V–A–C Sreda online magazine continues its three-month series of podcasts dedicated to the interrelation of art, technology, and landscape.
In this episode, we talk about transport as a cultural phenomenon. What role did crinoline dresses play in the emergence of electric cars? How was the design of cars influenced by retrofuturism? Did Konstantin Paustovsky really work as a streetcar conductor? What trace have cars left in art, and can the body become a canvas?
These are some of the questions discussed by V–A–C Sreda editor Maxim Shibaev and Oksana Bondarenko, head of the Moscow Transport Museum.
