The artistic tradition that emerged as a form of cultural
resistance in the 1970s changed during the transition from
socialism to capitalism. This volume presents the evolution of the
Moscow-based conceptual artist group called Collective Actions,
proposing it as a case-study for understanding the transformations
that took place in Eastern European art after the fall of the
Berlin Wall. Esanu introduces Moscow Conceptualism by performing a
close examination of the Collective Actions group's ten-volume
publication Journeys Outside the City and of the Dictionary of
Moscow Conceptualism. He analyzes above all the evolution of
Collective Actions through ten consecutive phases, discussing
changes that occur in each new volume of the Journeys. Compares the
part of the Journeys produced in the Soviet period with those
volumes assembled after the dissolution of the USSR. The concept of
"transition" and the activities of Soros Centers for Contemporary
Art are also analyzed.
