Performance art in eastern europe since 1960 (Manchester University Press)

This is the first comprehensive academic study of the history of performance art in Eastern Europe. It is a comparative study that covers 21 countries across the region, highlighting the unique contribution of these artists to the genre of performance art. It proposes that artists from Eastern Europe were both connected to and independent of developments in the West, creating performative and experimental work concurrently with artists in Western Europe and North America.
