Abstract

The postsocialist contemporary joins a growing body of scholarship debating the definition and nature of contemporary art. It comes to these debates from a historicist perspective, taking as its point of departure one particular art programme, initiated in Eastern Europe by the Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros. First implemented in Hungary, the Soros Center for Contemporary Art (SCCA) expanded to another 18 ex-socialist countries throughout the 1990s. Its mission was to build a western 'open society' by means of art. This book discusses how network managers and artists participated in the construction of this new social order by studying the programme's rise, evolution, impact and broader ideological and political consequences. Rather than recounting a history, its engages critically with 'contemporary art' as the aesthetic paradigm of late-capitalist market democracy.

Abstract

The artistic tradition that emerged as a form of cultural resistance in the 1970s changed during the transition from socialism to capitalism. This study presents the evolution of the Moscow-based conceptual artist group called Collective Actions, as an example of the transformations that took place in Eastern European art after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Eşanu additionally introduces Moscow Conceptualism with a close examination of the group’s ten-volume publication Journeys Outside the City and the Dictionary of Moscow Conceptualism.
