Igor Zabel took a critical view of “dialogue” as a form. Even though in his activities as a curator, art historian, critic, and writer he always promoted a critical exchange between “East” and “West”, one of his best known articles, entitled Dialogue, provides an analysis of the challenges posed by the problems of translation which to this day inevitably accompany such debates in a Europe that is in a state of transformation.
