INVISIBLE HISTORY OF EXHIBITIONS - symposium
21-22 May 2009, Budapest
tranzit.hu - artalways.org project
CALL FOR PAPERS
Extended deadline: March 25 2009
"Invisible History of Exhibitions", a symposium organized by tranzit.hu (HU) aims at the formation of shared knowledge and discourse on Eastern European art exhibitions from the 1960s until now. The framework of this project is a long-term international collaboration, "art always has its consequences", that focuses on invisible, alternative histories through exhibition history, artists’ texts, archives, and conceptual design, which have had restricted international visibility and accessibility so far and thus are often missing from the canonized narratives of contemporary art.
