In communist Central, Eastern and Southern
Europe, the building of socialism had as its
final endpoint a utopia that provided the
ultimate motivation: sacrifice now, reward later.
In its sheer impossibility, it was an elusive and
illusory dream that formed the foundation for
everyday life under totalitarian regime. Within
this visionary world, artists such as Alexander
Mlynarcik (Slovakia), Marko Kovacic (Slovenia) or
Mark Verlan (Moldova), created their own parallel
worlds, utopias, dystopias, and fantastic
domains. In many cases, alternative and
nonofficial artists' works served to carve out a
unique space in the so-called "grey zone" of
Europe, which offered an alternative not only to
state-sponsored socialism, but also to Western
capitalism, both of which many artists and
dissidents viewed with equal suspicion. This
panel will examine a range of artistic ideas,
participative strategies, subversive practices,
networks and projects (imaginary or real), which
demonstrate an alternative sphere of thinking and
modes of creative living, and which possibly
attempt to move beyond the classical binary
systems of West and East - all from within an
everyday world order that seemed to be set in
stone. We also invite papers that offer a more
differentiated view, even extending to the
post-socialist period, aiming to re-evaluate the
nexus of aesthetics and politics and produce new
interpretations and analytical approaches
regarding counterculture and censorship, which
explore the relational aspects of following
binaries: official and unofficial, political and
apolitical, permitted and prohibited - under
totalitarian rule.
