East Art Map Symposium at Calvert 22 Explores IRWIN and Eastern European Art Histories
On Saturday, June 2, 2012, Calvert 22 is teaming up with the History of Art Department at University College London to host a symposium about the Slovenian artist collective IRWIN and their project, East Art Map. The event will delve into topics like archiving, self-historicization, and re-enactment in Eastern European art. Afterall published East Art Map: Contemporary Art and Eastern Europe in 2006, showcasing the region's artistic evolution since 1945. This initiative aims to spotlight creative efforts and recover forgotten narratives. The symposium will run from 14:00 to 18:00 and feature speakers like Afterall's Charles Esche. It will be held at University College London, and tickets cost £5.00, with copies of East Art Map available for purchase.
