In Mikhail Grachev. Soviet Daily Life. 1930s—1960s through an array of photographs, artifacts, and multimedia installations, attendees are invited to experience the complexities of everyday existence during a transformative era in Russian history. The exhibition captures the interplay of culture, politics, and personal narratives, reflecting how art and design were interwoven into the fabric of daily routines — from the bustling streets to communal celebrations. By showcasing both the mundane and the extraordinary, the exhibition offers a unique lens on how people lived, worked, and dreamt in a time of significant socio-political change, encouraging visitors to ponder the lasting impact of this period on contemporary society and culture.The group exhibition presents a compelling exploration of how art provides resilience in times of personal and societal crisis. The exhibition features works by renowned artists like Gustav Metzger, Shusaku Arakawa, and Alina Szapocznikow, each of whom faced extreme adversity and transformed their experiences into profound artistic statements. Whether addressing environmental destruction, illness, or existential threats, these artists used creativity as a means to survive and challenge the limits of human endurance. The exhibition emphasizes the power of art to propose alternative perspectives when the world seems trapped in binary thinking. By engaging with radical artistic responses to crisis, visitors are invited to reflect on how creativity can offer strength, hope, and new possibilities for navigating the uncertainties of modern life. Art, in this context, becomes more than expression — it becomes a strategy for survival and transformation.As part of the Classics of Russian Photography program, MAMM presents the first large-scale retrospective of renowned contemporary photographer Vladimir Bogdanov. The exhibition features over 100 photographs from the Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow, highlighting his work from the 1960s to the 1990s. Born in 1937, Bogdanov’s artistic journey began during the Khrushchev thaw, a period that allowed artists to explore themes beyond socialist realism. This era marked a shift where humanism replaced official dogma, enabling photographers to capture the lives of ordinary people. In 1955, while studying at the Textile Institute, he joined the Leningrad photo club VDK, transforming his passion into a profession. His compelling images reflect a deep connection to Russian society and its complexities during a time of change.The exhibition Curators in Panic addresses the unpredictable realities of operating a contemporary art museum, presenting unique works by artist Yokoo Tadanori, who has continuously redefined painting since the 1980s. Rooted in the early 2020s — a period marked by the coronavirus crisis and logistical demands from the large-scale retrospective Genkyo Yokoo Tadanori — this show responds directly to the sudden absence of major holdings and the challenges of museum governance. Three participating curators, deeply familiar with the collection, selected their personal favorites not included in the tour, highlighting the profound existence of the artist’s full creative output. This perspective reflects the confusion of managing a cultural facility during a state of emergency. By adopting the curators’ viewpoint, visitors gain an opportunity to freely enjoy the viewing experience and rediscover the rich, constantly changing creative world of Yokoo Tadanori.Mr. Yokoo’s Palette showcases artist Yokoo Tadanori’s striking use of color, tracing his vibrant painting career since his “painter’s declaration” in the early 1980s. This pivotal moment marked his shift from graphic design to a prolific period of pictorial experiments, creating diverse works without fixed subjects or styles. The exhibition uniquely reorganizes his artistic world by categorizing paintings from series like Pink Girl and Y-junction based on their dominant hues, transforming the museum galleries into a grand palette. Visitors will discover background materials, including actual used palettes and paints from his studio, offering a glimpse into his creative process. This presentation invites reflection on the overwhelming power of Yokoo’s colors and how a singular artistic element can define an entire body of work, offering a fresh perspective on his timeless vision.

Museum Choreography

Muuseumi Koreograafia
Estonia Tartu 2018 53

This innovative exhibition reimagines the traditional museum experience through the lens of dance and choreography, inviting audiences to become active participants in the artistic dialogue. It foregrounds the unpredictable interplay between viewer movement and static artworks, showcasing how personal histories, cultural contexts, and physical presence transform the museum into a living, dynamic space. By exploring the nuances of how we look at and engage with art, the exhibition challenges visitors to reflect on their own movement and interactions within the gallery. This exhibition is a thought-provoking exploration of the embodied experience of art, making the viewer an integral part of the creative narrative.

Why should you watch this?

In today’s rapidly evolving cultural landscape, this exhibition stands out by positioning dance and choreography as vital means of understanding and engaging with art in the museum context. By centering the audience’s experience, it reflects our collective need for connection and interaction in spaces that often feel static and distant. In an era where individual perspectives and cultural backgrounds shape our understanding of art, this exhibition invites viewers to reclaim their role, reminding us that museums are not just repositories of art but vibrant environments shaped by human presence and movement. As the act of looking becomes more layered and complex in our digital world, this exhibition challenges us to reconsider our relationship with art, encouraging a deeper engagement that resonates well beyond the gallery walls.
