14. István Eörsi, a writer, read some of his works at the Young Artists' Club, Budapest 19 January, 1983. His reading was called “Ürügyeim” (My Excuses) with old and new - yet unpublished - poems on three themes - socio-politics, death and love. AL presents some of them along with the introduction of Eörsi and his comments on the events in the history of Hungary in the last 30 years.

12. Review of the anthology of poetry and art “Feketében” (In Black) published with charity funds.

28. Excerpts from the catalogue introduction by Éva Forgács of the exhibition of József Jakovits (born 1909), sculptor now living in New York. (27 January - 6 March, 1983. National Gallery, Budapest)
29. Between 1945 and 1948 Jakovits was a member of the important Hungarian group of artists of the period, Európai Iskola (European School). He had his first solo exhibition in Budapest now at the age of 73. The article by “X” outlines how his life was full of ups and downs, how Hungarian cultural policy pushed Jakovits to emigrate to the US in 1965, and how again he became a proper Hungarian artist in 1983 while in previous years no article had been published on him.
35. Interview of G. Galántai with László Beke, art critic on the occasion of the exhibition of János Vető and Lóránd Méhes (Zuzu), about the Hungarian art scene, the fame of the two painters, and the new style they represent.
39. Interview of G. Galántai with János Vető about why Vető began painting after taking photos, why he uses uncommon materials,(copper sulphate and sulphur powder); on his ideational background, on the determining effect of his friends-and-masters (Tamás Szentjóby, living in Geneva since 1975, János Baksa-Soós, living in West-Germany since 1974, and Tibor Hajas, who died in 1980), on music and the pop group Trabant he plays in. Vető is 30 and his overwhelming vitality, optimism and energetic work represents a new attitude to art and at the same time explains its place in contemporary Hungarian art.
49. Illuminated Armchairs Fly across the Universe
