100 years GAKhN: Artistic Research between Art and Science. Reconsidering the Practice of the State Academy of Artistic Research (1921-1930). Special issue of Studies in East European Thought, open access (https://link.springer.com/collections/jefjhaigcc) The special issue presents a singular institution of Russian scientific and cultural history – the State Academy of Artistic Research (GAKhN), which was founded in Moscow 100 years ago (1921). The contributions of the issue, which were realized as part of the DFG project “Between Encyclopedia and Stenogramm”, show the great variety and innovative character of art theoretical research at the GAKhN, which was realized in close cooperation with artists and museum people. The Academy was dissolved and banned by the Soviet power in 1930. Therefore, the philosophical and art-theoretical heritage of GAKhN is only today slowly coming to light in its scope.
