At the inivtation of ARTMargins, I guest produced a special issue of the on-line edition of the Journal, which investigated historical and contemporary environmental art in the former Eastern Bloc countries through the lenses of capitlism, globalization, climate change and the legacy of Socialism. Traveling through Central Europe I had conversations with artists and curators about the conenction of art, ecology and dissidence in the former Socialist Bloc, a topic that I first becasme interested in as a Fulbright Scholar in Slovakia in 2006. Participants included Nina Czlegledy, Maja and Reuben Fowkes, Tamás Kaszás, Marjetica Potrč and Rudolf Sikora. The material produced for ARTMargins included transcripted interviews, video, photography, archival art and other forms of interaction with artists and cultural producers concerned with the idea and the material reality of what goes by the name of the "natural environment."
