The Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art is proud to announce that two
major events dedicated to the Art History of Socialist Period in Eastern
Europe will take place in Riga in May, 2011.
Conference
Recuperating the Invisible Past. Perspectives and ways of dealing with the
complexity of art history of the 1960ies – 1980ies in Eastern Europe
Date: 17 – 18 May
Venue: Goethe Institute in Riga, Torna Street 1a
Exhibition
Parallel Chronologies. Invisible History of Exhibitions
Date: 17 May – 5 June
Venue: Riga City Art Space, Kungu Street 3, Old Town
The conference Recuperating the Invisible Past will focus on the most
recent understanding and approaches of writing and translating modernist
and neo-avant-garde art from the 60ies – 80ies in Eastern Europe. It will
introduce contemporary interpretations of parallel histories of East and
West European art and will present case studies where canonized narratives
of art will be challenged.
The conference presentations and discussions will be orientated around
streams: a) comparative analysis of regional art courses, b) looking into
approaches and methodologies which are or can be used, and c) parallel
looks and integration of knowledge from other disciplines into art
historical gaze.
Applying postcolonial and post-communist discourses, conference speakers
will offer diverse perspectives on how to deal with complexity of recent
East European art history by analyzing art practices and discourses that
are interwoven with sociopolitical and ideological agendas and
international movements. Also, they will speak about artistic phenomena,
created across artistic genres and art forms.
20 speakers include Eda Čufer (SL/USA), Victor Misiano (RUS), Sven
Spieker (USA/DE), Mark Allen Svede (USA), Linara Dovydaityte (LT) Piotr
Piotrovski (PL) and others.
Two panel discussions will also take place: “Writing History after 1989.
Relations between Postcolonialism and Postcommunism” and “Facing the
Shadow: Memory Politics in Baltics.”
