http://tranzit.org/exhibitionarchive/
Description
"The aim of the online exhibition archive is to create a common knowledge and discourse around the history of various curatorial and artistic practices within the Eastern-European art scenes. Our goal is to present an international network of professional relationships, documents of exhibitions, events, and art spaces instead of merely displaying artworks. We also attempt to propose a methodology with which documents and factual information, as well as legends and cults can be researched, processed, and shared. We are focusing on the period determined by different versions of state-socialisms and capitalisms, political control of official art events, and the development of a parallel culture that incorporated a network of very heterogeneous dissident positions defined on the level of ideologies, art movements, or life-styles. The time-frame of the archive is not set with exact dates as they are slightly different in every country. We wish to trace and introduce new methodologies that can incorporate the particularities of the art events realized in these specific circumstances into the international discourses around exhibition theories."--'About' page.
