Artpool Sound and Video Archive

Artpool Art Research Center collects, archives, and makes available documents for researchers regarding marginalized art practices of Hungary in the 1970s and 1980s and contemporary international art tendencies. Topics in the archive include progressive, unofficial Hungarian art movements (such as underground art events, venues, groups, and samizdat publications between 1970 and 1990) and new tendencies in international art beginning in the 1960s.
In addition to functioning as a research center, Artpool considers itself an active archive. It organizes events in search of new forms of social activity, participates in the process in a formative way, and simultaneously documents and archives these process in order to promote the free flow of information.

Artpool艺术研究中心致力于收集、整理并向研究人员提供有关20世纪70年代至80年代匈牙利边缘艺术实践以及当代国际艺术趋势的文献资料。档案中涵盖的主题包括进步的、非官方的匈牙利艺术运动（如1970年至1990年间的地下艺术活动、场所、团体及自印出版物），以及始于20世纪60年代的国际艺术新趋势。除了作为研究机构，Artpool还自视为一个活跃的档案馆。它组织各类活动以探索新的社会活动形式，以形成性的方式参与其中，并在同时对这些过程进行记录和归档，以促进信息的自由流通。
