Twilight of the Magicians

A political history of Eastern Europe's leading figures of underground art during the 1980s and '90s

Set in the 1980s and '90s between St Petersburg and Gdansk, this book explores the phenomenon of underground art-world figures (from groups such as Pop-Mechanika, "New Artists," the National Bolshevik party, the Totart movement and Brulion magazine) choosing conservative revolutions over emancipatory politics.
