Od dzieła do działania, czyli historia performansu w Rosji
From the creative act to action – the history of performance in Russia

Summary/Abstract: The point of departure and the core of the article is the exhibition Performance in Russia: cartography of history 1910-2010, opened in Moscow Garage Museum of Contemporary Art. Commenting on the exhibition (curated by Julia Axyonova and Sasha Obukhova) and the events preceding it (i.a. the publication of a Russian translation of Rose Lee Goldberg's Performance Art: From Futurism to the Present) or accompanying it, Osińska is trying to familiarise the reader with the rich history of the broadly understood performance in 20th-century Russian culture. She gives a detailed description of the most important projects, the achievements of the Russian futurists, Nikolai Evreinov (according to the author – the precursor of Russian performannce studies), the creators of soc-art, conceptualists, neo-actionists and many others.
