Her practice is strongly informed by her interdisciplinary collaborations in research-based, on-site projects, such as Théâtre Evolutif (Bordeaux, 2011), The Cook, the Farmer, His Wife and Their Neighbour (Stedelijk Goes West, Am- sterdam, 2009), and Dry Toilet (Caracas, 2003). She translates these investigations into text-based drawings and large-scale architectural installations ("case studies"). Her work has been featured in exhibi- tions throughout Europe and the Americas, including the São Paulo (1996, 2006) and Venice biennials (1993, 2003, 2009). She has received numerous grants and awards, including the Hugo Boss Prize (2000) and the Vera List Center for Arts and Politics Fellowship at The New School in New York (2007).

In the following interview, they reflect upon contemporary artists that are addressing environmental and sustainabil- ity concerns, as well as larger issues connected to these themes.

Janeil Engelstad: Taking a broad look at Central European artists working today in ecology and with sustainability, do you sense that there is a collective art/environmental scene? And if so, do you see this work as strengthening the larger Environmental Movement? Maja and Reuben Fowkes: It is certainly possible to identify various trends and flows within contemporary Central European art that are connected to the spread of ecological thinking, although, in our opinion, without coalescing into a movement. Environmental activism is one pole around which artists have come together, but again this tends to be related to specific issues or campaigns. In that sense, it was interesting that when in 2013 mass environmental protests sprung up in Romania over plans to develop destructive open-pit gold mining in Transylvania, on the whole artists took part more as citizens than by addressing the issue through their art practice.

    Originally published in “Porównania” 7/2010, p. 43-56. WHAT SORT OF HISTORY DOES CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE NEED? THE CHANCES OF ORAL HISTORY1 MICHAŁ KIERZKOWSKI2 (Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland) Keywords: oral history, cultural memory, historical policy, Middle-East Europe, historical education Słowa kluczowe: historia mówiona, pamięć kulturowa, polityka historyczna, Europa Środkowo-Wschodnia, edukacja historyczna Abstract: Michał Kierzkowski, WHAT SORT OF HISTORY DOES CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE NEED? THE CHANCES OF ORAL HISTORY. “PORÓWNANIA” 7, 2010, Vol. VII, pp. 43-56, ISSN 1733-165X. In my article I consider the necessity of distinct means of historical research in the Middle-East Europe. My analysis is divided into two parts. The first part is a presentation of a contention between different Western and Eastern approaches to own past. To illustrate this issue I give two examples – first one relating to historical sphere, second one relating to social and cultural sphere of reality. These two perspective constitute a justification of a title question and attempt to answer. The second part is a proposition of answer. Here, considering few methodological and theoretical problems raised by Polish researchers, I am trying to find inside these problems an adaptation for oral history as a research method which gains more and more interests. By using some general issues as cultural memory, historical education or historical policy, I concentrate on a peculiarity of contemporary history of the Middle-East Europe. To illustrate my considerations on chances and possibilities of oral history, I refer to some projects from post communistic countries.

We not only staged our biggest yet International Conference on Opportunities in the Arts, but we started to create an archive of all the presentations so that artists everywhere could have access to the information presented. We also moved our offices to The Artist Building at 300 Summer Street – putting us in the heart of downtown Boston, steps away from the subway, train, airport and harbor and into a building of artist studios with a printer, gallery, framer and lively café. And, we embarked upon an agreement with Laval University and the City of Québec City to take our 2018 Conference out of our home base – indeed, out of the US – and into Canada. We also said good-bye to some board and advisory board members (Lynne Allen and Johann Pousette), thanking them for their exemplary service and welcoming in Susan Cohen, Jan Hanvik, Beth Kantowitz and Greg Stone to take their place. Most significant by far was our 2016 Conference and its archive. Its title – Expanding Worlds – said it all. This year’s theme originally was chosen to build upon on the excitement generated by Engaging Minds - the last Conference’s exploration of possibilities for artists to explore new cultures, mindsets and technologies. As time went on, though, the title proved even more apt, as new sponsors signed on and the scope of the programming grew.
