The conference on Contested Spheres: Actually Existing Artworlds under Socialism provides a platform for fresh research into the art history of Eastern Europe that brings to light the varied solutions that artists and cultural workers found to living and working inside the socialist system in the period of the 1960s and 1970s. Like the majority of citizens of \u2018actually existing Socialism\u2019, artists, curators and art historians devised their own individual strategies for negotiating a haphazardly repressive system and actively participated in shaping a complex artistic landscape of alternative spaces, transitory gatherings and artist-run galleries which all functioned according to the unorthodox rules of the socialist art economy. Examining the variety of possible attitudes adopted by cultural producers to the socialist system that ranged from confrontation and withdrawal to conformity and compromise, this conference sets out to foster debate about the conditions of artistic production under Socialism and how these affected the individual trajectories, aesthetic choices and post-communist legacies of East European artists.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The conference is co-organised by Kass\u00e1k Museum<\/a> and Translocal Institute of Contemporary Art<\/a> and takes place within the framework of the Kass\u00e1k Museum\u2019s on-going research project into the art of the 1960s and 70s, led by Kass\u00e1k M\u00fazeum director, Edit Sasv\u00e1ri. The conference board members are Dr. Maja Fowkes and Dr. Reuben Fowkes, Translocal Institute, Budapest, Dr. Klara Kemp Welch, Courtauld Institute London, Dr. Emese K\u00fcrti, ACB Research Lab, Budapest and Dr.Tom\u00e1\u0161 Pospiszyl, Academy of Fine Arts, Prague.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
