RADICAL ART IN HUNGARY 1975-80, 19 INTERVIEWS
The series of interviews titled Radical Art in Hungary documents the critique of power, the creative outlook and the circumstances of nineteen important young Hungarian artists of the period indicated, i.e. "nearly twenty". The videos were made between 2009 and 2011, and the transcripts in 2013, and although there have been changes in the art historical processing of the period in the almost decade and a half that have passed since then, the texts have not lost any of their relevance to this day.

MIKLÓS ERDÉLY-MONOGRAPHY
To date, no comprehensive monograph has been published on Miklós Erdély's oeuvre, which is rich in works and genres. This book is the result of fifteen years of research by Péter Kőhalmi. We are proud that we, along with the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, were able to support the creation of this extremely important publication.
"Miklós Erdély's oeuvre goes beyond the web of art historical contexts: he can be placed in a much broader space, in the context of universal culture. Nevertheless, in the thirty-six years since his death, although there have been major efforts to interpret his oeuvre, there has been no comprehensive work on it as a whole. While writing about him, therefore, I cannot avoid the question: why, after all, did this happen? The answer to this question is very simple: it is probably Miklós Erdély himself who is "to blame". Miklós Erdély, with his constantly renewing, bewilderingly diverse oeuvre, and the fact that it is not enough to look at his works in order to become familiar with his oeuvre, but only by getting closer to his thoughts can we see them together. Erdély was as much a thinker as an artist."
-Péter Kőhalmi

NEO-AVANT-GARDE TRENDS
IN HUNGARIAN ART PHOTOGRAPHY
1965-1984
In 2018 a book by Sándor Szilágyi, Neo-avant-garde Trends in Hungarian Art Photography, 1965-1984 was published with the support of Art+Text Budapest.
The book, like its Hungarian version published in 2007, presents some 400 works of art by 32 Hungarian artists of the 1960s, 1970s and the early 1980s. It undertakes to collect the greatest photographers of this vibrant and fruitful era from Géza Perneczky to Tibor Hajas and János Vető. Among the presented artists we can find photographers who refused the anachronistic aesthetics of the official photography, and artists who used the camera accepting the conceptual approach of the period.

CSABA KONCZ - THE ORGANIC ABSTRACT
The most mature abstract artist in Hungarian photography was not a photographer by profession, but a gifted, multi-talented hippy, Csaba Koncz (born in 1938). Koncz was at least as interested in film, music, poetry, and eastern philosophy as he was in photography. Despite this - or precisely because of it - he produced the most fascinating works in the abstract vein of his photographic oeuvre in a period of just five years.
