Art Always Has Its Consequences
Artists' Texts from Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Serbia, 1947-2009
Why do artists write texts? When and why this genre was developed and what significance it gained in Easter-Europe in the last sixty years?
Talk (in Hungarian) about the publication with artist Róza El-Hassan and art historian Sándor Hornyik.
Moderator: Zsuzsa László, art theorist, one of editors.
After the talk the text of Tibor Hajas' action reading "Freedom Industry Broadcast, Channel 4" is presented. The poem which is contained in the anthology was originally read by Tibor Hajas on 21 July 1973, in Balatonboglár, in György Galántai's Chapel Studio.
The reader, published by Stenberg Press, is a collection of manifestos, critical texts, and writings addressing public issues written by artists and artist groups from Eastern Europe between 1947 and 2009. The publication is result of an international curatorial research collaboration of four organizations: What, How and for Whom/WHW, Croatia; New Media Center_kuda.org, Serbia; Museum Sztuki in Łódź; and tranzit. hu.
