Reviews

Socially Engaged Art after Socialism is the first comprehensive scholarly treatment of the important new forms of socially engaged art that emerged in Central and Eastern Europe following the demise of the USSR. Its publication represents an important intervention in the emerging critical and theoretical debate around socially engaged art, and will allow us to further broaden the geopolitical scope of this important research. * Grant Kester, Professor of Art History, University of California, San Diego, USA and author of 'Conversation Pieces: Community and Communication in Modern Art' *
