| book description |

This volume is published to mark the 40th anniversary of the artistsâ€™ collective Rrose Irwin SÃ©lavy and to accompany the exhibition at HMKV Dortmund. Since 1983, IRWIN has been investigating the art history of Eastern Europe, especially the ambivalent legacy of the historical avant-garde and its totalitarian successors, i.e. the dialectic of avant-garde and totalitarianism. Since the 1990s, the focus of the group has been on challenging the art history of â€œWestern Modernismâ€ in a critical and iconoclastic way. The artists playfully and darkly contrast it with the â€œretro avant-gardeâ€ and an â€œEastern Modernismâ€. The book, which can be read from both sides, is made up of two parts: the first chapter explores the black humour that is a consistent element in IRWINâ€™s work. The second chapter examines issues relating to the state â€“ and how IRWIN uses them to comment on current topics such as migration. Text in English and German.
