Floating institutionality and parainstitutions in contemporary Russian art: premises and forms
Communications. Media. Design. 2023. Vol. 8. No. 1. P. 144–155.
Аллахвердиев Т. К.
The article examines artistic practices in Russia and the Soviet Union that, according to the author, are somehow connected to the international movement of institutional critique; the notion of "floating institutionality" is proposed to denote the special nature of the existence of the phenomenon of "institution" in the designated periods and the corresponding local contexts. The question of the connection between early Soviet avant-garde museum projects and unofficial Soviet art of the second half of the twentieth century is raised. Much attention is paid to the question of defining institutional critique with an eye to modern time and the Russian experience.

In avant-garde rhetoric, as appropriated by contemporary art, the ideas of social engagement and artistic achievement have been almost identical: after art’s selfsublation, its principal goal has supposedly been social engagement. Yet despite the internalization of the avant-garde’s socially oriented legacy, the true episteme and achievement of art since the 1960s has been conceptual surplus ...
