Budapest's alternative scene

Abstract (DE)

The fine art scene in Budapest bears the ever present marks of history as much as the undeniable Western influence that infiltrated after the political turnabout twenty years ago. The frequent changes in cultural policies make it difficult for the scene to achieve a continuous, straight forward development. While in the early Nineties the alternative fine art scene seemed to have found a ground, today's independent art world in Budapest is in hesitant conditions. In order to fully understand the current situation, and to build a strategy to overcome the present hindering factors, it is inevitable to study the evolution of the scene in detail.
