May 16DiDi Galleryof the art group "Letopis". This is a continuation of the project dedicated to the unofficial culture of Leningrad of the late 70s - early 80s of the last century.
"Letopis" emerged in 1977 thanks to the initiative Borisa KoshelekhovaThroughout 1978-1981, the "chroniclers" actively participated in apartment, street, and traveling exhibitions, as well as persistently sought official showings. The group's creativity is interesting in that it preserves and develops the principles of "Gazanevsky" nonconformism, which advocates for the idea of freedom in art and individual artistic search.
"Chronicle" is, above all, the early work of such important figures in the Leningrad nonconformism movement, as B. Koshelekhov, T. Novikov, E. Figurina. The group also included Nina Alekseeva, Mikhail Goroshko, Aleksandr Vasiliev, Nelly Poletaeva, Kira Stepanova,ira Tikhomirova, Rita Utekhin, Leonid Fedorov. Each participant is presented with the works that were able to be found.
