The publication Primary Documents: A Sourcebook for Central and Eastern European Art since the 1950s (The Museum of Modern Art, 2002; Eds. L. Hoptman and T. Pospiszyl) set out to introduce English-speaking readers to the region’s major artistic and critical movements in the latter half of the 20th century, taking into account that, following the fall of the Iron Curtain, the official art history of many Eastern European countries had to be reconsidered and rewritten. The symposium Authentic Structures will look at critical issues from a local perspective and engage the Central and Eastern European specialists in the discussion....

The symposium aims to explore further the polarity of culture inherent to life under repressive regimes: the official culture versus the zone of underground – a kind of cultural schizophrenia. The symposium will also focus on the dichotomy between Western and Eastern European art history and attempt to determine whether the political changes have resulted in a common cultural landscape.
