Recent historical-theoretical and curatorial examinations on the contemporary art of Eastern Europe, conducted by researchers such as Piotr Piotrowski, Marina Gržinić or Zdenka Badovinac[1], consistently call for a new paradigm within which the art of the former Eastern bloc can be properly interpreted and contextualised.

Dystopian Realms / Idyllic Meadows, the 8th Baltic Contemporary Art Biennial focused on European identity and the values on which it is based and built. Europe, as a project based on values such as individual liberty, tolerance, free expression and capitalism, is being tested by substantive shifts in political and social reality. The project was conceived as a tool to analyze this emerging in statu nascendi cultural and political order and to discover some of paradoxes that accompany the processes of adapting to the forces of change.
