Published alongside the exhibition 'Kidnapping Mountains' at Netwerk / Center for Contemporary Art, Aalst, Belgium (26 April – 13 June 2009) and the 032c Museum Store, Berlin (11 September – 29 October 2009). Slavs and Tatars is an art collective and 'a faction of polemics and intimacies devoted to an area east of the former Berlin Wall and west of the Great Wall of China known as Eurasia'. The group addresses a shared sphere of influence between Slavs, Caucasians and Central Asians. Kidnapping Mountains is a playful and informative exploration of the muscular stories, wills, and defeat inhabiting the Caucasus region. The book is comprised of two parts: an eponymous section addressing the complexity of languages and identities on the fault line of Eurasia, and Steppe by Steppe Romantics, a restoration of the region’s seemingly reactionary approaches to romance. This book acts as a further, more discursive repository of brutal ideas and romantic polemics (and vice versa) as examined in the exhibition.
