Applying a multitude of perspectives and networked topography, \u003ci\u003eThe Hungarian Avant-Garde and Socialism\u003c\/i\u003e investigates artistic strategies of spaces - namely those of the artist's studio, exhibitions, installations, clubs, apartments, cellars, event halls, and chapels - all of which existed parallel to or were interwoven with the regulated public sphere in Hungary from the beginning of the 1960s to the era immediately following the K?d?r regime. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book captures and discusses the exclusionary and inclusionary mechanisms inscribed into public spheres behind the Iron Curtain in all their paradoxes through the looking glass of an artist generation that was controversially labelled \"neo-\", and later, \"post-avant-garde\". Cross-referencing the international tendencies in the marginal art worlds that existed between and beyond the Cold War reality of Blocs, \u003ci\u003eThe Hungarian Avant-Garde\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how mostly non-conformist artists in Hungary, and by extension the spaces they created, reacted to the conflicting, contradictory nature of public spheres in the post-totalitarian condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katalin Cseh-Varga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350211621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350211629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"Katalin Cseh-Varga","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897376301311,"sku":"9781350211629","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21482440-e29a-40a5-9b4e-796a39c9c8fc.jpg?v=1721373787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hungarian-avant-garde-and-socialism-katalin-cseh-varga-9781350211629","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
