TAKAKO SAITO, hand out by Takako on 14 July in Wiesbaden, 2022
ca 14 x 15 x 7 cm
plastic cup with text “On on On on”, felt pen ink, bean, colour print, cellophane bag
This object in cellophane bag was part of a performance in Nassauischer Kunstverein, Wiesbaden (Germany). Every ten years a Fluxus Anniversary is organised. ‘Takako’s performance consisted of her digging up all kinds of objects from a bag and throwing them one by one to the audience. Each object had one or more words on it. The people who caught the objects had to read aloud what was written on it. Completely different words, meaning didn’t matter, they were fantasy words to me. It did work comically, especially when she threw a lot of things in quick succession.’

TAMÁS ST.AUBY, SUBSIST.ENCE LEVEL ST.ANDARD Project 1984, 2013

inv.DTan 000
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.
