Objetivo The aim of this project is to provide, for the very first time, an overview of the historical and transnational development of performance art (performances, actions, happenings) in Eastern Europe during the dictatorship period. Performance art shall not only be presented as an object of study, but also as a central art genre implicitly and explicitly involved both in the investigation of cultural practices and in the creation of alternative ways of action. The project focuses, for one, on the artistic exploration of totalitarian or real-socialist practices, rituals, and gestures, but also on artistic ways of action developed in the course of underground activity. Eastern European performance art came to life under conditions in which it was from the very start considered as dubious both aesthetically and contentwise. However, tolerance, hindrance, and sometimes even prohibition led to a heightened degree of self-reflection, minimalism, abstraction, and analysis; in other words, to characteristics representative of the specificity of East European performance art between 1950 and 1990.At the same time, the proposed project is to be understood as an archaeological one, for it sets out to reconstruct correlations and interactions between unofficial artistic production and official cultural practice. Moreover, it aims to make available to a broader public artistic endeavours that until now could not be centred on in research fields like art history, theatre-, and cultural studies in an Eastern European context.The project will concentrate on the following four research areas:1. Territorial interrelationships (between the Eastern European countries, between East and West)2. Specificity of practice in Eastern European performance art (subversive affirmation, minimalism, abstraction)3. Interrelationships between artistic action and political activism in the underground4. Self-reflection in Eastern European performance art (self-archivisation, self-commentary) Ámbito científico humanitieshistory and archaeologyhistoryhumanitiesartsperforming artsdramaturgyhumanitiesartsart historysocial sciencespolitical sciencesgovernment systems Programa(s) FP7-IDEAS-ERC - Specific programme: "Ideas" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) Tema(s) ERC-CG-2013-SH5 - ERC Consolidator Grant - Cultures and Cultural Production Convocatoria de propuestas ERC-2013-CoG Consulte otros proyectos de esta convocatoria Régimen de financiación ERC-CG - ERC Consolidator Grants Coordinador University of Zurich Aportación de la UE € 1 998 302,00 Dirección Ramistrasse 71 8006 Zurich Suiza Ver en el mapa Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Investigador principal Sylvia Monika Sasse (Prof.) Contacto administrativo Sylvia Monika Sasse (Prof.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos Beneficiarios (1) Ordenar alfabéticamente Ordenar por aportación de la UE Ampliar todo Contraer todo University of Zurich Suiza Aportación de la UE € 1 998 302,00 Dirección Ramistrasse 71 8006 Zurich Ver en el mapa Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Investigador principal Sylvia Monika Sasse (Prof.) Contacto administrativo Sylvia Monika Sasse (Prof.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos
