The Temporary Art Soviets as urban structure
Dmitry Vilensky (St. Petersburg)

The creation of Temporary Artistic Soviets, which would be involved in the making of the exhibition (or public cultural actions) from its earliest phases onward and which would render repressive notions such as curator or institution null and void. It is the Temporary Artistic Soviet that could serve as a prototypical social model, capable of formulating and realizing its goals independently, taking on the function of an alternative power, an open system for interaction with society at large.
