Bridge over Time : Contemporary Picture of the Past. Part 2: After the Revolution

The fall of the Berlin Wall was a symbolic moment that marked a break with the post-
Yalta past for all the Visegrad Group countries. They had to face transformation and
navigate a new political and social situation, which impacted artistic practices.
The project Bridge over Time: Contemporary Picture of the Past. Part 2: After
the Revolution (2026-27) focuses on the analysis of art created after the 1989
breakthrough and covers the period from the 1990s onwards. We have chosen the
beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and the sanitary crisis of 2020-2022 as the end
date for our research. We therefore examine the first three decades of art after 1989
in the Visegrad Group countries – the period of transformation in the 1990s and
stabilization following accession to the EU.

Slovakia through Visegrad Grants from the International Visegrad Fund.
The mission of the fund is to advance ideas for sustainable regional cooperation in
Central Europe.
