Works from a new generation of Central and Eastern European artists that engage post-conceptual strategies and collectively challenge accepted notions of the East as a social, political and art historical monolith.


Rearview Mirror – A large thematic exhibition that brings together the work of a new generation of artists from Central and Eastern Europe. Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin wall, the practices included in this exhibition engage post-conceptual strategies and forms. Looking both to the past and to the future, the work of the 22 artists in Rearview Mirror collectively challenge accepted notions of Eastern Europe as a social, political and art historical monolith.


The exhibition is not all-inclusive or encyclopedic. Instead, it looks at the non-traditional practices of a younger generation of artists from the last decade, presenting an opportunity to view art works by relative newcomers such as Cyprian Muresan, Gintaras Dzidziapetris, and Anna Molska in the context of some of their contemporaries already known through international art circuits such as Paweł Althamer, Roman Ondák, and Wilhelm Sasnal. The exhibition is a co-presentation with the Art Gallery of Alberta. It travels to the AGA on Jan.
27-Apr. 29, 2012.


The project will be accompanied by a substantial publication with commissioned texts, copublished by The Power Plant and Art Gallery of Alberta, and the exhibition will be complimented by talks and other public programming.
