Drawing on archival material and exclusive interviews, in this book Izabel Galliera traces the development of socially engaged art from the early 1990s to the present in Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania. She demonstrates that, in the early 1990s, projects were primarily created for exhibitions organized and funded by the Soros Centers for Contemporary Art. In the early 2000s, prior to Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania entering into the European Union, EU institutions likewise funded socially-conscious public art in the region. Today, socially engaged art is characterised by the proliferation of independent and often self-funded artists' initiatives in cities such as Sofia, Bucharest and Budapest. Focusing on the relationships between art, social capital and civil society, Galliera employs sociological and political theories to reveal that, while social capital is generally considered a mechanism of exclusion in the West, in post-socialist contexts it has been leveraged by artists and curators as a vital means of communication and action. 410 0$aInternational library of modern and contemporary art ;$v33. 517 3 $aArt and civil society in Central and Eastern Europe 606 $aArt$xPolitical aspects$zEurope, Central 606 $aArt$xPolitical aspects$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aCommunism and art$zEurope, Central 606 $aCommunism and art$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aSocial movements in art 606 $aSocial practice (Art) 606 $aSocialism and art$zEurope, Central 606 $aSocialism and art$zEurope, Eastern 606 $2Art & design styles: from c 1960 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArt$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aArt$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aCommunism and art 615 0$aCommunism and art 615 0$aSocial movements in art. 615 0$aSocial practice (Art) 615 0$aSocialism and art 615 0$aSocialism and art 676 $a700.1/03 700 $aGalliera$b Izabel$01067975 712 02$aBloomsbury (Firm), 801 0$bYDX 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511902503321 996 $aSocially engaged art after socialism$92552304 997 $aUNINA
