For Mini-Exhibition #6, "EXTINCT: Products from the Soviet State Store", Constantin and Laurene Boym created this limited edition piece for KIOSK entitled “Palace of the Soviets”, an object based on a monument to the Soviet state designed in the 1930s by Boris Iofan for Moscow. It was never built, hence... EXTINCT. For the exhibition they produced 85 mini-versions of the monument. You too can have your own personal dictator on your desk, after all now that Bush is out of office, don’t you need a little something special to replace him?
