Randomroutines, the Budapest-based artistic duo of Tamás Kaszás and Krisztián Kristóf, have been active on the art scene since 2003. Their collaborative work, diverse in both media and themes, is united by material experiments, a punk ethic, and an interest in humanity and human labor. Although they have developed a recognizable style in the form of spatial drawings made from welded rebar rods, they continue to seek other, programmatically random means. As artists from post-Soviet Central Europe, they are exposed to the re-evaluation of the history of building socialism and the ongoing transformation. Their specific experience built on the ruins of communism allows them to work with the aesthetics of socialist realism as a comic strip, retelling or even completing the history of the labor movement. The bright future is over, replaced by apocalypse, entropy, and a return to the fist axe.
