\nLiving Gallery Berlin presents a group show of works by Russian \nanarchists and antifascists, as well as artists in solidarity with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n The Network Case is a high-profile political trial in Russia. Ten \nactivists from Penza and Petersburg have been in police custody for over\n two years, accused of involvement in a \u201cterrorist community\u201d known as \nthe Network. They were subjected to torture with electrical shocks, \nbeatings, and psychological and physical coercion to force them to \nconfess. Their trials are coming to a close, but most of have denied \ntheir guilt and demanded an investigation of their allegations of \ntorture. The defendants face sentences ranging from six years to \neighteen years in prison. The sentence will be announced on February 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition was created in Petersburg by the team behind Rupression.com<\/a>,\n which has been publicizing the Network Case in solidarity with the \nyoung activists, who were brutally arrested and have been accused of \nabsurd crimes. The artwork they have produced in police custody is part \nof their fight for freedom and dignity. The exhibition gives them a \nchance to speak.
The exhibition also features works by contemporary \nartists from Russia, Ukraine, France, Chile, and Sweden. They meditate \non state-sponsored violence, torture, crackdowns, imprisonment, and \nabsurd accusations.
The exhibition has already been shown five times\n in Russia: three times at various venues in Petersburg, and one time \neach in Moscow and Penza. The Berlin showing will be the first time the \nexhibition has been presented abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening on February 1, \n2020, will feature a guided tour of the show and a round table on \npolitical prisoners in Russia today, moderated by Olga Romanova, head of\n Russia Behind Bars. Former Russian political prisoners, as well as \npolitical exiles who faced persecution in Russia in connection with the \nNetwork Case, have been invited to attend.
Musician and record \nproducer Mark Reeder, one of the composers and stars of the documentary \nfilm B-Movie: Lust and Sound in West Berlin 1979-1989, will play a \nsolidarity DJ set at 8 p.m. on February 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition closes \nFebruary 3. The closing will feature a charity auction at which you can \nbuy works presented in the show and thus help the defendants in the \nNetwork Case, whose families constantly need money for legal and \nhumanitarian aid to the prisoners. Poet Alexander Delfinov will serve as\n the auctioneer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During all three days of the exhibition, there \nwill be tours of the show in English and German, as needed. Exhibition \ngoers will be able to write letters and postcards with words of support \nto the political prisoners, as well as buying merch from Rupression.com<\/a>\u2019s campaign. Proceeds from the sale will also be used to support the political prisoners in the Network Case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is organized with support from Memorial Deutschland and Dekabristen e.V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
