“Transmissions: Art in Eastern Europe and Latin America, 1960–1980”

Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53rd St., NYC

the exhibition focuses on parallels and connections among artists active in Latin America and Eastern Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. “For every name you recognize [in the show], there are 10 you don’t. Multiple languages — Czech, Romanian, Slovak, Spanish, Portuguese, as well as English — fill the air. As for topics discussed, art, poetry, film and theater seem to be getting about equal time. One thing everyone’s talking about, at different intensities, is politics, namely the anti-institutional politics that took the form of mass civil disobedience throughout Europe and the Americas in the 1960s and led to new forms of art. And on that subject almost everyone speaks and shares an aesthetic language, the language. It’s the language of Conceptualism, which, with an accent on ideas over things, process over results, ephemeral over permanent, arrived at this critical time, spreading across a pre-Internet globe through a kind of cultural telepathy.” - Holland Cotter, NY Times

Atypical: Series of posters by Pawel Nolbert, exploring form and rhythm of letters or pseudo-letters presented as half-realistic, half-illustrative figurative sculptures.The artworks were built from an elaborate artistic painterly gestures into expressive arrangements – extending the aesthetic characteristic of typography.
