Transmissions: Art in Eastern Europe and Latin America, 1960-1980

Transmissions: Art in Eastern Europe and Latin America, 1960-1980 focuses on the parallels and connections among international artists working in—and in reference to—Latin America and Eastern Europe during the 1960s and 1970s.

The exhibition features nearly 300 works from the Museum’s collection that explore the radical experimentation, expansion, and dissemination of ideas that marked the cultural production of these decades and challenged established art-historical narratives in the West.

Half of the works are on view for the first time, including works by Geta Br?tescu, Tomislav Gotovac, Ji?í Kovanda, Lea Lublin, George Maciunas, Marta Minujín, Ewa Partum, Liliana Porter, and Josip Vaništa.

Transmissions is organized by Stuart Comer, Chief Curator, Department of Media and Performance Art; Roxana Marcoci, Senior Curator, Department of Photography; and Christian Rattemeyer, Associate Curator, Department of Drawings and Prints; with Giampaolo Bianconi and Martha Joseph, Curatorial Assistants, Department of Media and Performance Art.
