Imagine no possessions
Main entry-name Kiaer, Christina (Author) Title statement Imagine no possessions : the socialist objects of Russian constructivism / Christina Kiaer Issue data Cambridge, Mass. : MIT Press, c2008 Phys.des. 344 strán : čiernobiele a farebné ilustrácie ISBN 9780262612210 (brož.) : 22,83 Eur Note Zoznam ilustrácii Obsahuje bibliografiu a register Annotation Kiaer analyzes this Constructivist counterproposal to capitalism's commodity fetish by examining objects produced by Constructivist artists between 1923 and 1925: Vladimir Tatlin's prototype designs for pots and pans and other everyday objects, Liubov' Popova's and Varvara Stepanova's fashion designs and textiles, Rodchenko's packaging and advertisements for state-owned businesses (made in collaboration with revolutionary poet Vladimir Mayakovsky), and Rodchenko's famous design for the interior of a workers' club. These artists, heeding the call of Constructivist manifestos to abandon the nonobjective painting and sculpture of the early Russian avant-garde and enter into Soviet industrial production, aimed to work as "artist-engineers" to produce useful objects for everyday life in the new socialist collective.Kiaer shows how these artists elaborated on the theory of the socialist object-as-comrade in the practice of their art.
