Revoliutsiia! Demonstratsiia! – Soviet Art Put to the Test

Soviet Art Put to the Test had ten model displays, containing nearly 550 works from the early Soviet era. Each of these sections held rare works of art and features expert, life-size reconstructions of early Soviet display objects or spaces, commissioned especially for this exhibition. Revoliutsiia Demonstratiia – Soviet Art Put to the Test was the largest exhibition of Soviet art to take place in the United States in 25 years.

According to the Art Institute of Chicago’s website, The October Revolution of 1917 changed the course of world history; it also turned Russia into a showcase filled with models. Every object and sphere of activity had to demonstrate how society could be remade according to revolutionary principles. It would take intensive experimentation and discussion to determine the shape of this unprecedented society. To be realized in any concrete way, communism had to be modeled and put on display.
