Abstract
This chapter offers an explorative survey of how and to what ends the relationships between politics, religion and artistic production evolved in (post-) communist Romania. Correspondingly, the chapter focuses first on the late communist hegemony’s ambivalent political approach to religion inspired artistic production. The second section surveys the relationship between political art and Eastern Christianity after the fall of the regime in 1989, and asks whether we can speak of a peculiar type of “Christian political art” in post-communist Romania. The following two sections also approach the relationship between political art and religion in post-communist Romania, but from the perspective of the secular-ecclesiastical synthesis and resistance against institutionalized and nationalized religion.Keywords“Orthodox is Better” ExhibitionChristian political artSecular-ecclesiastical synthesis in artContemporary aesthetic mysticismReligious consumerism
