On Writing Fluid Histories of Modern Art with Jacques Rancière

Abstract

In this paper it is claimed that the conception of art regimes by Jacques Rancière may be a productive tool for coming across various binary oppositions used while thinking about modern art, such as modernism/social realism, official/non-official, political/apolitical, and let us write more fluid histories of modern art in the post-socialist and post-soviet countries.
