Lazar Khidekel (1904-1986) Exhibition

Category
Best Implemented Project of Temporary or Permanent Museum Exposition

About the project
This exhibition is the first in Russia to comprehensively cover the career of Lazar Khidekel, a bright representative of Russian Avant-garde and the first Suprematist architect.
The basis of the exposition are Khidekel’s futuristic projects – cities of the future, his projects of space housing areas – Garden City, Aero City, Aqua City – and construction concepts implemented in Leningrad (St. Petersburg).
The exhibition has unique design – pylons in the exhibition hall support photo collages that demonstrate how graphics became something real.
Visitors can follow the vivid and important page of the Russian Avant-garde and see with their own eyes the evolution of Lazar Khidekel’s artistic and architectural concepts in 1930s through 1980s.
