<div><font face="Verdana" size="+1" color="#000000">How could an arts
initiative, called<b> Artpool</b>, in the 1970s, in a small corner of
the world, in East-Central Europe, become a significant node, a
reference point in a worldwide - initially analogue (postal) then
digital (online) - network?</font></div>

<div><font face="Verdana" size="+1" color="#000000">"The occasion
of the publication of ARTPOOL The Experimental Art Archive of
East-Central Europe is a milestone in the history of art for its
documentation of a remarkable period in the chronicles of conceptual,
performance, installation, and video art, as well ephemeral mediums
such as mail art and artists' stamp sheets, postcards, rubber stamp
imprints, artists' writings and samizdat publications. The work
represented in the Artpool archive is astonishing in its scope and
quantity, quality of imagination, intellectual force, and the courage
of the artists who created it. This volume presents an opportunity to
reflect on the events that brought Artpool into being, to acknowledge
that while originating in the context of East-Central Europe,
Artpool's community has always been international, and to evaluate its
broad contributions to world culture and society." (Kristine
Stiles)</font></div>
