| Title | Grojs o Grojse. Berlinskie besedy so Svetlanoj Baskovoj |
| Description | This book is a guide to the art of dissent. In conversation with filmmaker, artist and curator Svetlana Baskova, art historian, philosopher and cultural critic Boris Groys revisits major episodes in the twentieth-century cultural history of Russia and Europe, combining personal memories with reflections on ideology, politics and society. Soviet antisemitism disguised as the “struggle against cosmopolitanism”, Koktebel in the 1960s, Moscow Conceptualism, samizdat, KGB methods, emigration and European academic life in the 1990s become part of a broader discussion about fear, resistance, freedom and power.
What connects Dmitri Prigov with Taylor Swift? How does ideology govern emotions, culture turn rubbish into metaphysics, and language become a form of resistance? Groys approaches these questions with his characteristic mixture of seriousness and irony. |
