Visitors will be able to see photographs from the performances of such popular bands as "Kino", "Alice", "Zoo", "Aquarium".
Also on display are posters, documents and other evidence of the club's work.
Among the authors are Andrey Usov, Dmitry Konradt, Vladimir Bystrov, Natasha Vasilyeva-Hull, as well as the popularizer of Soviet rock culture, ex-wife of the guitarist of the band "Kino" Yuri Kasparyan, Joanna Stingray.

Willem van Vigel. Kinetic sculpture
Erarta Museum of Contemporary Art
April 23 - August 22
The Dutch artist Willem van Vigel works in the genre of kinetic art.
The objects he created are in continuous motion and constantly change shape.
Vigel uses a minimal number of shades.
Most of the figures are made of metal; they are activated by mechanisms hidden behind the canvas.
The compositions are united by the idea of visualizing the passage of time.
Willem van Vigel's work has been exhibited at venues in London, Paris and Washington.
