Transition in Post-Soviet Art: The Collective Actions Group before and after 1989 by Octavian Esanu (CEU Press, 2012).

The artistic tradition that emerged as a form of cultural resistance in the 1970s changed during the transition from socialism to capitalism. This volume presents the evolution of the Moscow-based conceptual artist group called Collective Actions, proposing it as a case-study for understanding the transformations that took place in Eastern European art after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
