Eastern European Art at The Kitchen

Tomorrow night, The Kitchen will host a panel discussion to celebrate the launch of East Art Map: Contemporary Art and Eastern Europe, an Afterall Book edited by IRWIN, a group of five artists who make up the visual art component of the Slovenian arts collective NSK, based in Ljubljana. East Art Map is an attempt to reconstruct the missing histories of contemporary art in Eastern Europe from an East European artistic perspective. A wide-ranging art documentation project by the East on the East, the publication involves a large network of artists, scholars, curators and critics coordinated by the IRWIN group over several years. Miran Mohar, member of IRWIN, Roger Conover, writer, curator and Executive Editor of MIT Press, and Vitaly Komar, whose work is featured in the East Art Map , will present and discuss the project.

The event is sponored by the Consulate General of Slovenia in New York.  First come, first served, so get there early.  More information about East Art Map and other Afterall titles can be found here.
