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?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 Pécs Workshop from Hungary, OHO in Slovenia, TOK in Croatia, Rudolf Sikora in Slovakia, and the Czech artist Petr ?tembera, '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? sophisticated relationship to nature, at the precise moment when ecological crisis was first apprehended on a planetary scale. 606 $aEcology in art 606 $aArt, European$y20th century 606 $aModernism (Art)$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aCommunism and ecology$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aSocialism and art$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xCivilization$y20th century 610 $aArt History, Communism, Environment, Visual communication, Arts, Central and Eastern Europe. 615 0$aEcology in art. 615 0$aArt, European 615 0$aModernism (Art) 615 0$aCommunism and ecology$xHistory. 615 0$aSocialism and art$xHistory. 676 $a709.43/09046 700 $aFowkes$b Maja$01636861 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822578903321 996 $aThe green bloc$93978340 997 $aUNINA
