Not exactly my speciality, but it will keep a certain someone happy.<\/p>\n
1. Architecture and the Russian Avant-Garde<\/a>: a decent collection of videos on YouTube on the Russian avant-garde of the 1910s and 20s, mainly covering visual arts — Malevich, Tatlin and Rodchenko are particularly well represented.<\/p>\n 2. Tango with Cows<\/a>:\u00a0really interesting site connected with a 2009 Getty Center Exhibition on Russian Avant-Garde book art. You can download digitized versions of some of the books, and there are page-though options, with translations and recordings of readings of some of the poems. My favourite is Goncharova’s A Game in Hell<\/em>.<\/p>\n 3. Ubuweb sound: Russian Futurists<\/a>: recordings of poetry by Burlyuk, Kamensky, Khlebnikov and Mayakovsky, among others. I’m a bit of a sucker for Mayakovsky, I have to admit — on the fence about his writing, but I can’t resist his image, and his readings of his poetry are mesmerizing.<\/p>\n 4. Daniil Kharms<\/a>. He had to feature here. It’s not a huge selection, but gives a good flavour, and if you don’t know Kharms’s work, you’re in for a great treat. If you’re after a more comprehensive site of his writing (in Russian), Daniil Kharms<\/a> is the place to go — some of his brilliant illustrations as well as stories, incidences, plays and poems — but don’t be fooled by the suggestion of English translations in the banner, as it only translates the titles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not exactly my speciality, but it will keep a certain someone happy. 1.
