The Martin-Gropius-Bau Museum (Berlin, Germany) hosts Building the Revolution: Soviet Art and Architecture 1915–1935, an exhibition that examines Russian avant-garde architecture made during a brief but intense period of design and construction that took place from 1922 to 1935.
The exhibition is showing photographs of Soviet avant-garde constructivist architecture of the 1920s taken by Richard Pare. These are complemented by works of El Lissitzky, Gustav Klutsis, Liubov Popova, Alexander Rodchenko and Vladimir Tatlin and architectural photographs from the 1920s and 1930s. Today, constructivist architecture is part of the World Cultural Heritage of the modern age.
Russian 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. The exhibition juxtaposes large-scale photographs of extant buildings with relevant Constructivist drawings and paintings, vintage photographs and periodicals.
Date: until July 9.
Location: Martin-Gropius-Bau. Niederkirchnerstraße 7. Corner Stresemannstr. 110
