The exhibition, 'Meret Oppenheim meets Man Ray,’ presents the works of two artists of great influence on 20th century art. Meret Oppenheim (1913 Berlin –1985 Basel) and Man Ray (1890 Philadelphia –1976 Paris) met in 1933 at the centre of art life, in Paris.

One ego of Dóra Maurer is playful, witty and womanlike, while her other ego is decisive, exact and well-organized. It is largely owing to her activities that exhibitions of concrete, systematic and serial art were presented in Hungary from the 70s.

“Military camouflage – imitated nature. Its markings are the various shades of our climate and vegetation, from yellow through to brown. The forms – as is the nature of camouflage – imitate foliage, leaves, the shadows cast by the leaves, or the traces of sunlight filtering through the foliage.

The exhibition "Embodied Logos" featuring 14 German women artists, will open on April 18th, and it will provide the opportunity for a series of events organised around the theme of women in society and in the arts.

This exhibition was selected as a Circulating Exhibition and is not designed as a history of constructed photography in Britain.
