Социокултурни условия на новата живопис в България по време на прехода (1989‒2004 г.)
Sociocultural Conditions of New Painting in Bulgaria in the Time of Transition (1989–2004)

Summary/Abstract: The article presents an interpretation how with the collapse of the cultural system of real socialism in Bulgaria the art scene begins its transformation into a ‘field of art’ (in the sense of Pierre Bourdieu), in the context of the significant political, economic and social changes. It introduces a view on the specific forces, stakes and interests involved in the developments, through which painting that had been dominating the field initially, was overshadowed by new media practices in the mid 90 s, to achieve recognition at the end of the period as legitimate medium of contemporary art on certain conditions.
