Fragments of memory

In his Freiburg sculpture project the artist Igor Ponosov from Moscow, Russia visualizes the long struggle between avant-garde and classical forms that formed art in the Soviet Union: Although the classical forms dominated the 1920s, avant-garde elements kept appearing in socialist realism. Ponosov illustrates it by confronting existing sculptures in public spaces – such as “Homer” in at the entrance to the Collegiate Building I at the University – with geometric forms. The altered sculptures can be seen during “Russian Culture Days 2017” in Freiburg.
