It was fifty years ago that the paradigmatic exhibitions Iparterv I (1968) and Iparterv II (1969) took place. Apropos of the anniversary, Ludwig Museum organizes a conference entitled In Pursuit of the Iparterv-phenomenon and round-table talks.
The aim of the closing event of the Iparterv 50+ program series is to evoke the various registers of the social-political reality characterizing the ‘60s and ‘70s, the contemporaneous scene surrounding the Iparterv exhibitions, their art-historical antecedents and their impact on subsequent generations, with the contribution of art historians and experts working on processing the art-historical event. At the roundtable discussion with artists, we look back at the past, recalling the facts and myths of these events.
It is our intention, from the perspective of half a century, to compare the perspectives of personal and collective memory and to put this inevitable art historical concept into a broader context.

The group exhibition IPARTERV 50+ presents a selection from the latest (or, in case of concluded oeuvres, the last) works of the artists who were represented at the Iparterv exhibitions of 1968 and 1969. Additionally, the exhibition features works by contemporary artists reflecting on specific works by Iparterv-artists or the Hungarian neo-avant-garde in general.
