Tent. Parijs, Centre Pompidou, Galerie Sud and Espace 315, 14-04-2010, 14-07-2010. - Tentoonstelling onderzoekt, geïnspireerd door de tekst van Walter Benjamin 'On the Concept of History', het concept van het culturele continuum. Daarnaast onderzoekt het de betekenis van het toekennen van een strikte definitie aan de kunst uit een bepaald georgrafisch gebied in dit geval Oost-Europa. - Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Promises of the Past questions the former opposition between Eastern and Western Europe by reinterpreting the history of the communist block countries. To draw this discontinuous history of art in Former East, this transnational and transgenerational project features works by more than fifty artists from Central and Eastern Europe but also from other European Countries. Gathering together newly commissioned essays, art documentation, artists' pages, unpublished documents and an anthology of historical text this volume is an invaluable survey of the Eastern European art scene of the last decades - a scene which is gradually shifting from the periphery to the centre of current art-historical debates
