Building the Revolution: Soviet Art and Architecture 1915-1935


This exhibition examines Russian avant-garde architecture made during a brief but intense period of design and construction that took place from c.1922 to 1935. Fired by the Constructivist art that emerged in Russia from c.1915, architects transformed this radical artistic language into three dimensions, creating structures whose innovative style embodied the energy and optimism of the new Soviet Socialist state.


At the Royal Academy of Arts from 29 October 2011—22 January 2012.
