On March 9, Channel One will launch a new podcast, "Contemporary Art: A User's Guide," as part of the "Podcast.Lab" project. Hosted by Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art founder Sofia Trotsenko.
The podcast's guests include prominent artists, curators, art historians, and, most importantly, eyewitnesses to and participants in key artistic events of the second half of the 20th century. The first episode features curator and art theorist Viktor Misiano, founder of the Art Magazine. He will serve as a guide to the universe of contemporary Russian art and answer the most popular questions: why contemporary art often seems complex and how to understand it.
The podcast covers the period from post-war art to the present day. Episodes include stories about the Picasso exhibition in Moscow, the American art exhibition in Sokolniki Park, Nikita Khrushchev's scandalous destruction of the Manege exhibition, the Bulldozer Exhibition, the historic Sotheby's auction in Moscow, and other events that shaped the contemporary art scene.
Guests will discuss how to learn to "read" contemporary art, how it existed underground in the 1960s, why the 1970s became a decade of bold artistic experimentation, what distinguished new artistic movements, how nonconformist artists had to fight for the opportunity to show their work to a wider public, and much more.
Podcast.Lab – intellectual discussions after midnight with the most knowledgeable experts and leading speakers on Channel One and on the website 1tv.ru.
