Download or read book Art beyond Borders written by Jérôme Bazin and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents and analyzes artistic interactions both within the Soviet bloc and with the West between 1945 and 1989. During the Cold War the exchange of artistic ideas and products united Europe’s avant-garde in a most remarkable way. Despite the Iron Curtain and national and political borders there existed a constant flow of artists, artworks, artistic ideas and practices. The geographic borders of these exchanges have yet to be clearly defined. How were networks, centers, peripheries (local, national and international), scales, and distances constructed? How did (neo)avant-garde tendencies relate with officially sanctioned socialist realism? The literature on the art of Eastern Europe provides a great deal of factual knowledge about a vast cultural space, but mostly through the prism of stereotypes and national preoccupations. By discussing artworks, studying the writings on art, observing artistic evolution and artists’ strategies, as well as the influence of political authorities, art dealers and art critics, the essays in Art beyond Borders compose a transnational history of arts in the Soviet satellite countries in the post war period.

Book excerpt: Bulgaria: A Travel Guide takes tourists through a country rapidly blossoming into a travel hot spot. A compelling and unique supplement to the traditional travel guide, Ward's book is a delightful account of his experiences in Bulgaria, offering intriguing insight into the country's history and culture. Bulgaria is traditionally famed for its sunny beaches, the Black Sea's golden sands, and skiing in picturesque mountain resorts. Encouraging traveler creativity, this book guides the reader through lesser-known sites such as the beautiful "museum towns." When staying at the "museum town" of Melnik, for example, one should not shy away from striking up conversation with locals at Chinarite, the popular neighborhood restaurant. Ward also suggests that while visiting the renowned "Sunny Beach," tourists visit the scenic Nesebur Peninsula. Whether people watching in Lenin Square, which Ward describes as "teeming with everyday Bulgarian life," or touring the National History Museum in Sofia, the country's capital, travelers are sure to encounter people and places unknown to the average visitor.

Download or read book Socially Engaged Art after Socialism written by Izabel Galliera and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
