Crossing Lines, Entangling Histories: Eastern European Art and Aesthetic Theories in Italy, 1945–1991

International symposium organized by Matteo Bertelé (Centre for Studies in Russian, Central Asian and Caucasian Art, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice), Hana Gründler (Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max-Planck-Institut), and Sven Spieker (University of California Santa Barbara), Venice, 3-4 December 2026.

The aim of the symposium is twofold: on one hand it seeks to investigate how art and aesthetic practices and theories from Eastern Europe were received, framed, contested, and circulated in Italy from 1945 to 1991. On the other, it wishes to explore the understudied presence of artists and intellectuals from Eastern Europe in Italy, and to analyze their engagement with and critical transformation of Italian culture.
