Exhibition History
The exhibition opened on February 18, 1915, was organized by Ivan Puni and his wife Ksenia Boguslavskaya who returned from abroad.
At the exhibition, an attempt was made to unite left-wing painters. It was attended by 10 artists [1] :
- Ksenia Boguslavskaya
- Ivan Klyun
- Kazimir Malevich
- Alexey Morgunov
- Lyubov Popova
- Ivan Puni
- Olga Rozanova
- Vladimir Tatlin
- Nadezhda Udaltsova
- Alexandra Exter
The exhibition became the forerunner of Suprematism , presented by Malevich in the same year at the Last Futuristic Exhibition "0.10" , which was attended by many artists from the exhibition "Tram B". Malevich presented sixteen works: among them are cubo-futuristic abstruse paintings, in which there is already everything necessary for Suprematism: white space-plane with an incomprehensible depth and geometric figures of the correct outlines and local coloring. Against the same numbers 21-25, ending the list of Malevich’s works in the catalog, it was affixed: "The content of the paintings is unknown to the author . " However, in the competition for originality, Malevich lost to Tatlin at this exhibition [2] .
The “first futuristic” exhibition was named because the participants decided to publicly speak under the common name of the futurists , demonstrating this new direction in painting in all its diversity. The name "Tram B" was chosen by chance.
The exhibition became the next arena of Russian avant-garde painting, presented futuristic and cubo-futuristic paintings - examples of abstruse, super-logical art. Artists, along with like-minded poets, continued to attack public perceptions of “right art”, the paintings presented exploded the laws of everyday common sense with their irony and absurdity.
