Objectif 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) Champ scientifique humanitieshistory and archaeologyhistoryhumanitiesartsperforming artsdramaturgyhumanitiesartsart historysocial sciencespolitical sciencesgovernment systems Programme(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) Thème(s) ERC-CG-2013-SH5 - ERC Consolidator Grant - Cultures and Cultural Production Appel à propositions ERC-2013-CoG Voir d’autres projets de cet appel Régime de financement ERC-CG - ERC Consolidator Grants Coordinateur University of Zurich Contribution de l’UE € 1 998 302,00 Adresse Ramistrasse 71 8006 Zurich Suisse Voir sur la carte Type d’activité Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Chercheur principal Sylvia Monika Sasse (Prof.) Contact administratif Sylvia Monika Sasse (Prof.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée Bénéficiaires (1) Trier par ordre alphabétique Trier par contribution de l’UE Tout développer Tout réduire University of Zurich Suisse Contribution de l’UE € 1 998 302,00 Adresse Ramistrasse 71 8006 Zurich Voir sur la carte Type d’activité Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Chercheur principal Sylvia Monika Sasse (Prof.) Contact administratif Sylvia Monika Sasse (Prof.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée
