This year marks the centenary of the founding of the first Hungarian avant-garde journal A Tett. In 1915, Lajos Kassák brought a radically new tone to Hungarian literary and artistic life, bringing about changes whose effects are still felt today. The guided tour of the Kassák Museum’s revamped permanent exhibition delves into the revolutionary art of Lajos Kassák and the artistic revolutions of the 20th century.
Art historian Merse Pál Szeredi takes this guided tour of the permanent exhibition Kassák!
9.40–11:00 pm: TiborSzemző & Takarmánybázis: KŐFALTORTA film concert
Tibor Szemző is a contemporary composer, media artist, performer and founding member of the 180 Group. In his work, he explores the multi-layered connections between the spoken voice, instrumental music and images.
Among the pieces to be performed by Takarmánybázis in the Kassák Museum is Szemző’s K.Metszetek (K. Sections). It is an idiosyncratic approach to Franz Kafka, a tour of the Kafkaesque universe through film, spoken language and music. The piece is a symbiosis of sound and vision, and the concert features film footage shot in 7 countries.
