Big Bang: Timeline of Russian Avant-Garde Book Arts and Their Cultural Impacts

12041
This historical timeline is based upon bi-weekly publishing information in Knizhnaia letopis', and reprinted in Susan Compton. The World Backwards: Russian Futurist Books, 1912-16. It is cited in Getty Research Institute metadata. The timeline provides a highly granular historical sequence, which allows for intermedia comparison with other cultural phenomena, and advances the general proposition of this study that the unique synthesis of experiences and products of book arts Russian artist books played a defining role in the cultural explosion known broadly as the Russian Avant-garde. The holistic creative endeavor of book design subsumed other component elements of represented image, decorative graphics and text into a synthetic challenge to "textuality," the internalized expectations of a reading process base upon centuries of exposure to a mechanically printed codex. The book page as a reading space imposed a fundamentally new and different order of meaning upon framed imagery, and, by eliminating marginal boundaries, subsumed within its unprinted paper surfaces even the most radical experimentations in non-Euclidean and nth-dimensional pictorial space.
