"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.

"This site is an index to Avalanche, an artist journal published in New York City from 1970-1976 by Willoughby Sharp and Liza Béar. Thirteen issues were published, one through eight in magazine format (Avalanche Magazine), nine through thirteen in tabloid newspaper format (Avalanche Newspaper).
Avalanche is closely associated with post-minimalist, post-studio conceptual artists in the United States and Europe. The journal is notable for its insistence in letting artists speak on behalf of their work and is replete with artist interviews conducted by Sharp and/or Béar, documentation of performances, and pieces created for the magazine. Avalanche is an important primary source for the study of the conceptual art scene in New York in the early 1970s. For the authoritative history of Avalanche Magazine, read Béar and Sharp’s Early History of Avalanche (London: Chelsea Space, 2005) which covers the the period when the magazine was being developed through the first two years of publication (1968-1972)."--About page.
