This illustrated catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition 'BALAGAN!!! Contemporary Art from the Former Soviet Union and Other Mythical Places', which is part of NORDWIND Festival 2015.

'BALAGAN!!! is a popular exclamation that describes, with celebratory gusto, a farce, a fine mess, the most unholy of cock-ups. By turning the world upside down, in order to see its faliures more clearly, it also stands for a modern and contemporary artistic strategy, rooted in medieval Mystery Plays, puppet theatre and pantomine, that brings together the struggles of contemporary life with a desire for a new, hopefully better, life. Curated by David Elliott for MOMENTUM and the NORDWIND Festival, shown across three different venues in Berlin, this exhibition includes 150 artworks by 75 artists from 14 countries in the former "East" that reflect this approach.' - from the front flap.
