Maria Bartuszová
in ‘The Promises of the Past’, Centre Pompidou, Paris
14 April – 19 July 2010

Maria Bartuszová is included in ‘The Promises of the Past’ at Centre Pompidou, Paris.
Crossing nations and generations, the exhibition presents the works of over 50 artists, mostly hailing from Central and Eastern Europe. Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin wall, the exhibition looks at Europe’s former East/West divide, and challenges the idea of art history as something linear and continuous.
The Centre Pompidou thus aims to introduce the public to artists whose creations and subject matters have marked their countries of origin, and to explain the salient influence of certain tutelary figures of Central and Eastern Europe on the younger generation of international artists.
