The author could not persuade the surfer to go on any gallery visits this summer. By the end of June, all she has managed to do was to get her to send a postcard from the training camp of Pest: these days, only the suddenly numerous beer gardens can keep the sportswoman in motion. The house squatting underground design of the laidback alcoholic divisions that have appeared in unused tenement buildings \u2013 in other words, the natural condition of the ghettos, the rotting plaster, the slight musty smell and the thrown-out furniture \u2013 are all necessary essentials of pub art.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

From a historical standpoint, according to the author\u2019s almost useless memory, in past years the P\u00f3tkulcs<\/i> was the first place where this microclimate was provided for the introduction of more progressive art, such as the work of the Dutch Kamiel Vershuren.<\/i> In addition, young people have been getting their education from Master Saso\u2019s sometimes, indeed, brilliant, slightly fantasy-like wall and table paintings in the basement of S\u00fcss Fel Nap<\/i> for years. Then, two years ago, Szimpla kert<\/i>, the first beer garden located in the courtyard of a tenement building, offered an opportunity for pub art to establish itself. In addition to wall paintings, the stickers of the then-touring Dutch Flu<\/i> virus, which signified the beginnings of the genre of sticker art in the Hungarian art scene. Last year, the surfer\u2019s sibling, too, hid a few plaster buttons in the lavatories of some of the gardens\u2026 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The present situation is positively encouraging, moving decidedly away from the absence of stimulus. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Mumus<\/i> garden refers to its space of a few rooms with a street view as its gallery, where veteran street artists (1000%,Merev \u00e9s Torz<\/i>, stb.) have created their own sanctuary.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The visitor is presented with on-screen stencil montages <\/b><\/a>, that incorporate motifs already familiar from the streets (a male head breaking apart as a result of magnification, silly 50s illustrations, etc.). The rotting, grey\/black\/bronze colouring brilliantly match this mould-logic based genre.\r\nThe evolutionary line starting off with the portrait of a fat baby and continuing with older, unfriendly figures painted on refuse materials in a brownish tone is a similarly excellent series.<\/b><\/a>\r\nThe incorporation of coloured graphical paintings<\/b><\/a>, found litter and photo documentation from earlier ventures into a single wall<\/b><\/a> reminds the surfer of the works of San Francisco artists, Barry McGee<\/i> who his image masses \u2013 built from bitterishly sick oil miniatures, direct amateur action photos and found street advertisements \u2013 got as far as the MoMA<\/i>.\r\nThe surfer proposes to the author that, based on the myriad of common traits, it would be worth calling this style, something like \u2018hip hopism.\u2019 The political, anti-Bush\/anti-war photocopy montage \u2013 whose creator would no doubt be patted on the shoulder by B\u00e1lint Endre<\/i> \u2013 also stands in support of internationality. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

And although the surfer would not have included the Pollockian wall splatter and other scavenged, painted objects in the d\u00e9cor, she feels this material of organic rubbish-aesthetics to be positively strong and convincing. The fact that the wall of M\u0171csarnok<\/i> coffee shop was recently covered in the works of the sticker guys<\/b><\/a> shows the degree to which their trajectory resembles that of Barry McGee and the extent that the laidback guerrilla attitude has become institutionalised. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

A street away from Mumus, Tetthely<\/i> also proudly sports a few classic street fighter masterpieces: a Derrick fresco by Nikon<\/i> and other first class graffiti<\/b> [I.<\/a>, II.<\/a>]<\/b>\r\nwhich brings the ambiance of the Filatori g\u00e1t suburban train (H\u00c9V) stop to the sixth district. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Catering hip hop \u2013 more ice cubes in the wine spritzer please!<\/b><\/p>\r\n
