Some of the most impressive new art today, especially in painting and video, is
coming from Eastern and Central Europe's former communist countries. After
the Fall attempts to understand how this art differs from art in the West and,
more importantly, why artists from this region are making such compelling work
at this
moment.
Countries included in After the Fall are Croatia (Elvis Krstulovic, Marin
Majic, Goran Skofic, Josip Tiric, Zlatan Vehabovic) Czech Republic (Josef Bolf,
Daniel Pitin), Hungary (Zsolt Bodoni, Alexander Tinei, Attila Szucs), Latvia
(Janis Avotins), Romania (Leonardo Silaghi, Marius Bercea, Adrian Ghenie, Ion
Grigorescu, Serban Savu, Ciprian Muresan) and Slovenia (Matija Brumen). This is
a heterogeneous political, social, cultural and religious region, each having
evolved differently after the fall of their governmental
systems.
For "After the Fall", founders of HVCCA, Marc and Livia Straus,
visited over 1,500 artists' studios, galleries, art schools, alternative
spaces, and
museums.
After the Fall is made possible with the generous support of: ArtsWestchester,
White Plains, NY, Romanian Cultural Institute, New York,NY, Czech Center
New York, NY and Embassy of the Czech Republic, Washington, D.C., Hungarian
Cultural Center, New York, NY and the Consulate General of the Republic of
Croatia, New York,
NY.
