- Title
On the Genealogy of 'Soros Realism': The 'Making of' International Eastern European Art (1989-2004).
- Authors
HÄRM, ANDERS
- Abstract
The purpose of this article is to show the genealogy and the development of the 'Soros realism phenomenon', i.e. to analyse the process that was accompanied by the homogenisation of the art practices in the remote corners of Eastern Europe, which previously had been very weakly related or the relationship was missing completely. An attempt is made to show how this process cannot be reduced to the mere network effect of Soros Centers of Contemporary Art, but that there are multiple factors and libidinal investments at play here; among other traits is the layer of Eastern European conceptualism of the 1970s and 1980s, which the Soros realism model is based upon.
