Artist Archives of the Future

Within the framework of the collaboration “Artist Archives of the Future”, the Andrzej Partum Archive (managed by Muzeum Sztuki) and Artpool staff are conducting comparative research in one another’s respective archives.

The Andrzej Partum Archive (1938 - 2002), named after a prominent artist and theorist of the Polish neo-avantgarde, represents the art network of the 1970s and 1980s. Similarly to – and in part overlapping with – Artpool, it has a significant collection of mail art, including works by several Hungarian artists (e.g. Sándor Pinczehelyi, László Beke, Gábor Attalai, György Galántai, Gábor Tóth and Dóra Maurer).

The outcome of this collaboration will be on view for the general public in November 2024, at the Platán Gallery in Budapest.

• A preparatory step of the cooperation: an exciting selection of Hungarian Mail art from the Archives of Andrzej Partum is on display in Łódź.
