15 March 2017 – 4 June 2017
Marking the centenary of
the Russian Revolution, this exhibition explores Moscow as it was imagined by a
bold new generation of architects and designers in the 1920s and early 1930s.
Drawing on rarely seen
material, Imagine Moscow presents an idealistic vision of the Soviet capital
that was never realised. Large-scale architectural drawings are supported by
artwork, propaganda and publications from the period. Taken together, these
unbuilt projects suggest an alternative reality for the city, offering a unique
insight into the culture of the time.
Each of the six projects
presented in the exhibition introduce a theme relevant to life and ideology in
the Soviet Union: collectivisation, urban planning, aviation, communication,
industrialisation, communal living and recreation.
