Soviet Barbara, the Story of Ragnar Kjartansson in Moscow
The Musée d’art contemporain’s Skyscrapers by the Roots exhibition offers an opportunity to discover a new film installation by artist David Hartt. In parallel with the exhibition, we invite audiences to experience his video work in a movie theater, along with a complementary screening of Jacques Tati’s Playtime — a key reference for Lynne Cohen, another artist featured in the exhibition.
In December 2021, Icelandic art star Ragnar Kjartansson opens a Russian oligarch's museum by re-staging the American soap Santa Barbara live. Witness the jaw-dropping avant-garde critique of the Post-Soviet empire play out on the eve of Putin's brutal invasion of Ukraine.
