ARTMargins Online Interviews Explore Sport and Neo-Avant-Garde Connections

ARTMargins Online published an interview in February 2017, conducted by Katalin Cseh-Varga and Kristóf Nagy, focusing on the intersection of sports and art. The conversation featured Przemysław Strożek, who discussed the 1934 World Cup, politics, and art. Cseh-Varga and Nagy initiated their research in January 2016, examining the relationship between sport and neo-avant-garde movements. Their work centered on Hungarian painter László Lakner's Foot Art project from 1970, which later evolved into an exhibition-action draft by art organizer László Beke for documenta 5 in 1972. In June 2016, the European Network for Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies organized two conference sessions on Avant-Garde and Sport, where Cseh-Varga became familiar with Strożek's research. The interview delved into historical and artistic contexts, highlighting specific projects and academic collaborations without adding external commentary.
