Une exposition événement
Des documents uniques – affiches, tracts, films, photographies, presse illustrée, objets collectés à chaud pendant les événements permettent de comprendre comment 1917 devient « révolution », bouleversant l’univers politique, économique, social de millions d’hommes, de femmes et d’enfants en Russie, puis dans le monde entier. L’ année 1917 en Russie a été revisitée depuis une vingtaine d’années par de nouvelles recherches historiques s’appuyant sur des archives inédites – intimes, iconographiques et audiovisuelles, notamment. C’est toute la complexité de l’événement qui sera restituée grâce au patrimoine exceptionnel de la BDIC et des institutions partenaires en France, Russie et Géorgie.

Spielzeug Welten Museum Basel
Russian porcelain of the period from 1917 to 1927 reflects the dramatic changes in Russian life at the time. Wholly unique, thematically contemporary decorations are typical. Having emerged in the atmosphere of the Russian Revolution, this white gold of the 1920s was used for more than just propaganda and didactic purposes. In a period dominated by industrial design, many outstanding artists turned to this as the art form most likely to reach the broad masses. Technically superb craftsmen modelled their creations after designs by the artists. This combination yielded amazingly beautiful, never-before-seen porcelain pieces that were often only made as one-offs or in small series.
Музей Москвы
Москва 100 лет назад – город великих потрясений и перемен. Первая мировая война, революция 1917 года, возвращение статуса столицы, эпоха военного коммунизма, сменившаяся НЭПом, – эти события не только стали важнейшими переломными моментами в истории России, но и нашли отражение во всех сферах жизни, в том числе в городской повседневности. Выставка «Москва. Мода и Революция» наглядно демонстрирует динамику изменений в стиле одежды и в быту, которые повлекла за собой революция. Для того чтобы экспозиция была более полной, за ее основу взяли временной период 1907-1927 гг., равный десяти годам до и десяти годам после 1917 года.

Musée de l’Histoire vivante / Montreuil / 29 avril – 31 décembre 2017
Nous avons choisi de proposer au public une exposition qui s’intéresse plus à la réception des Révolutions russes en France qu’au « récit révolutionnaire » des événements des années 1905 à 1917 et de poursuivre jusqu’en 1967 sur les anniversaires des Révolutions.

Calvert 22 Foundation (In partnership with the State Hermitage Museum, the European University at St Petersburg and UCL SSEES, Supported by the Vladimir Potanin Foundation ) / A season of events marking the centenary of the Russian Revolution / February – December 2017 / London
To mark the centenary of the “ten days that shook the world”, Calvert 22 Foundation will reflect on the nature of revolution and of writing history itself. Both an undisputable turning point and one of the most contested events in modern history, with some questioning its very position as a revolution, the events in Russia in 1917, from February to October and beyond, have been endlessly mythologised. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Calvert 22 Foundation will be hosting a year-long season of events, exhibitions and discussions to uncover new perspectives on the events of 1917 and their consequences.

À l’occasion du centenaire de la Révolution russe, une exposition temporaire présentée dans la nouvelle aile du Musée national Zurich se penche sur les relations entre la Suisse et la Russie dans une période riche en bouleversements. À l’aide de photographies, de documents, d’objets d’art et de tableaux, elle évoque l’histoire de la Russie à cette époque et ses répercussions en Suisse, en retraçant l’étonnante imbrication des liens entre deux pays fort différents.
British Library / April – September 2017
This landmark exhibition will examine the conditions and events that led to the Revolution and illustrate how subsequent political, economic, social, cultural and artistic aspects of life in Russia and the Soviet Union were shaped by the Revolution and its consequences.
The exhibition will also reveal how the Russian Revolution was viewed in other countries, with a special emphasis on Great Britain, and how the history of the whole world in the 20th century was shaped by this event. On show will be unique and rarely seen materials held in the British Library including posters, manuscripts, sounds, maps and postcards. The exhibition will also display many extraordinary items on loan from Russia, many leaving the country for the first time including artworks, uniforms, memorabilia and artefacts.
Selected works by Georg Baselitz, Albert Oehlen, Georg Herold, Norbert Schwontkowski, Katja Strunz, TAL R, and Gert & Uwe Tobias, as well as historic works by Wladimir Majakowski, Amshei Niurenberg, Mikhail Tscheremnych, Pyotr Galadshev, El Lissitsky, Valentina Nikiforova Kulagina-Klucis, Alexander Michailowitsch Rodchenko, Abram Sterenberg, and the Moscow WChUTEMAS- school.
During a discussion about the work Rodchenko I, Rodchenko II by Albert Oehlen (1982) – now a central work of this presentation – the idea of an exhibition to mark the forthcoming 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution of 1917 was developed in cooperation with Wilhelm Schürmann.
The radical artistic innovations that came with this revolution remain relevant to this day. Constructivism, Suprematism, and Agitprop are formally inscribed into many contemporary works of art. The utopias and ideals of the Russian Revolution and its artistic achievements, however, where subject to considerable friction losses caused by the history of the past century, and they can no longer withstand a “post-idealist” gaze. This is evident in the shown contemporary works in many different ways, even where the engagement with the Russian avant-garde may not have been the explicit motivation of the artists.
One hundred years on from the Russian Revolution, this powerful exhibition explores one of the most momentous periods in modern world history through the lens of its groundbreaking art.
Bringing together major works from MoMA’s extraordinary collection, the exhibition features breakthrough projects in painting, drawing, sculpture, prints, book and graphic design, film, photography, and architecture by leading figures such as Alexandra Exter, Natalia Goncharova, El Lissitzky, Kazimir Malevich, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Lyubov Popova, Alexandr Rodchenko, Olga Rozanova, Vladimir and Georgii Stenberg, and Dziga Vertov, among others.
In anticipation of the centennial of the Russian Revolution, this exhibition examines key developments and new modes of abstraction, including Suprematism and Constructivism, as well as avant-garde poetry, film, and photomontage. The remarkable sense of creative urgency, radical cross-fertilization, and synthesis within the visual arts—and the aspirations among the Russian avant-garde to affect unprecedented sociopolitical transformation—wielded an influence on art production in the 20th century that reverberates throughout the course of modern history.
