In memoriam Pina Bausch

October 9 | 18.00
Goethe Institute & Café Eckermann

Pina Bausch [exhibition] German choreographer Pina Bausch became a legend in her lifetime. Her gaunt figure is just as unforgettable as her deeply personal, strictly structured choreographies: Gesamtkunstwerk creations in which the dancers spoke, sang and stripped of their personalities, became creative elements in a unique personal vision. The grande dame of modern dance died on June 30 this year, at the age of 68. Bausch, who had many ties to Hungary – she created her first choreography to music by Bartók – spent a longer period here in 1999, and her experiences inspired Wiesenland, created through a rehearsal process in the Trafó and first performed in May 2000 in Budapest’s Vígszínház. The exhibition commemorating the memory of Pina Bausch presents a selection of photographs taken on that occasion.

Organised by the Goethe Institute.

The exhibition is opened weekdays between 9 am and 7 pm from October 9 to 30.

The utopian idea that questioned the decorative function of design and placed it in the service of social and political goals first appeared in the modernist movements of the early 20th century. Then antidesign appeared in the 1960s and 1970s: growing numbers turned to amateur, home-made solutions as an expression of a critical attitude and the underground spirit. From typographical utopias to typewritten texts representing rebellion against professionalism, the exhibition titled Typopass gives a broad survey of the “art” of typographic design that so shapes our everyday lives yet we rarely pause to think about it.

The exhibition is opened from October 14 to November 15, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 am to 7 pm. The gallery is closed on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Organised by tranzit.hu and Dorottya Gallery.

Exhibition of textile art by Line Kramhøft [DK]

The source of inspiration for Line Kramhøft’s exhibition is human skin. Using blown-up photographs, the Danish textile artist reproduced details of different skin surfaces on large, three-dimensional, specially lit textile images. “The aim is to bring the material to life, so that it breathes and tells a story. The lighting above the images moves, constantly changing the focus. The borderline between skin and textile is questioned and the experience gives the viewer the urge to touch and feel”, writes the artist, who won the international textile Best Design Award in 2004.

Organised by Makett Labor.

The exhibition is opened weekdays between 12 am and 6 am from October 14 to November 6. In case of pre-registration the exhibition is opened weekends too [+36 70 368 5174].

Revolutionary Decadence

October 15 | 18.00
Museum Kiscell – Municipal Picture Gallery

Curators >
Maja Fowkes | Reuben Fowkes

Many things concerning the change of political system are uncertain. Not only how one interprets it, but when it happened – in 1989 or 1990 – and even whether it happened at all. Maja and Reuben Fowkes who have been living in Hungary for decades do not wish to answer these questions. The curator couple’s latest exhibition makes it clear that everything that happened in Hungary in the year that the Berlin Wall came down can be seen and shown in many different ways from the perspective of art. The exhibition titled “Revolutionary Decadence: Foreign Artists in Budapest since 1989” is the final piece in the major trilogy organised by Maja and Reuben Fowkes: after the first exhibition on 1956 “Revolution Is Not a Garden Party”, and the second commemorating 1968 “Revolution: I Love You”, they place this decisive event in the 20th century history of Eastern Europe in art history. They have invited to the exhibition artists who spent time in Hungary over the past twenty years and whose creative career was influenced in an important way by the collapse of the Soviet bloc.

The exhibition is opened every day between 10 am and 6 pm from October 15 to November 25, from 1 November every day between 10 am and 4 pm. The museum is closed on Monday.

OSCILLOGRAMS

October 16 | 18.00
2B Gallery

Four years ago German and American artists and biomedical scientists held a joint exhibition in the Museum of Medical History in Berlin and then the Schaffler Gallery in New York: “Missing Link – Art Meets Biomedicine". The latest work of the same artists [Lisa Glauer, Nikki Degenhardt, Käthe Wenzel, Rajkamal Kahlon and Frank Schäpel] can be seen at the exhibition in Budapest’s 2B Gallery, together with images from the scientific studies of neurologists [Kristian Rother and Wolfgang Knapp], pathologists [Achim Kramer and Navena Widulin] and an anatomist [Ingo Bechmann]. What is the difference between scientific and artistic portrayal? How do they reconstruct or deconstruct reality? The exhibition, together with discussions, workshops and lectures in the Budapest Goethe Institute, seeks answers to these questions.

The exhibition is opened from October 17 to November 28, on Weekdays between 2 and 6 pm, and on Saturday between 10 am and 2 pm. The exhibition is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Organised by the 2B Gallery.
