From March 21 through April 8 Vladimir Belogolovsky, the founder of New York-based Intercontinental Curatorial Project, www.curatorialproject.com will present The Empire's Last Style: Soviet Modernism: 1955-1985 lecture at universities and architectural clubs in Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand.

For schedule please visit the ICP’s website: www.curatorialproject.com/current/sovietmodernismlecture.html

The Empire's Last Style lecture will reveal the fascinating story of the political, social, and aesthetic aspects of the Soviet period generally characterized by mass production in the mode of the industrial conveyor belt. Yet, despite being limited ideologically, creatively, economically, and technically, many dozens of expressive architectural exceptions were achieved by Soviet practitioners during this time. Original black and white images of selected buildings of the period will tell their story.

Vladimir Belogolovsky will present his Spring Lecture series
