I think I am being misunderstood in my posts; due no doubt to thoughtless hack writing on my part. I am not at all trying to "misbehave for notoriety". If anything, perhaps I am too cynical about the innocence of what is considered kitsch in America. But to avoid dragging myself into a debate my heart really isn't in, let me restate my original question. Namely, are there any artists in Eastern Europe/the former Soviet Union that play with the idea of "kitsch as art." If there are, who? What sort of images do they appropriate? --- from list avant-garde-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- ------------------
