For the past 50 years, East European artists have experienced the destruction of their societies and cultures. Rather than trying to find new belief systems to fill the void, numerous individuals have decided to question the idea of belief systems itself. This compelling exhibition catalog shows works from artists and authors from Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria and Slovakia that directly tackle this cultural transition. The book also features excellent illustrations, a fold-out timeline of important events since 1945, regional maps, and statistical information regarding each country.

The catalogue accompanied the exhibition held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Jun 24, 1995 – Sep 3, 1995.
