\u201eaktuelle kunst in osteuropa\u201d – Klaus Groh and the Artpool<\/span><\/h1>\n

April 23 \u2013 May 8, 2015<\/h2>\n
\n

First part of the exhibition is the visual presentation of the book \u201eaktuelle kunst in osteuropa\u201d published in 1972 (DuMont, Cologne) by the well known West-German mail artist, editor and collector Klaus Groh (1936). Also at the exhibition: reviews and articles, reception-history, etc.<\/p>\n

Second part of the exhibition presents works and documents from in the Artpool Archives and shows Artpool’s more then 40 years long cooperation with Klaus Groh: video documents from 1989 and 2007, original letters from Gal\u00e1ntai and Groh, works by Groh made for several Artpool projects and the audio cassette collection of Klaus Groh (donated to Artpool in 2007).<\/p>\n

The groundbreaking book by Klaus Groh, published in 1972 was a very important contribution to familiarizing Western Europe with Eastern-European, primarily conceptual art and land art, body art, action, etc. In this frequently cited publication, which eventually included works by 78 artists from Eastern Europe, there are works from the following Hungarian artists: G\u00e1bor Attalai, Imre Bak, Mikl\u00f3s Erd\u00e9ly, Tibor G\u00e1yor, Gy\u00f6rgy Jov\u00e1novics, Gyula Konkoly, L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Lakner, J\u00e1nos Major, D\u00f3ra Maurer, L\u00e1szl\u00f3 M\u00e9hes, Gyula Pauer, Attila P\u00e1lfalusi, G\u00e9za Perneczky, Tam\u00e1s Szentj\u00f3by, Endre T\u00f3t. Among contributors from the neighbouring countries are Stano Filko, Milan Grygar, Ji\u0159\u00ed Kocman, Stanislav Kolibal, Julius Koller, Alex Mlyn\u00e1r\u0107ik, Ladislav Nov\u00e1k, Rudolf Sikora, Pertr \u0160tembera, Ji\u0159\u00ed Valoch from Czechoslovakia; Janez Kocijan\u010di\u0107, Bogdanka Poznanovi\u0107, Miroljub Todorovi\u0107 from Yugoslavia.<\/p>\n

Klaus Groh has developed from 1969 an important art network growing and effective for decades and mainly active in the field of mail art. The little IAC (International Artists’ Cooperation) publications edited \/ published \/ produced by him, the exhibitions at the art spaces operated by him (Micro Hall Art Center or Literaturium) as well as his continuous participation in international mail art, visual and sound poetry projects made Groh a significant hub of the correspondence art network in Germany.<\/p>\n

At the exhibition in Artpool P60 \u2013 along the mail art, conceptual works and letters sent to each other \u2013 we can have an insight into the decades long relationship of Klaus Groh and Gy\u00f6rgy Gal\u00e1ntai \/ Artpool, who had similar activities and played a similar role in Hungary.<\/p>\n
