POST-COMMUNIST DEVELOPMENT OF CONTEMPORARY ART AND THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL CHANGES SINCE THE BERLIN WALL CAME DOWN 25 YEARS AGO
October 10, 2014 16.00
Panel discussion
It is exactly a quarter century ago that the Berlin Wall came down and ceased to separate East from the West, physically and symbolically, as well. Political, social and economic changes of those times and the years that has passed since then have significantly changed the infrastructure of art, the position of the artist, the general contemporary art scene. Probably the main epicenter of these changes and also their emblematic place is Berlin. Speakers will take such examples as Berlin and Budapest to observe the impact of social changes on the art scene of the post-communist region 25 years ago and over the past 25 years.
