PhD Topic: Participatory and Socially Engaged Art in Eastern Europe
since the 1960s
Supervisor: Dr. Amy Bryzgel
This project aims to examine the phenomenon of participatory and
socially engaged art in the specific socio-political context of Eastern
Europe since the 1960s. Projects  may focus on any area of the former
communist and socialist countries of Central, Eastern or Southern
Europe, including single-country case studies or cross-country
comparisons. In a region of the world that had as its ideological aim,
at least in theory, the building of communism, with collective
self-management and socially inclusive policies, what was the function
of socially engaged artistic practices, which aimed to bring communities
together in an ameliorative capacity, in this environment? How did these
activities parallel or diverge from the aims of the state? Did
participatory art succeed in creating a collective environment that
socialism was aiming to build? This project will build on foundational
studies by Miwon Kwom and Claire Bishop and seek to understand the
particular function of participatory and socially engaged art in the
unique political environment of state-sponsored socialism.

For more information, please contact Dr. Bryzgel (a.bryzgel at abdn.ac.uk).
Proposals should be no more than 2,000 words, and include a discussion
of Aims and Objectives, Research Questions, Research Context,
Methodology and Critical Approach.

Possible research Topics:
Participatory and Socially Engaged Art in Communist Central and Eastern
Europe, c. 1960-1989
Participatory and Socially Engaged Art in the former Yugoslavia
Participatory and Socially Engaged Art in Eastern Europe since the Fall
of the Berlin Wall
Other topics within the main subject area are also welcome; please
inquire with Dr. Bryzgel.

Selection will be made on the basis of academic merit. Individuals with
a strong research background in the field of Eastern European
contemporary art and/or performance art, from either an art history or
visual culture background, are encouraged to apply. Applicants should
have the necessary language skills needed to undertake the proposed
research, and should indicate potential funding sources for travel to
conduct field research abroad if it is necessary to the proposed project.
