Please join us this Sunday, September 19, 3-7 pm
for the opening reception of:
After the Fall
Emerging Artists from East and Central Europe
opening reception 3-5 pm
round table discussion with the participating artists 5-7 pm
Some of the most
impressive new art today, especially in painting and video, is coming from
Eastern and Central Europe's former communist countries. After the Fall attempts
to understand
how this art differs from art in the West and, more importantly, why artists
from this region are making such compelling work at this moment.
Countries
included in After the Fallare Croatia (Elvis Krstulovic, Marin Majic, Goran Skofic,
Josip Tiric, Zlatan Vehabovic) Czech Republic(Josef Bolf, Daniel
Pitin), Hungary(Zsolt Bodoni, Alexander Tinei, Attila Szucs), Latvia (Janis
Avotins), Romania (Leonardo Silaghi, Marius Bercea, Adrian Ghenie, Ion
Grigorescu, Serban Savu, Ciprian Muresan) and Slovenia(Matija Brumen).
This is a heterogeneous political, social, cultural and religious region, each
having evolved differently after the fall of their governmental systems.
For After the Fall,founders of HVCCA, Marc
and Livia Straus, visited over 1,500 artists' studios, galleries, art schools,
alternative spaces, and museums.
