Description:

Text in Russian with English translations. "Russian artist Vera Khlebnikova was awarded the 2005 Library Fellows Award for her artists book Woman Concerned in Art. With the fall of Soviet communism in the late 1980s, Mikhail Gorbachev's liberalizing social policy of perestroika relaxed restrictions on individual freedoms. As censorship declined, individuals began placing newspaper ads to search for long-lost relatives, offer paid services, and advertise items for sale. Behind those very short texts, we could clearly see an image of the person who was writing them, 3 Khlebnikova says. Her artists book adopts the format of a tabloid newspaper to bring those strangers to life. Along with copies of real classified ads from Russian newspapers, Klebnikova juxtaposes antique photographs inherited from her family. On each page, as text and image unite, personal stories of longing, joy, and tragedy are recreated "--Website of National Museum of Women in the Arts
