商品簡介
In a comparative study of Central European neo-avant-garde artists' engagement with ecology, Fowkes seeks to identify an ensemble of outstanding and complementary artistic approaches that could help provide a more complete picture of the environmental art history of the region. She covers abstract elements in the industrial environment: the land art of the Hungarian group Pecs Workshop; the cosmic environment of the Slovenian group OHO; ecology of the socialist city: the public art of the Croatian group TOK; correlations of geography, ecology, and cosmology in the conceptual practices of Slovak artist Rudolf Sikora; and embodied environmental awareness in the performative practice of Czech artist Petr Stembera.
