DESCRIPTION:Arseny\nZhilyaev will present at the Seminar in Cultural Histor
 y on\nTuesday\, April 23\, at 6 pm. His talk is entitled “Beyond Avant-Gar
 de:\nSurrealist and Communist Museums of the Early Twentieth Century.'\n\n
  The\ntwentieth century is considered to be the century of artistic innova
 tion and\ncreative exploration\, with historical avant-garde having a deci
 sive influence on artists working during this time. However\, what we\nusu
 ally mean by these terms is limited to a set of artists-stars and the\ntra
 jectories of their creative formation. A layer of institutional activity\n
 remains outside of our attention. However\, it often exceeds individual hu
 man\ngestures in the radicality\, consistency\, and scale of their ambitio
 ns. Keeping\nthis in mind\, Zhilyaev will examine the common search of the
  Soviet Marxist exhibition expositions and some European experiments that 
 forecasted the development of contemporary art in the twentieth century.\n
 \nArseny Zhilyaev is an artist based in Moscow and Venice. His\nprojects e
 xamine the legacy of Soviet museology and museums in the philosophy\nof Ru
 ssian Cosmism using the exhibition as a medium. His works have been shown
 \nat the biennales in Gwangju\, Liverpool\, Lyon\, and the Ljubljana Trien
 nale as\nwell as at exhibitions at Centre Pompidou\; Palais de Tokyo\, Par
 is\; de Appel\,\nAmsterdam\; HKW\, Berlin\; Kadist Art Foundation\, Paris 
 and San Francisco\; V-a-c\nFoundation\, Moscow and Venice\; and elsewhere.
  Zhilyaev graduated from Voronezh\nState University\, Philosophical Facult
 y (2006) and Moscow Institute of\nContemporary Art (2008) and received an 
 MA from the Valand School of Fine Arts\,\nGoteborg\, Sweden (2010). He has
  published articles in e-flux journal\, Idea\, Moscow\nArt Magazine\, and 
 other journals. He is an editor of the anthology Avant-Garde\nMuseology (e
 -flux\, University of Minnesota Press\, V-a-c Press\, 2015).\nRecent accol
