Using the way in which artists from the former Eastern bloc perceive the experience of EU integration and transition from a Soviet past as a conceptual launching pad, this book explores how artists critically inhabit a permanent state of 'in-between' to capture the simultaneous existence of multiple and overlapping temporalities.
Transitional aesthetics are artistic strategies that disrupt and interrogate ideologically loaded trajectories of cultural, social, or political transition. Examples of such trajectories include the movement from totalitarianism to democracy (post-socialism), from war to freedom and reconciliation (post-conflict), and from the edges of Europe to its centre (inclusion in the European Union).
These transitional states include: the future orientation of (failed) socialism and the perpetual present of global capital; the history of unresolved past conflicts and reconciliation through 'transitional justice'; nationalist obsessions with the past and the cultural appeal of kitsch and retro objects in fashion, film and music; and the uncertain future promise of EU membership and resurgence of global right-wing populism, headed by figures like Berlusconi, Le Pen, and Trump.
Transitional Aesthetics shows that apprehending time in contemporary art is fundamental to capturing the lived experience of a permanent state of instability; particularly relevant to Europe in the contemporary moment. In a world that has entered 'accelerated transition' towards instability, understanding this experience has broad and resonating relevance for politics, art and society.

Uros Cvoro is senior lecturer in Art and Design and a researcher at Contemporary Culture, Art & Politics (CCAP) at the University of New South Wales, Australia.
Post-communism is not merely a historical condition; it is an ideology too that makes people mis-perceive their present, falsify their past and forget their future - all in the interest of the new rulers. This has become obvious in former Yugoslavia like nowhere else in the post-communist world. In his book Uros Cvoro has excellently demonstrated both the intellectual courage to openly reveal this truth and scholar's capacity to make his principle witness speak, the post-Yugoslav contemporary art, lucid, cheeky and unapologetic as ever - a necessary reading for all those who are tired of all the empty promises of the post-communism.
