How could an arts initiative, called Artpool, 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? How has it been able to validly speak out and address issues and people again and again in the 'storms' of history and scientific-technological progress, for more than four decades now? Using authentic documents, numerous photographs and illustrations Artpool's chronological volume containing a brief presentation of events and exhibitions, a detailed bibliography and references follows the history of the Artpool art project - launched more than forty years ago by fine artist György Galántai and later jointly realized with Júlia Klaniczay - from the exhibitions of the Chapel Studio active in Balatonboglár between 1970 and 1973, through the establishment of the Artpool archive in 1979 to the opening of the Artpool Art Research Center in Budapest in 1992 and its becoming an esteemed research facility by the 2010s
