Endre Tót's Memorial Sign Budapest

On the pavement

Kálmán from Budapest

""Endre Tót's Memorial Sign" in Budapest, as an example of the underground '70s experimental art here, simply says 'I am happy that I could stand here'."

Endre Tót is a Hungarian neo-avantgarde artist currently living in Cologne. Back in the 70s, he was one of the iconic figures of underground Hungarian experimental art, with numerous ties to the international Fluxus and mail art movements. One of the recurring themes of many of his public space performances and artworks is the phrase "I am happy if I can..."

Appropriately, this memorial sign placed in 1998 says "I am happy that I could stand here." It's set into the pavement right in front of the grey steel door of P60 Gallery, the exhibition space of Hungary's greatest Fluxus art collection. To find it, walk down Liszt Ferenc tér and take a right turn into Paulay Ede utca - the sign will be in front of you past the restaurant on the corner.

Another sign with a similar text, only in German, can be found in Tót's chosen residence of Cologne, on the rooftop of the Museum Ludwig, which you can also read about on the Cologne Spotted by by Locals cityblog!

I like hearing stories and telling stories: they're edifices built of facts (or falsehoods, or falsehoods that are truer than facts, as the case might be), but they tell us everything that facts alone never could. About Budapest Because it's old and full of memories, and because it's young and alive and constantly growing and changin...
