Moma Talks: Panel Discussions And Symposia

Vanguard Lost and Found: Soviet Modernist Architecture between Peril and Preservation Symposium: Saturday, September 29, 2007 Following the seminal "Heritage at Risk" conference held in Moscow in April 2006, this symposium addresses pressing issues in the preservation of the modernist legacy of the most significant edifices built by radical Soviet architects in the 1920s and 1930s. Through two keynote addresses, case studies, and a roundtable discussion, Russian, European, and American architects, historians, and policymakers explore the current situation and eventual destiny of Soviet avant-garde architecture, which is increasingly threatened by neglect and speculative development. This event is held in conjunction with the exhibition Lost Vanguard: Soviet Modernist Architecture, 1922—32 Photographs by Richard Pare. The symposium is made possible by the World Monuments Fund - Modernism at Risk Program sponsored by Knoll, Inc., Julie L. Rasmussen, Trust for Mutual Understanding, and Joseph H. and Florence

The Museum of Modern Art's Third Annual Graduate Symposium Keynote address, Friday, April 13 | Symposium, Saturday, April 14 The Revolution Will Not Be Curated: Twenty-First Century Perspectives on Art and Politics This symposium seeks to investigate the historical and contemporary artists' attempts to deploy art as a means of political force and to critically engage with radically changing conditions of modern and contemporary life. This tradition stretches across media and time, from the visual strategies of the historical avant-garde in the early twentieth century to more recent artistic work emerging in opposition to globalism, and the ensuing political, economic, and military domination of the new world's super-powers.
