Gyorgy Galantai and Julia Klaniczay, are the founders of
Artpool Art Research Center, an archive, research space, specialist and media
library in Budapest, Hungary, dedicated to international contemporary and
avant-garde arts, such as Artist's books, artistamp, mail art, visual poetry,
sound poetry, conceptual art, fluxus, installation and performance art.
It
was founded in 1979 based on the "Active Archive" conception as a center for the type
of avant-garde art that was marginalized by the state-socialist establishment. The "Active Archive
does not only collect material already existing 'out there', but the way it
operates also generates the very material to be archived".
The
public archive and library contain unique documents of international and
Hungarian avant-garde art and subculture from the 1960s on, such as
"correspondence, notes, plans, ideas, interviews, writings, works of art,
photo documents, catalogs, invitation cards, bibliographies, chronologies,
diagrams, video and sound documents, CD-Roms, etc." Artpool in addition to
running its own research projects receives ca. 100 local and foreign
researchers, university students, interns, and volunteers yearly. It
participates in conferences and in international research groups.
