[1] Artistic Re-enactments in Eastern European Performance Art

From: Amy Bryzgel <a.bryzgel at abdn.ac.uk>
Subject: CFP: Artistic Re-enactments as Vehicles of Cultural Transfer in
Eastern European Performance Art

Deadline: Nov 9, 2015

Convenor: Amy Bryzgel, University of Aberdeen, a.bryzgel at abdn.ac.uk

Description: The re-enactment of artistic performances and actions is a 
topic that has garnered much attention in recent years, most notably 
catalogued in Amelia Jones’ and Adrian Heathfield’s substantial 
publication Perform, Repeat, Record: Live Art in History (2012). Given 
the fact that, in many cases, artistic transfer from one generation to 
the next did not occur in the traditional manner – through the academies 
– in Eastern Europe, re-enactments of artistic performance can function, 
in the region, as a witness to the forgotten past, functioning as a 
vehicle of cultural memory. Additionally, it can facilitate the transfer 
of ideas, history and practice from one generation to the next. This 
panel invites papers that discuss artistic re-enactments of performances 
from across the former communist and socialist countries of Central, 
Eastern and Southern Europe in recent artistic practice. The papers in 
the panel should interrogate some of the following questions: What are 
the various functions of artistic re-enactments of performances in 
Eastern Europe? How do these functions compare with current 
understandings of re-enactment in the West? How can re-enactments be 
used to access a lost or inaccessible history (such as performance art 
in Eastern Europe)? Also welcome are papers that consider revisiting 
culturally relevant or historically significant places by artists or 
within the context of artistic re-enactments.
