Bulldozer Exhibition was an unofficial art exhibition of Moscow avant-garde artists on September 15, 1974. The exhibition was forcefully broken-up by a large police force that included bulldozers and water cannons.
The four hours in the forest of the Izmailovo exhibition has often been remembered as "The Half-day of Freedom." It was a political act against the oppressive regime, rather than an artistic event.
Teaching ideas:
1. Make a presentation about the artists participating in the exhibition.
2. Discuss the political situation in Russia of that time.
3. Talk about freedom of expression.
Anna, you might remember the Scenario type of activity you did in Integrating the Internet. I can see an interesting Scenario being written on this event. You could have them investigate this event as police officer, or write about the event as historian, or reflect on it as one of the artists who had works exhibited.
