The  turbulent legacy of 1968, which saw the confluence of political  upheaval, spread of counterculture, rise of ecological consciousness,  and emergence of global conceptual art, provides the setting for Maja  Fowkes&#8217;s innovative reassessment of the environmental practice of the  Central European neo-avant-garde. Focussing on artists and artist groups  whose ecological dimension has rarely been considered, including the  P\u00e9cs Workshop from Hungary, OHO in Slovenia, TOK in Croatia, Rudolf  Sikora in Slovakia, and the Czech artist Petr \u0160tembera, The Green Bloc:  Neo-avant-garde Art and Ecology under Socialism brings to light an array  of distinctive approaches to nature, from attempts to raise  environmental awareness among socialist citizens to the exploration of  non-anthropocentric positions and the quest for cosmological existence  in the midst of red ideology. Embedding artistic production in social,  political, and environmental histories of the region, this book reveals  the Central European artists&#8217; sophisticated relationship to nature, at  the precise moment when ecological crisis was first apprehended on a  planetary scale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Maja Fowkes is Co-Director of the <a href=\"http:\/\/translocal.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Translocal Institute for  Contemporary Art Budapest<\/a>.
