The centre, together with Poland?s Dominik Art Projects, is organising a show of the work of Hungarian avant-garde artists from the 60s and 70s called Minimal Movements and presenting the younger generation in a show called Joy and Disaster. Minimal Movements features the work of Miklós Erdély, Tibor Gayor, Dóra Maurer and Vera Molnár. Works by Szabolcs KissPál, Tímea Oravecz, Tamás Kaszás, Anikó Lóránt, Little Warsaw (András Gálik and Bálint Havas), SZAF (Miklós Mécs and Judit Fisher), Ádám Kokesch and Emese Benczúr are in the Joy and Disaster show. The shows run from November 14 until December 23.
The exhibitions will be paired with screenings of short films made in Budapest?s Béla Balázs Studio of Budapest by Gábor Bódy, András Szirtes, Miklós Erdély and Dóra Maurer.
Krakow?s Bunker Sztuki is hosting the shows.
The Hungarian Centre in Krakow has invited the award-winning film director Bálint Kenyeres as a guest in November, when he will serve as a member of the jury of the 18th ETIUDA & Anima International Short Film Festival.
The centre also plans an event called Ghost Hunting ? Facing History in Contemporary Polish Drama organised together with the Polish Institute in Budapest as part of the Contemporary Drama Festival. It will include two theatre performances, question and answer sessions and a presentation of the first Hungarian language anthology of plays by Tadeusz Slobodzianek, who will be present.
