SUMMARY:Mikhail Karasik THE USSR’s TOWER OF BABEL
DESCRIPTION:White House, and the historic Balfour Declaration. But, among these landmark events, the two Russian revolutions undoubtedly bore the greatest consequences.
 
Karasik selected the construction of the Palace of Soviets--the most grandiose building of the 1930s--as the symbol of victorious socialism. Over time, this giant construction in the center of Moscow, has become a myth that continues to attract the attention of historians, culturologists, and architects.
 
The exhibition consists of 22 works from two albums of lithographs: "The Palace of Soviets. Design Competition" (2006) and "The USSR’s Tower of Babel" (2010). For Mikhail Karasik, the Palace of Soviets is more than an architectural project, it is a symbol of utopia, the symbol of a country dissolved. The artist worked on these albums for more than a decade.
