I’m writing my DLA thesis about the Reconstruction Practice of Neoavantgarde Works. I am writing about the black hole of art history which still sucks in the avantgardists under the stalinist regime. I analyze various examples of contemporary activities reconstructing underrepresented works and trying to bring them alive.
