Samenvatting
This volume presents the first comprehensive academic study of the history and development of performance art in the former communist countries of Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe since the 1960s. Covering twenty-one countries and more than 250 artists, in addition to filling a lamentable gap in the literature on performance art and highlighting the diversity of practice across this very large and varied region of Europe, this text offers the following thesis: that artists from Eastern Europe were both connected to and independent of developments in the West, developing their performative and experimental work concurrently with artists in Western Europe and North America.
The first chapter casts a wide net over the beginning and development of performative practices in the East since the 1960s, citing seminal actions and happenings and early performances. The next four chapters address common themes undertaken by artists in the region – themes that emerged from the research: the body, gender, politics and identity and institutional critique. The author's method is comparative, employing Piotr Piotrowski's 'horizontal art history' to examine the centre from the perspective of the periphery. Bryzgel also examines performance art practices from a socio-historical and socio-political perspective, demonstrating how experimental art can serve as a litmus test for the limits of tolerance and prohibition in post-totalitarian communist Eastern Europe.
As the first comprehensive survey of the subject, this text is essential for those in the field of performance studies, or those researching contemporary Eastern European art. It will also be of interest to those in Slavic studies, art history and visual culture.
This volume presents the first comprehensive academic study of the history and development of performance art in the former communist countries of Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe since the 1960s. Covering 21 countries and more than 250 artists, this text demonstrates the manner in which performance art in the region developed concurrently with the genre in the West, highlighting the unique contributions of Eastern European artists. The discussions are based on primary source material-interviews with the artists themselves. It offers a comparative study of the genre of performance art in countries and cities across the region, examining the manner in which artists addressed issues such as the body, gender, politics and identity, and institutional critique.
