ARTPOOL - The Experimental Art Archive of East-Central Europe
(History of an active archive for producing, networking, curating, and  
researching art since 1970)
Edited by György Galántai and Julia Klaniczay
Foreword by Kristine Stiles
Artpool - Budapest, 2013
21 x 29.7 cm, 536 pages, with approx 1500 illustratons, index of  
names, softcover,
English, printed in 500 numbered copies

Using authentic documents, numerous photographs and illustrations,  
Artpool’s chronological volume containing a brief presentation of  
events and exhibitions, a detailed bibliography and references,  
follows the history of the Artpool art project – launched more than  
forty years ago by fine artist György Galántai and later jointly  
realized with Júlia Klaniczay – from the exhibitions of the Chapel  
Studio active in Balatonboglár between 1970 and 1973, through the  
establishment of the Artpool archive in 1979 to the opening of the  
Artpool Art Research Center in Budapest in 1992 and its becoming an  
esteemed research facility by the 2010s.

"The occasion of the publication of ARTPOOL The Experimental Art  
Archive of East-Central Europe is a milestone in the history of art  
for its documentation of a remarkable period in the chronicles of  
conceptual, performance, installation, and video art, as well  
ephemeral mediums such as mail art and artists’ stamp sheets,  
postcards, rubber stamp imprints, artists’ writings and samizdat  
publications. The work represented in the Artpool archive is  
astonishing in its scope and quantity, quality of imagination,  
intellectual force, and the courage of the artists who created it.  
This volume presents an opportunity to reflect on the events that  
brought Artpool into being, to acknowledge that while originating in  
the context of East-Central Europe, Artpool’s community has always  
been international, and to evaluate its broad contributions to world  
culture and society." (Kristine Stiles)
