I will discuss the writing of history as a possible-impossible endeavor, as a selective\/evaluative process that resembles the task of the curator. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, I present the project <em>Timeline of Socialist and Post-Socialist Art<\/em> as an example in which the task of the historian is almost identical to that of the curator. The political-artistic Timeline of body art practices in former Socialist countries, realized in collaboration with several art curators, is a curatorial practice in writing which not only tells a story of representational practices in a specific context but also a temporary space in which history comes forward as representation. <\/p>\n<p><em>Angela Harutyunyan<\/em> <\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scca-ljubljana.si\/arhiv\/img\/portreti100\/angela-harutyunyan.jpg\" alt=\"Angela Harutyunyan\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" align=\"left\"><strong>Angela Harutyunyan<\/strong> is a PhD candidate in Art History and Visual Studies at the University of Manchester.
