Under the leadership of Marina Gržinić, Günther Heeg and Veronika Darian, an international group of academics and young theoreticians from eastern and western Europe are elaborating ideas of exchange and communication for an “East Art Map,” an art map of eastern Europe. The network emerging from this collaborative effort will focus on the cultural, political and social background of artistic praxis and identify the interventional character of theoretical approaches. The reflections and observations of the young theoreticians are to be presented for discussion in October 2005 at an international symposium in Leipzig.
