Balagan!!! Contemporary Art from the Former Soviet Union and Other Mythical Places was an exhibition curated by David Elliott in 2015 in Momentum Gallery Berlin. In Russia, ‘Balagan’ is a popular exclamation that describes, with celebratory gusto, a farce, a fine mess, the most unholy of cock-ups. The catalogue design puts over the idea in a Modernist form that also hints at the crazy Stalinist idealisation of the crafts and a nod to modernism, plus has a hint of a huge ‘ridiculous fairground contraption’ about it.
