The art scenes of the postwar United States and Eastern Europe have been rarely viewed within a shared framework. Rather, art history writing has captured the post-war decades in Terms of an
ultimate difference between artistic styles and cultural politics in the two opposing political
blocs. With a view to displacing Cold War-indebted narratives and superseding traditional art
history’s center-periphery frameworks, the traveling seminars explore the relationship between
American art and events, developments and debates within the art scenes of East, Central and
Southeastern Europe during the Cold War and in the post-socialist period. Exploring various
»subtexts« defining art making both in North America and Eastern Europe, Linking Art Worlds aims
to shed new light on telling differences and tease out hitherto lesser ocknowledged parallels,
connections, or synchronicities between the U.S. and East European contexts.
