Inconnu Independent Art Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inconnu Independent Art Group is the name of a Hungarian group of maverick fine artists in the communist and postcommunist era. Original and founder members are Bokros Péter, Molnár Tamás, Philipp Tibor, Pálinkás Róbert. The foundation date of the group is unknown. As Péter Bokros remembers (in 2005); they started their common activities in 1978, Cegléd, but their name wasn't "inconnu" then.
They took part in (often illegal) exhibitions and performances in the eighties; and were considered as an important part of the Hungarian democratic opposition both in Hungary and in abroad. From 1979 they were subject to serious manhunt by the Hungarian authorities, and they were continuously followed and eyed by secret agents ([1]). After 1994 some members became active again and continued – with their words – their „anti-communist” drive, now against the (postcommunist-socialist) governments (lead by Hungarian Socialist Party, MSzP). You can see some famous old pictures of them here and here, and some new one here Their Webpage here is still under construction.
