The Network
Purpose
This website provides an independent platform for a global discussion on European art scenes that, for the most part, developed in a marginalized “second public sphere”. Geopolitically, we are focusing on countries in which, in the course of the construction of state socialist regimes during the Cold War, all forms of artistic autonomy came at the price of not being allowed to network and had to be achieved parallel to a controlled form of communication that was in conformity with the system.
Initiators
Through our common interest in East-Central-European Neo-Avant-Garde’s event-based and intermedia art we came together and developed the idea of building a research network with other people interested in the same topic. Become acquainted with us through reading our short profiles.
