She looks first at the mobilisation of the network, from 1964 to 1972, exploring five pioneering cases: a friendship between a Slovak artist and a French critic, an artistic credo, an exhibition, a conceptual proposition, and a book. She then charts a series of way stations for experimental art from the Soviet bloc between 1972 and 1976 - points of distribution between studios, private homes, galleries, and certain cities. Finally, she investigates convergences - a succession of shared exhibitions and events in the second half of the 1970s in locations ranging from Prague to Milan to Moscow.

Cahan investigates the strategies African American artists and museum professionals employed as they wrangled over access to and the direction of New York City's elite museums.
