Lecture | The Concept of Artistic Transfer Applied to a Rural Thematic: A Comparison of Painting in the USSR and the United States


In the 1920s, American realism, though incorporating foreign influences including European realism, distinguishes more itself in the importance accorded daily life. Works of artists of the Ashcan school, led by Robert Henry, pay particular attention to urban life and echoes contemporary literature (e.g. Dos Passos’s USA trilogy). After 1929, this movement takes a new turn with public commissions during the New Deal aimed at illustrating the national history for the masses. This new focus has its equivalent in socialist realism as demonstrated by Boris Groys in Educating the Masses: Socialist Realist Art. During the 1930s in USSR, artists were asked to illustrate collectivization, and were encouraged to go to the kolkhoz. Moreover, all major exhibitions in Moscow and Leningrad had a rural section. This thematic is illustrated by such prominent painters as Arkady Plastov, Sergey Gerasimov, Mikhail Avilov, Vitold Bialynisky-Birulia, Fedor Bogorodsky. This production should be compared to U.S. works of art from the same period, for example, Mexican artists working in New York during that decade and the American regionalism of Thomas Hart Benton. less

Lecture | Barbara Cassin discusses her book Nostalgia: When Are We Ever at Home?


Why do we sometimes feel like strangers even when we are at home? Why do we sometimes feel at home in more places where we have no roots? Why do we like to return there and why do we feel nostalgic when we are away? What does it mean to be at home? Can we ever really be at home? These are just some of the questions treated by philosopher and philologist Barbara Cassin in her new work. Through a subtle re-reading of the writings of Homer, Virgil, and Hannah Arendt, Cassin produces an in-depth analysis, at once scholarly and personal, of nostalgia and its relationship to language. less

Opening Reception | Recent Work by Painter Michael Sorgatz


Michael Sorgatz's paintings of figures in urban landscapes depict the constant evolution of the city. more Moment by moment, the people of the city spontaneously create the experience of city life for each other. Like a river that can never be stepped in twice, so too is a walk along the streets. Working from digitally manipulated photographs, Sorgatz breaks down the image into abstract organic forms and then begins using an improvisational method of applying paint with a variety of tools. His technique creates a highly textured surface as layers of paint build the picture, obscuring identities and context. The final paintings capture the feeling of those moments on the crowded street where figures emerge from a storm of vibrant, buzzing colors, moving through one another in a playful exchange of anonymity. less

Film | Polish Documentary: Slawomir Grunberg and Robert Podgursky's Saved by Deportation: An Unknown Odyssey of Polish Jews (2007)


In 1940, a year before the Nazis started deporting Jews to death camps, Joseph Stalin ordered the deportation more of approximately 200,000 Polish Jews from Russian-occupied Eastern Poland to forced labor settlements in the Soviet interior. As cruel as Stalin's deportations were, ultimately they largely saved Jewish lives, for the deportees constituted the overwhelming majority of Polish Jews who escaped the Nazi Holocaust. Saved by Deportation not only tells this story, but it retraces the path Asher and Shyfra Scharf traveled more than 60 years ago from Poland to Siberia to the former Soviet states of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan in Central Asia. less
