Antal Kelle's ArtFormer works were most recently displayed in Dessau in the Bauhaus Kandinsky/Klee Master House, then in Hungary at the Exhibition Hall of the Hungarian Patent Office. His large-sized figures created for the 2009 Budapest Design Week are hung in the Renaissance Hall of the Museum of Fine Arts. They are a platform for the joint interactivity of several persons and utilise the most progressive technologies. From the point of view of interactivity the almost 6 metre tall statue couple that uses the entire space is exceptional in art history. Visitors of the museum can directly modulate them, while others can watch and remotely move the statues from two other venues – the Museum of Applied Arts and the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest. No one knows the other in this relationship. The indirect behaviours and reactions revealing themselves in the movements of the statues fall into play or co-operative acceptance or even denial.

I was born in the Ukraine in 1983. Spent most of my life in a dark bedding storage, then returned in 2005. I watch things and people around me. I like being with friends. I like being on my own. I laugh when something is real, real fun. I think that important things are simple. I do play, but I am not a toy. We all have our job to do. My job is to deal with what I like. I share my experiences. I'd like to invite you to the first exhibition of my life. http://sargika.wordpress.com

The style of the uniquely designed woolen carpets of Brinkus Design is a kind of breaking point from the strict rules of geometry and rigid angularity. Thanks to hand-tufting the shape and surface of the carpets can be freely formulated, while coupling the different materials results in the creation of special pieces that can make any interior original and characteristic.
Adventurous visitors can try sculpturesque shearing and can even take the result of their work home.

Curious – search the border – cross the border

october 3. 20.00

Loffice
1061 Budapest
Paulay Ede street 55.
October 3.–November 3.
Mon–Fri 9.00–18.00

The project was launched as the co-operation of two universities (Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest and Schule für Gestaltung, Ravensburg) as a joint research and art initiative for experts and students who live in Hungary or Germany and work in the field of visual communication. The exhibited task was completed by randomly associated German and Hungarian pairs. After the first move of the starting designer the graphical work was sent six times between the artists of the two countries, thus shaping into its final form. The visual responses are interesting even in their own right, but the real excitement is the process of the creation.

The Collective of Natural Disasters: Skin-Membrane

october 2, 3. 20.00

Trafó House of Contemporary Arts
1094 Budapest, Liliom street 41.

The meaning of the body gains a symbolic sense through visual transformation and spatial replacement. With this approach 'costume' is the top skin layer, a body-mask influencing our relation to the outside world. The “Body-masks”, basics of the performance are created as a kind of metamorphoses carrying a sign system that determines the happenings on the stage in time, space and movement. The actors and dancers are not impersonators of a role, much more the animators of the events. On the basis of the writings of Krisztina Tóth and costume-fictions of Edit Szűcs.

Titanium – Jewellery by Krisztián Ádám

Sterling Jewellery Gallery
1092 Budapest, Ráday street 31.
October 3–11.
Mon–Fri: 12.00–20.00, Sat: 10.00–14.00

It was the Lajos Kozma Applied Art Scholarship that made it possible for designer Krisztián Ádám to start working with modern metal industry technologies not used by traditional jewellers. Such a process is wire spark cutting, which makes the cutting of the otherwise hard titanium possible. Thanks to the many cuttings, the titanium bracelets resembling 16th century gofers, collars are exceptionally ethereal and flexible, wearing them is a fantastic experience that visitors can enjoy at the presentation of the Sterling Jewellery Gallery.
The exhibition is being opened by András Bánfalvi jewellery designer.
