Our regular mediator, Dianna Kovaleva, gave a tour of the exhibition and spoke about Leonid Borisov as one of the most prominent figures of Leningrad nonconformism. On the one hand, he was an active participant in the "Gazanevshchina" movement, a follower of the avant-garde ideas of the 1920s, and on the other, he was an original artist whose practice gravitated toward the Moscow artistic scene.
At the meeting, participants discussed Borisov's connections with his predecessors and descendants, and over coffee in the gallery space, they listened to an introductory lecture on Soviet unofficial art.
