For six days, the studio gallery will be open every night, offering visitors the opportunity to see the works of different contemporary artists or groups of artists designed especially for the occasion at various places around the Budapest. In the course of these events, many artists have become involved in partnerships, and the result of these relationships can be seen in this year?s nighttime exhibitions.
Gallery by Night treats time in a unique way: with the power of actuality. The exhibition accommodates the phenomena of the moment without any constraint on form. Visitors are offered a view of the aesthetic and formal elements the artists used in this segment of time attempting to define their momentary situation and their identity as artists.
This year?s ?Gallery by Night? has the theme ?Floating Workshop? and aims to show that the dominance of classically understood workshops is a thing of the past. During the last decade, a number of exciting art forms have been born not of closed single-artist workshops, but of public spaces in cities, where anyone can follow the work of the artist or even participate. This is the kind of workshop ?Gallery by Night? is promoting, one which makes entirely different demands of the artist, forcing them to see their audience, rather than the audience coming to them as in a gallery setting. The event also aims to expose a broader audience to contemporary art.
Venues for the artists? ?workshops? will include such unusual places as a cinema, a market and a tram. The works of art themselves will be multifarious, including street art, public art, performance and visual art.
?Floating Workshops? is organised by Éva Beatrix Bora. Participants include Sándor, Bartha Zoltán Berei, Zsuzsa Farkas, Attila Pásztor, Miklós Pallagi, 1000%, Tamás Fehérvári, dj dork, SFEER Visual Group + Tigrics, Societas Artis Group (Julió Jerez, Sonja Makrai, Tímea Mogyorósi, Eszter Ágnes Szabó) and the Pregnant Woman and Mother musical group (MC Mada, VJ Jordán, Katica, Eszter Salamon).
The Studio Gallery is located at Képíró u. 6 in District V.
