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.
