Item Art in Conflict: Themes and Styles in Soviet Arts (2020-01-21)(2020) Veldman Rudie, Carol; University of Minnesota Duluth. Tweed Museum of ArtThis lecture focuses on the Soviet era, when artistic methods and topics were employed to shape the Soviet citizen. Artists experimented with these issues and forms to tell another story about their cultural environment. Veldman Rudie shares how these different streams provided a nuanced picture of artistic conflicts and visual interactions that were part of this period of art. The exhibition, Art in Conflict, is currently on view at the Tweed Museum of Art. It's a presentation of thirty-four paintings, sculptures, decorative art and works on paper, on loan from The Museum of Russian Art (TMORA) in Minneapolis, creating dialogues between nonconformist and state-sanctioned art during the final Soviet decades, from Stalin's death in 1953 to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.Item Art on the Edges: Non-Conformists and Spirituality (2020-02-18)(2020) Veldman Rudie, Carol; University of Minnesota Duluth. Tweed Museum of ArtCarol Veldman Rudie joins us to present a lecture that focuses on the ways artists used religious visual symbolism to show alternative cultural realities. Veldman Rudie shares both the original context of these symbols as well as their use in later 20th century Russian art. The use of religious visual vocabulary was forbidden to officially recognized Soviet artists, so non-conformist artists often used religious symbols to express their experience. In a society governed by a materialist philosophy, these symbols were often not used for religious reasons but to give an alternative view of the world. Exploring their use in the context of the Soviet art world opens another perspective on the artists’ work.Item Blood Memoirs Exploring individuality, memory, and culture through portraiture (2013-10)(2013) Bear Robe, Amber-Dawn; University of Minnesota Duluth.
