This event celebrates the launch of Art and Theory of Post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe: A Critical Anthology, which takes the political changes during the pivotal years between 1989 and 1991 as its starting point, reflecting on the disintegration of socialist states across Central and Eastern Europe and its impact on art, theory, and criticism over the last 30 years. This book is the product of 10 years of C-MAP research initiatives at The Museum of Modern Art in the fields of Central and Eastern European art and theoretical studies, and its launch brings the anthology’s editors together with distinguished contributors.
Leadership support for Art and Theory of Post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe: A Critical Anthology was provided by The International Council of The Museum of Modern Art. Generous funding was provided by The Renova Group of Companies. Additional support was provided by Claudia Quentin and by other donors.
