Kinetic Art or Kineticism is an art genre based on the idea of form in motion. It is understood not as the physical movement of an object from one place to another, but as its change or transformation, as any form of "life" of an object at the moment it is perceived by a spectator. Some works are dynamically transformed by the viewer himself, while others by variations in the surrounding air.

The large collection of the art of the 20th century stored in the Russian Museum helps to "reconstruct" the atmosphere of the artistic life of the 1960-80s within the frame of the Times of Change exhibition. On the one hand - the official art, in which the artists of the "harsh style" and representative of the generation of the 1970s rank first - Korzhev, Andronov, Nikonov, Moiseyenko, Zagonek and others. On the other hand - the art of club and apartment exhibitions of the "underground" represented in works by Arefiev, Weisberg, Rabine, Yankilevsky, Tselkov and others.
