"This book rewrites the history of Constructivism in the visual arts, graphic design, and film from Gan's hitherto obscured perspective, and the research Romberg has done to reveal such a fine-grained image of her main protagonist is truly herculean. Born of the archive and yet entirely expressive of the moment in which it was written, this book is an extraordinary achievement. Romberg has reconceived what is possible to accomplish in the art historical monograph, and the story she tells is one we urgently need today."--Megan R. Luke, Associate Professor of Art History, University of Southern California "Gan's Constructivism is a deeply original and urgently contemporary book. Abandoning the methods of traditional object-based aesthetics, Romberg reveals a second, previously unrecognized current within Russian Constructivism that emerged out of theater and fugitive performances of 'self-activity' rather than out of graphic arts or sculpture. The recovery of this event-based practice establishes an entirely new point of origin for the Russian avant-garde and its legacies."--Devin A. Fore, Professor of German, Princeton University
