The exhibition Subversive Excerpts devotes itself to experimental and conceptual art practices that had established between the nineteen-sixties and eighties in Europe and South America under the influence of military dictatorships and communist regimes.
The focus of the show is on artistic practices that not only radically question the conventional concept of art, the institutions, and the relationship between art and public, but that have, at the same time, subversively thwarted structures of censorship and opposed the existing systems of power.
Subversive Excerpts is part of the project Art under conditions of dictatorial regimes, carried out by Württembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart, Arteleku, San Sebastian, and C3 – the Center for Culture and Communication Foundation, Budapest.
