Description: "The Way of Enthusiasts is a translation of the name of the Moscow landmark "Shosse Entuziastov," an avenue that connects the city center to the residential districts. The romantic and impassioned foundations that were laid under this name in the 1920s--as well as the urban environment it designated--gradually changed as the Soviet social project evolved. The book features spatial commentaries by Russian artists over the last few decades, and uses urban and architectural material as a parallel narrative to contextualize and depict the patterns underlying artistic practices since the shift from the Soviet era to a post-ideological society"--Publisher's website.
Notes: "Publishing project inspired by the exhibition, The way of enthusiasts ... The exhibition was held in August 29-November 25, 2012, Casa dei Tre Oci, Venice"--Title page verso.
