What is The experimental group : Ilya Kabakov, Moscow conceptualism, Soviet avant-gardes about?

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The most comprehensive story of&nbsp;unofficial postwar Soviet art yet to appear in any language,&nbsp;<i>The Experimental Group</i> takes as its point of departure a subject of strange fascination: the life and work of renowned professional illustrator and conceptual artist Ilya Kabakov.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Kabakov’s art—iconoclastic installations, paintings, illustrations, and texts—delicately experiments with such issues as history, mortality, and disappearance, and here exemplifies a much larger narrative about the work of the artists who rose to prominence just as the Soviet Union began to disintegrate. By placing Kabakov and his conceptualist peers in line with our own contemporary perspective, Matthew Jesse Jackson suggests that the art that emerged in the wake of Stalin belongs neither entirely to its lost communist past nor to a future free from socialist nostalgia. Instead, these artists and the work they produced are inextricably part of a transnational art world for which the Soviet Union is largely a memory, fading fast.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Though remembrance tends to paint the past in broadly heroic tones, <i>The Experimental Group</i> leaves aside
