The State Tretyakov Gallery, the foremost depository of Russian fine art in the world, announced a flashmob this week in honor of the “Someone 1917” exhibition, which features 120 paintings and sculptures from a dozen artists, including Vassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Alexander Rodchenko, and others.
Members of the public are welcome to take their own parody cosplay photos, staged to resemble individual works from the exhibition, and publish them on Vkontakte, Facebook, or Instagram using the hashtag #некто1917. On December 25, the gallery will announce the five best submissions, and each winner will receive two free passes and a catalogue dedicated to the exhibition.
