Reclaiming public life from the ideologies of both communist
regimes and neoliberalism, their projects have harnessed the
politically subversive potential of social relations based on
trust, reciprocity and solidarity. Drawing on archival material and
exclusive interviews, in this book Izabel Galliera traces the
development of socially engaged art from the early 1990s to the
present in Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania. She demonstrates that, in
the early 1990s, projects were primarily created for exhibitions
organized and funded by the Soros Centers for Contemporary Art. In
the early 2000s, prior to Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania entering
into the European Union, EU institutions likewise funded
socially-conscious public art in the region. Today, socially
engaged art is characterised by the proliferation of independent
and often self-funded artists' initiatives in cities such as Sofia,
Bucharest and Budapest.Focusing on the relationships between art,
social capital and civil society, Galliera employs sociological and
political theories to reveal that, while social capital is
generally considered a mechanism of exclusion in the West, in
post-socialist contexts it has been leveraged by artists and
curators as a vital means of communication and action.
