  still from the film Kentaur

You are cordially invited to the Hungarian premiere of

Tamás Szentjóby’s

Kentaur

 

Screening times: Thursday, 12 November 2009, at 8 pm and 9 pm
 
Location: Toldi Cinema, large hall
(Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út 36-38, Budapest V)
 
 
Until now, only a very select few could see Tamás Szentjóby’s film, as it was banned in 1975, prior to its completion and final printing. György Durst, secretary of the Béla Balázs Studio at the time, found the confiscated work print in 1983, and immediately made a copy to rescue its value. The digital reconstruction of the seriously damaged film material occurred in 2009 on the initiative of, and coordinated by, the Ludwig Museum / ACAX. The immediate reason for the restoration was the invitation of the film to be a part of the 11th Istanbul Biennial, where its presentation received significant international attention. Kentaur can be seen by the Hungarian audience for the first time in its original and completed form.

Attila Szűcs: Divers, 2007

Attila Szűcs
Bubble Memory
1991–2007

6 October – 18 November 2007
WAX
opening: 5 October 2007, 19.00
opening remarks by:
Lívia Páldi (chief curator, Műcsarnok)

New catalogue of Attila Szűcs - Bubble Memory - is published on the occasion of the exhibition. 

The nearly two-decade-long oeuvre of Attila Szűcs, who has also been experimenting recently, with animations does not only consist of the development and cultivation of a new method of painting.
It also signifies a continuous thinking process and commentary regarding the possibilities in figurative painting and questions touching on contemporary visuality as well as the medial and communicational areas of the painted image.
