NETWORKS AND SOCIABILITY IN EAST EUROPEAN ART The Courtauld Institute of Art Saturday 23 October 2010 *BOOKING NOW* The SocialEast Seminar on Networks and Sociability in East European Art provides a forum for the presentation of new research into practices of informal exchange and patterns of alternative communication between experimental artists in the Eastern Bloc. The seminar explores the ways in which unauthorised artistic ideas were able to transgress national and ideological boundaries through networks of friendship and artistic collaboration that flew in the face of an official culture of isolationism, censorship and political control. It focuses on processes of artistic exchange that took shape at a grass-roots level, inventive strategies to surmount bureaucratic obstacles, and the specific meaning of ‘networking’ in the context of communist Eastern Europe. Speakers include: Zofia Kulik (Warsaw), Petr Stembera (Prague), Goran Trbuljak (Zagreb), Miško Šuvaković (University of Belgrade), (Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw), Dorota Monkiewicz (Contemporary Museum, Wrocław), Ewa Borysiewicz and Maria Matuszkiewicz (Warsaw University), Anthony Gardner (The Courtauld Institute of Art), Beata Hock (Central European University, Budapest), Anda Kļaviņa (Riga), Angelika Richter (Berlin), Jasmina Tumbas (Duke University, USA), Sarah Wilson (The Courtauld Institute of Art) and Jutta Vinzent (University of Birmingham).

It also highlights the work of a new generation of scholars whose approach to European art history is comparative, pluralistic and goes beyond the binary oppositions that has structured much thinking about Modernism, Socialist Realism, and Conceptual Art. The thematic areas covered range from the modalities of Socialist Realism under Stalin, the achievements of the Post Avant Garde in Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia, to public attitudes to the socialist past and recent reflections on the cultural legacy of East European socialism in contemporary art. order a copy A SHORT HISTORY OF SOCIALEAST The SocialEast Forum on the Art and Visual Culture of Eastern Europe was set up in order to address the many pertinent questions arising from the ongoing reconsideration of the history of art in Central and Eastern Europe...(more) PUBLICATION Revolution I Love You: 1968 in Art Politics and Philosophy Edited by Maja and Reuben Fowkes Published by MIRIAD Manchester Metropolitan University in association with Centre for Contemporary Art Thessaloniki, Trafo House of Contemporary Arts Budapest (May 2008) The exhibition publication considers the interconnection of art, politics and philosophy in 1968 across a divided Europe.
