Margarita Kontev
Balkanic Methods: Western European
Curatorial Interventions in Eastern European Art in the Early 2000s

Margarita Kontev examines Western European curatorial approaches to Eastern European art in the early 2000s, identifying attempts to construct a ‘preconceived image of Balkan identity’ through several large-scale exhibitions. Through a close examination of these exhibitions in conjunction with the political histories of the region, Kontev argues that this framework produced an exploitative, flattening ‘Othering’ of Eastern European identities through a generalised ‘Balkan aesthetic.’
