News of the Awards

The exhibition “Lazar Khidekel (1904—1986)”, shown in the Stroganov Palace, is competing for the title of the “Best Implemented Project of a Temporary or Permanent Museum Exposition”.

This exhibition, which took place in 2019, was the first in Russia to comprehensively cover the career of Lazar Khidekel, a bright representative of Russian Avant-garde and the first Suprematist architect.

The basis of the exposition are Khidekel’s futuristic projects – cities of the future, his projects of space housing areas – Garden City, Aero City, Aqua City – and construction concepts implemented in Leningrad (St. Petersburg).

The exhibition has unique design – pylons in the exhibition hall supported photo collages that demonstrated how graphics became something real.

Visitors could follow the vivid and important page of the Russian Avant-garde and see with their own eyes the evolution of Lazar Khidekel’s artistic and architectural concepts in 1930s through 1980s.

The exhibition was held in the Stroganov Palace, one of the branches of the State Russian Museum, and was curated by Eugenia Petrova, Deputy Director General of the Museum for Research. Novatek PJSC supported the exhibition financially. Victoria Mikhelson is the partner of the project.
