Taking as its point of departure the modus operandi of European 
cooperatives, the research and exhibition project of international 
collaboration explores the potentials and pitfalls of collective 
production. On the one hand, the title of the show refers to one of the 
significant incentives during the years of democratic transition: the 
promise of the big deal. On the other hand, it reflects on the original 
mission of collectives, which centred precisely on the ideals of 
community and sustainability as opposed to individual accumulation of 
wealth.

The exhibitions on the two locations (Institute of Contemporary Art -- 
Dunaujvaros and Trafo Gallery -- Budapest) present the research and 
personal reflections of Hungary-based contemporary artists. In Trafo, 
Gabor Gerhes presents the products of a still active cooperative of flag 
makers and embroiderers, made on order for art collectors. Sandor Bodo 
plunged into a research of personal significance, revisiting three 
cooperatives that had a role in his own life. Krisztina Erdei's photos 
record these from a subjective point of view. Judit Fisher, Miklos Mecs 
and Csaba Vandor set out to found their own cooperative for the 
exhibition. However, the preparations have led them to realize that 
founding a church, likewise based on the devotion and voluntary 
cooperation of the members, seems to be a more feasible objective.
