Performing in the space of Filliou’s reconstructed Poipoidrom, Jean-Jacques Lebel (one of the first European happeningers), informs the audience of the installations history to music performed by a live Roma band. (Many foreign curators and art collectors were present in the audience, as they were enjoying a short visit to Budapest). Lebel pointed to the freedom of art and the ineffectiveness of museums (the installation was kept in storage in a museum between 1976 and 1998 without being displayed on a single occasion). Lebel drew attention to the ability of the Galántai-Klaniczay partnership “to make things happen,” and he also expressed his deep appreciation of the underground era of Artpool.
