: Art tells tale of two cities

: Urban Russian culture - in the form of paintings and photographs - will be on display at two area exhibits in the coming weeks.
: In Jersey City, the C.A.S.E. Museum of Contemporary Russian Art commemorates the 300th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg with an exhibition by a group of Russian painters. The exhibit started yesterday and runs through May 2.

: Meanwhile, 20th century photographs of Moscow will be on view beginning Wednesday at Columbia University's Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery. The exhibit runs through June 21.

: Both cities deserve to be immortalized, and the two exhibitions do justice to their subjects.

: "St. Petersburg in New York" presents works by former non-conformist artists as well as contemporary ones: Mikhail Chemiakin, Oleg and Vladimir Liagachev, Anatoly Belkin, Anatoly Vassiliev, Valery Valran, Konstantin Troitsky and Alexander Ney, to mention just a few.

: Many of the featured artists emigrated from the former Soviet Union - some were forced to leave - and just as many have remained in Russia. But the glue that binds them all is their love for St. Petersburg. The works range from abstract to expressionism to fantasy.

: For information and directions, call the C.A.S.E. Museum of Contemporary Russian Art at (201) 332-5200. The museum, at 80 Grand St., Jersey City, is open daily except Mondays. 

: "Moscow: City, Spectacle, Capital of Photography" presents the work of 31 key Russian photographers. 

: And although curator Nadia Michoustina stems from Kiev, she obviously has a soft spot for Moscow.

: The 90 images, all 20th century views of Moscow, trace the history of Russian documentary photography - from Aleksandr Rodchenko and his constructivist visions to digital works from Anna Gorunova and Pakito Infante, who manipulate scenes of the city into an almost virtual reality.

: The photographs are on loan from Moscow's Cultural Center Dom, and many are being shown outside Russia for the first time.

: For information, call the gallery at (212) 854-7288. The gallery is in Schermerhorn Hall on the Columbia campus (116th St. and Broadway), and its hours are 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday.
