From Russia to Poland and Romania, and from the Czech Republic to
Yugoslavia and East Germany, Contemporary Art in Eastern Europe is
an ambitious attempt to chart the changing realities of the eastern
half of Europe as seen through the eyes of artists, critics,
photographers and curators. If the Iron Curtain and the antagonisms
of the Cold War era had often kept the richness and diversity of
Eastern European art hidden from the rest of the world, the
contemporary era has been a witness to its unparalleled creative
explosion and fruitful dialogue with the global art scene. The work
featured in this book explores the correlations between shifts in
the political, cultural, economic and geographical realities of
Eastern Europe and the region's contemporary art. The artists in
this book revisit the region's past to envision a better future,
reaching challenging conclusions and producing some of the most
powerful and inspiring art being produced today. The book features
essays from respected writers in the field and profiles the most
influential artists producing work in and from the region today,
including Marina Abramovic, Christo, Krzysztof Wodiczko, Zofia
Kulik, Komar and Melamid, IRWIN, Natalia Lach-Lachowicz, Alexander
Brodsky, Ewa Partum, NSK, Group OHO, Stano Filko, Laibach,
KwieKulik, Post Ars, Weekend Art, Zbigniew Libera, Marjetica Potrc,
and Mladen Stilinovic. The following countries are covered in this
anthology: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Czech Republic, East Germany, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania,
Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovak Republic,
Slovenia and Yugoslavia. Contemporary Art in Eastern Europe is the
third title in the ARTWORLD series following Contemporary Art in
the Middle East and Contemporary Art in Latin America.
