exhibitions that were held in the different regions, to consider their specific features and become part of this huge — and inevitably collaborative — project. We particularly welcome papers that address exhibitions before 1905.

Argument

Decentering art life in the Russian Empire — throwing light on exhibitions and art organisations outside the two capital cities of Saint-Petersburg and Moscow — is the underlying purpose of the research project “Collecting and Display in the Russian Empire”, set up in late 2021 as a collaboration between the  Faculty of Art History (from September 2022: School of Arts and Cultural Heritage) and  the Center for Machine Learning, Data Analysis and Statistics (MAST) at the European University at Saint Petersburg. Our small team focuses on the history of exhibition practice and of collecting in the Russian Empire up to 1917.

As the first stage in realisation of the project, we are assembling a full database of art exhibitions (not just fine art and including artistic sections at other exhibitions) in the Russian Empire, which covers those held in Saint-Petersburg and Moscow but seeks particularly to throw light on exhibitions held in the regions, from provinces to those territories that are now independent states.
