The group was established when the former bans, prohibitions, and various obstacles used by the socialist regime had already begun to slacken, and they disbanded once the multiparty system had consolidated. They began as an underground formation and ended as an officially accepted group. Their uniqueness lies precisely in this paradoxical trajectory of their career.<\/p>\n<p>The group gained official recognition at a time when official culture was disintegrating, and \u2013 characteristically \u2013 they brought their activity to an end when a new status quo had emerged and a new power had consolidated. They became conformists at a time when political-artistic conformity was temporarily impeded in Hungary. Thus, their conformism is of an entirely different nature than that of Mih\u00e1ly Munk\u00e1csy after the Astro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 or Pablo Picasso after World War II. The career of the Substitute Thirsters accurately mirrors the disintegration of an old regime and the rise of a new one. Its work therefore merits special attention.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;32&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;14515&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"kepalairas_nev_jobb\">Substitute Thirsters<\/p>\n<p class=\"kepalairas_cim_jobb\"><em>S.

With <em>Plato\u2019s Cave<\/em>, they literally moved underground into an air-raid shelter, only to burst onto the art world by smuggling <em>The Condemned Cell<\/em> into the \u201cannual exhibition\u201d of the Studio of Young Artists, which opened in December 1986 in the Budapest History Museum.<\/p>\n<p>This Munk\u00e1csy paraphrase denotes the end of the Budburst period. Its continuation, a muster of works by the group made within an institutional framework, will be on view at the Ludwig Museum as part of the exhibition <em>Sparse Alkali Flats<\/em>, opening in July. These two exhibitions are the most comprehensive surveys to date on the career of the Substitute Thirsters.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;32&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;14516&#8243;
