Is Your Pop Our Pop? Art History as Self-Colonization in East-Central Europe
ARTMargins Online publishes an essay by Katalin Timár and Attila Horányi from Budapest, part of a series on contemporary art in East-Central Europe. The text is based on a panel convened by Susan Snodgrass at the College Art Association's annual meeting. It argues that repetition is a key concept in theorizing the postmodern condition, citing Hal Foster's 'The Return of the Real' and Rosalind Krauss's 'The Originality of the Avant-Garde' from MIT Press. The essay examines how art history functions as a self-colonizing tool in the region.
