One of the most unknown-known Hungarian artists is Tamás St. Auby (ps. of Tamás Szentjóby, born in 1944) being a non-artist, poet and performer, both inside and outside of the arts. He founded IPUT / ‘International Parallel Union of Telecommunications’ in 1968. Its central idea: “The art is hokum. The history is hokum. Art is everything, what not allowed. Be not allowed!” He had to leave Hungry in 1975, and he came back not earlier than in 1991.

When I met Tamás St. Auby for the first time in his studio in 2004, I was quite impressed by his for me scary shamanistic dominance in his social interaction. Yet his presence was deeply lived through and sensitive. His attitude was not one of being an artist in the first place but more one of a teacher of an academy in Budapest. At once it was clear to me that I wanted to invite him to participate in ‘Freedom Borders’, a group exhibition with Hungarian artists I curated in Galerie van Gelder, Amsterdam in 2004. The other two artists were Szabolcs KissPàl and visual poet and writer Dezsö Tandori.

mail 15 May 2013 at 13:44 hours about announcement of Tamás St. Auby’s exhibition at Museum Ludwig, Budapest, Hungary

By mail Eric Andersen gave a comment on an announcement of Hungarian artist Tamás St. Auby’s call to occupy “Rosa Fluxemburg Platz” on behalf of his exhibition in Museum Ludwig in Budapest: ‘Great occupation, but very few plants’. The chosen font of the lettering in red is typical for Andersen and may be found on badges he made with various texts.

The works of David Horvitz relate often to notions of nature such as the ocean, the sea, beach, rain or sky. Not seldom his text works call to action suggesting that mankind is loosing contact with nature. A touch of nostalgia is never far away.

KRISTJÁN GUDMUNDSSON, Equal-time lines, invitation In-Out Centre [1974]

KRISTJÁN GUDMUNDSSON, Equal-time lines, n.d. [1974]
29,7 x 21 cm
printed invitation, mini sticker
handwritten address by the artist
published by IN-OUT Centre, Amsterdam
rare, partly unique
€ 280,- + € 12,- Track & Trace registered EU mail
inv.KG 47

In-OUT Centre was an artist’s run space. Each artist took care of his or her own printing and mailing. The copy of this invitation is handwritten by Kristján Gudmundsson who originally planned to have it sent to his home address apparently, but for some reason it was never posted.

In a forensic sense this announcement is indirectly signed and dated through addressee written by Kristján and a stamp about the anniversary of the BENELUX (1944-1974) that has been put on to it.
