We are delighted to reveal the poster for the forthcoming graduate workshop on The Problem of Religious Art in Modernity. Uses and Abuses of the Icon in Russia!

Despite the restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are still hoping to meet most of our speakers and participants in person. We are trying our best to make this possible with the help of our colleagues of the “Eurasia in Global Dialogue” Program at the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM).

So, the date of the workshop remains
October 15 and 16, 2020.

As you already know, we are also planning to arrange a remote access to the workshop’s presentations.

We will keep you updated!

Since 2018 the Russian Art & Culture Group has its own logo which you may see here and there on our website. Some participants of the workshops already guessed that this logo – which was created by our member Ludmila Piters-Hofmann – includes some recognizable elements.

You may now find out how the logo was created and what the individual elements represent.

Due to COVID-19 most of us are bound to home and some are sharing the products of their creative processes. We would like to draw your attention on some “adjusted” artwork of Russian nineteenth-century artists Alexander Ivanov, Karl Bryullov, Ilya Repin, and Viktor Vasnetsov. Apostrophe is presenting images of well-known Russian paintings and how they would look like during our times of social distancing.

Do you have any other interesting discoveries in this interesting times? Please share them with us either via e-mail or via facebook!
