Visitors to IMMA, Dublin, may have experienced Ilya and Emilia Kabakov’s installation The Children’s Hospital (which reverberated with the more institutional and medical history of IMMA’s site, the Royal Hospital). Also in the IMMA Collection is a beautiful set of Ilya’s drawings illustrating a series of his narratives. #Kabakov #KabakovRIP #IlyaKabakov #Art #Conceptual #ContemporaryArt #20thCenturyArt #IMMA #RoyalHospitalKilmainham

I didn’t get to post at the weekend following the news that Ilya Kabakov had died, aged 89. The conceptual artist was born in Dnipropetrovsk in what was then the Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union. He worked for 30 years in Moscow, from the 1950s until the late ‘80s. After that lived and worked on Long Island, USA. #IlyaKabakov #Kabakov #KabakovRIP #IlyaKabakov #Art #Conceptual #Installation #ContemporaryArt #20thCenturyArt

My PhD student sent me this https://fineartbiblio.com/artworks/ilya-and-emilia-kabakov/1945/the-man-who-never-threw-anything-away-the-garbage-man

We discussed #Archives and how different people understand that word differently. #IlyaKabakov's piece #TheGarbageMan brings up #Jenkinson vs #Schellenberg for me. Who has the right to say what comprises the archive?
