28: HISTORIES OF TIME - HISTORIES OF WRITING
An Archipelago of Time Zones. Time and Space in the Reception of the Historical Avant-Gardes / Harri Veivo,

During the past 25 years, research has problematized in many ways the spatial and temporal relations between the neo-avant-gardes and the historical avant-gardes as well as between neo-avant-garde movements in different countries. Hal Foster’s and Rosalind Krauss’s seminal works emphasized the processes of deferral that undermine the foundational myths of avant-garde and the organist narratives on its birth, blossoming and death. More recently, Martin Puchner and John Roberts among others have defended the continuing value of the avant-garde against the Bürgerian narrative of original value and farcical return of the avant-garde, whereas Piotr Piotrowski has convincingly shown how local factors pertaining to national art history, society and politics determined the creative adaptation of the western neo-avant-garde in East Central European countries during the Cold War. In my presentation, I want to move this discussion into the context of the period running from the 1910s to the 30s and focus on spatial and temporal structures in the reception of the historical avant-gardes outside of their original centres. I am interested in understanding how different modes and levels of mediation and interpretation – ranging from artistic response and learned essays to parody and caricatures – transformed the perception of the original orders of succession and dynamics of internal development of the historical avant-garde movements, producing synchronic views where differences between movements and relations of cause and effect or before and after were downplayed or articulated differently. While avant-garde connects artists and writers from different parts of Europe and generally advocates a teleological conception of time, a closer look reveals an archipelago of time zones where the international ideas and practices are negotiated with local conditions and where the flow of time becomes multilayered and -directional. Geography has a critical role here, as space in different modalities – such as access, distance, proximity – conditions cultural transfer, yet geography itself is intimately tied with the temporal regimes of modernity.
