AntikBar is participating in the See USSR exhibition from 7th June to 31st August at GRAD, the new Gallery for Russian Arts and Design in London, and will be presenting at the "50 years of Russian history in posters, from Tsars to Dictators" evening on Thursday 11th July from 18:00-19:30.
Please note that due to the incredible number of visitors in the past few weeks the exhibition 'See USSR' will remain open until Thursday, 5 September. GRAD.
This exhibition is the first to be hosted by GRAD and will showcase a country of leisure, comfort and luxury against the widely accepted notion of the striking heroic and industrial imagery produced by the Soviet Union during the 1920-30s. A range of external Soviet publicity such as Intourist travel posters, magazines and other ephemera will be displayed with internal propaganda items including textiles.
About GRAD: the Gallery for Russian Arts and Design is an enterprising not-for-profit gallery exhibiting Russian art in central London, including rarely seen graphic arts and other works from Russian collections and specially commissioned pieces. The gallery will hold special exhibitions and seminars dedicated to academic and curatorial developments in the expanding field of international studies in Russian art from the early 20th century to the present day. GRAD’s longer term goal is to establish a permanent Museum of Russian Art in London. Address: 3-4a Little Portland Street, London W1W 7JB. www.grad-london.com
