The transitions to neoliberalism in Latin America and Eastern Europe in the late 20th century served as a backdrop to the commercial success and increasing institutional attention paid to contemporary artworks from these regions. This event brings together curators, critics and scholars to reexamine the potential parallelisms between the phenomena of contemporary art and neoliberalism in both of these geopolitical contexts.
