Co-curated with the Art Institute of Chicago, and featuring museum loans from the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow—among them Liubov Popova’s titular work, Space Force Construction (1921)—the exhibition orbits around artist-associated works made after the October Revolution of 1917. Ranging from a workers’ social club designed by Aleksandr Rodchenko to imperious orders written to Stalin by his young daughter, these historic artifacts are shown alongside recent and commissioned works, many by artists that explicitly engage with contemporary politics, among them Tania Bruguera, David Goldblatt and Wolfgang Tillmans.
