Russian Urban Art: History and Conflicts

This book takes the format of an opinion-based essay. Moscow based artist Igor Ponosov tries to examine the power of street art in Russia by exploring its historical background, extending from the avant-garde movements of the early twentieth century, to the non-conformists and the actionists of the twenty-first century. It is an attempt to analyze as well as expand the potential of Russian street art by sharing examples of significant and relevant art phenomena and processes.
