Maja and Reuben Fowkes are curators and art historians whose work focuses on the theory and aesthetics of East European art from the art production of the socialist era to contemporary artistic responses to the transformations brought by globalisation. Their interests in the field of art and ecology are expressed through their curated exhibitions, symposia, as well as writings, which have explored key notions and practices around green curating, environmental art history and the sustainability of contemporary art. In 2013 they founded the Translocal Institute for Contemporary Art, a centre for transnational research into East European art and ecology based in Budapest that operates across the disciplinary boundaries of art history, contemporary art and ecological thought.
