Judit Bodor: ARTPOOL Art Research Center 
Skuc Gallery, Stari trg 21, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Wednesday, 4th June at 8 pm 
 
The multimedia presentation will be about the history of Artpool (1979-
2003) from the period of its illegal existence till the current 
activities of Artpool Art Research Center, focusing on its yearly 
projects. During the lecture the structure of the website and the 
videodocumentation of some interesting events organized by Artpool with 
the participation of some internationally well known artists (Ben 
Vautier, Jonas Mekas, Jean Jacques Lebel, Bernard Heidsieck etc.) will 
be shown.

Judit Bodor is an art historian currently working on enlarging the 
archives databases and on documenting Artpool's projects: 
>>I am particularly interested in how smaller art organisations are 
operating in the field of contemporary art. The Artpool is the best 
place for that. Working there, means that I can have the possibility to 
live in the past, present and future as well. This is a live 
organisation with the artistic aim to ask questions about the future of 
ART/CULTURE on the basis of the past and make it visible in the 
present.<<

the current research being done at Artpool, practical training for
