Résumé:
Established sometime around the 1st or 2nd century BCE, Tashkent is the capital city of Uzbekistan and the largest metropolis in Central Asia benefiting from its historical role as geographic crossroads, its developed resources, and its thriving multiculturalism. Previous Soviet rule was established in 1917—which over six decades heralded transformations in Tashkent’s culture, identity, and, of course, its landscape and architecture. In this volume, realized in collaboration with the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation, photographer Karel Balas reveals the modernist architecture of Tashkent through a collection of never-before-seen photographs.

'Red Africa' is the culmination of a two-year research programme and exhibition project at Calvert 22, London, and Iwalewa House, Bayreuth. This traced the work of African artists and filmmakers who studied in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc under free education schemes originally offered under the Third International. Connections were particularly strong with countries such as Mozambique, Ghana, Ethiopia and Angola that were conducting libertarian struggles, or which, post-independence, were part of the Non-Aligned Movement, which held its first Summit conference in Belgrade in 1961.

Résumé:
The buildings constructed in East Germany after the Second World War are often dismissed as drab, Soviet-style, prefabricated blocks of cement. But the architecture of the German Democratic Republic was created with an eye toward modernity and efficiency, and heralded the birth of a new country and a new economic and social system. Hans Engels has traveled throughout East Germany to photograph iconic modernist buildings that survived demolition. From movie theaters, high-rises, and restaurants to museums, convention centers, and transit stations, these buildings have all stood the test of time.

Résumé:
The idea of public spaces—city parks, waterfront bike paths, and bustling squares—has long been associated with urban environments. Public Spheres After Socialism challenges this idea in light of the end of the cold war and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Drawing together experiences from across Europe, this innovative volume reconsiders the public sphere as a figurative, or mythical, location where members of society shape and determine its values. This book examines monuments, reconstruction, film, and new media to ask whether public spaces are viable in an age of globalized consumerism.

The Nordic version of modernism during the 1906s and 70s had certain characteristics that are of increasing interest to international architectural historians today. Of particular significance in this series of investigations is the relation between Nordic lands and the Baltic states during Soviet times, not only in terms of political comparisons but also because of the questions raised regarding modernisms dependence on the concept of a planned society. Taking the two poles of cultural centres and planned suburbs as their focus, the authors delve into this new field of research.

Résumé:
This book is dedicated solely to this important member of the Russian avant-garde, this volume profiles Lazar Khidekel, a brilliant artist and architect whose career proves a key link in the story of abstraction. For decades the work of Lazar Khidekel has been undeservedly overlooked by galleries and museums--primarily because the Russian avant-garde movement was interrupted midstream and forced underground by the Soviet state. It provides the perfect introduction to Khidekel's decades-long career and coincides with a recently renewed fascination with Suprematism and the development of 20th-century abstraction.

Résumé:
Anna Tsitsishvili’s Tbilisi delivers us a contemporary outlook on Georgia’s vibrant capital at the crossroads between East and West. Her photobook attests that photography can play a role in putting the city back on the map by creating a new visual narrative that transcends the past to embrace authentic moments. Notably, the Soviet era has provided us with a glossy portrayal of the city under the empire, with the aim to convey some specific values through photography that is typical of regimes. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a subtle melancholy has seeped into those photographs. This sentiment reflected the post-imperial events and the Russian occupation, which have left an indelible mark on the entire country, the city, and its inhabitants. A new generation of photographers though has emerged in the past years, with a vision that tries to respond to that sentiment by going beyond the façade and breaking ties with the past. In their images the city looks past the streets, the buildings and the cityscapes. They venture into courtyards, homes, into the private life of people and their sincere details. Anna Tsitsishvili does so too – with her photobook she captivates us primarily with her genuineness. From sumptuous old apartments to lived contemporary rooms, from daily commutes to encounters in the busy streets, a sense of everyday poetry permeates her all-color selection.

Résumé:
Révélé par Soljenitsyne en 1973, le Goulag n’était pas le seul archipel créé par le pouvoir soviétique. Un autre système d’îlots urbains s’est développé dès les années 1950, afin de produire les instruments de la puissance soviétique. Longtemps « invisibles », ces villes fermées, voire non cartographiées, ont produit durant la guerre froide le nec plus ultra scientifique et militaire nécessaire à la compétition technologique est-ouest : essais atomiques, réacteurs nucléaires, accélérateurs de particules, ordinateurs, modules spatiaux. Un siècle après la Révolution d'Octobre 1917, l'essai de Kevin Limonier s'applique à décrire les mutations de Baïkonour, Obninsk, Doubna ou Akademgorodok, depuis l’URSS de Khrouchtchev jusqu’à la Russie de Vladimir Poutine.
