Past exhibitions

The exhibition builds a bridge between contemporary art and the artistic tools of 30,000 years. Through a selection from the archeological finds of the Carpathian Basin and from the cultural and historical artefacts representing the rise of citizenship, the show will present the evolution of the role of hunting.

The exhibition highlights the exploitative practices that have led to the current global environmental, economic and social problems. The works displayed present several possible solutions, from waste-free household management through voluntary simplicity to the concept of an economy without growth.

The exhibition invites the viewer to an adventure that highlights the richness of Hungarian film history and the nature of film art that connects time, space and cultures, and through the material presented it seeks to initiate a dialogue.

The aim of the exhibition is to highlight the environmental impacts and exploitative practices that have led to the current global environmental, economic and social problems. Our other main objective is to provide a broader platform for artistic positions thatemphasize sustainability and offer alternative lifestyles.

The exhibition Spatial Affairs aims to investigate the relation and interdependence of physical and digital presence via Modern, Conceptual and Contemporary works of art and manifestos.

The Hungarian Cultural Institute Brussels presents to its public the artistic aspirations of the Hungarian neo-avant-garde of the sixties and seventies through the works of the Vojvodina based Bosch + Bosch group. The exhibition, which opens online on November 19, will be followed by a number of discussions, performances, a series of lectures and screenings related to the topic.

The exhibition Hidden Patterns aims to present the last 20 years of research based on the so-called Barabási networks mainly related to the activity of physicist and network researcher Albert-László Barabási.

Keeping the Balance is a temporary exhibition presenting about sixty works from the Art Collection Telekom. Most of the works are by artists of Eastern European roots.

The aim of the exhibition is to highlight the environmental impacts and exploitative practices that have led to the current global environmental, economic and social problems. Our other main objective is to provide a broader platform for artistic positions, which emphasize sustainability and offer alternative lifestyles.

How will the at once dematerialized and delocalized dynamics of power structures be impacted in both their evident economic and inevitably political manifestations if the network is disconnected? But also, what can still be said or done in the meantime? How does one occupy—or not— what is essentially borrowed time and space, a space-time henceforth to be shared between digital and physical realities.

The exhibition will present a selection of works from the Peter and Irene Ludwig collection that demonstrate the movement’s diversity for the very first time in Europe: the spectrum of artistic forms ranges from mosaics influenced by oriental art, monumental textile collages, paintings, and graphic works through to room-sized installations and video performances.

The exhibition Techniques of Evasion presents a selection from the collection of the Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art based on the works of Hungarian artists of the 1960s and '70s. The display focuses on the artistic positions that were not only pushing at the conventional aesthetic boundaries, but also queried the social and political establishment of the authoritarian state.

Members of the Bosch+Bosch group pursued diversified artistic – and partly literary – activities on the boundaries between different branches and genres of art, with the endeavour of expanding these both linguistically and conceptually.

The exhibition of Tamás Király (1952–2013) is the first large-scale, retrospective presentation of an artist in Hungary whose activity cannot be classified into traditional genres and trends. Obviously, his work is mainly related to dressing and fashion, but in his perception, clothing is a border area where fashion, film, theatre, performance and art meet. His clothes are at once costumes, mobile sculptures, futuristic transformations, and the future-looking creations of an artist ahead of his own age.
