Focused on theexperiences of women under (and after) communism, these works involve viewersin visual and aural conversations concerning the temporality of the everyday,revealing how socialist labor involves feats of endurance and patience as much asheroic action. Revolution Every Day undermines our readymade responses to theRussian Revolution and makes it possible for Western audiences to experienceSoviet visual art anew.This unique, small format companion to the exhibition, published in collaborationwith the Smart Museum of Art (Chicago), is inspired by the tradition of Soviet tear-off calendars. The book has 365 calendar pages with daily entries featuring a rangeof images and texts drawn from primary and archival source materials that explorethe historical and experiential dimensions of revolution. It presents multiple shortessays and other original contributions from the curators, artists, and scholars,accompanied by full color illustrations of all of the works in the exhibition.
