It is vital that it be a correct misunderstanding by Yuri Albert

Yuri Albert is one of the most important exponents of the second generation of the Moscow Conceptualists. Excluded from the state culture industry in the 1970s and 1980s, from the official infrastructure of museums and galleries, but also from the discourses of aesthetics and art criticism, the artists themselves were forced to take on the task of presenting, commenting on, and reflecting theoretically on their activities. Marked by the historical experience of self-organization in the late Soviet milieu, Albert arrived at his critical and, at the same time, (self-)ironic reflections on the art system.
