Memorial Exhibition Opens in MODEM on the 21st of July

MODEM art center 1-3 Hunyadi János Street, Debrecen, Hungary

Mária Berhidi's retrospective exhibition, opening on the second floor of MODEM, aims to reveal the full extent of the late artist's somewhat hidden, sensitive and sensual conceptual-minimalist sculptural oeuvre, her personal and professional collaboration with fellow artists, and her influential work as an art organiser. Berhidi's art evolved from body torsos to quasi-geometric compositions using stone from quarries' waste.  She used materials like wood, textiles, metal, and found objects in installations. From 2007 for 15 years she was the artist curator of the Óbuda Society Gallery, promoting the youngest artists and presenting rarely published works. This influenced MODEM, which aimed to promote installation art and contemporary sculpture with individual voices. The exhibition will be opened by art historian Katalin Aknai on the 20th of July, at 4:00 p.m., with a welcome speech by Executive Director of MODEM, Kata Vizi,  followed by a curatorial guided tour with Szabolcs Süli-Zakar and Gábor Andrási. The event is free of charge. Exhibiting artist: Mária Berhidi  Contributing artists: András Cséfalvay, Ágnes Deli, Balázs Faa, Mariann Imre, Margit Koller, Endre Koronczi, Áron Kútvölgyi-Szabó, Ilona Lovas, Csilla Nagy, Sára Richter, Gábor Roskó, Ádám Szabó, Borbála Szanyi, Kamilla Szíj, Péter Türk, Ottó Vincze, Erzsébet Vojnich Curators: Szabolcs Süli-Zakar […]

Learning from Nature? – MODEM Symposium Programs Open to the Public

MODEM art center 1-3 Hunyadi János Street, Debrecen, Hungary

Every edition of the Debrecen International Artist in Residence (DAIR) operating since 2006, is built around a theme. In addition to creation, the symposium’s workflow emphasises collective thinking reflected in the symposium’s programs, which are open to the public. This year’s theme is summed up with the question and suggestion as“Learning from Nature?” The focus of this year’s Artist in Residence program is on the broadly conceived discipline of botany. Many significant moments in the history of botany in Hungary can be traced back to the city of Debrecen, such as the Herbarium (1578), annotated by Péter Juhász Méliusz, considered the first herbarium in Hungarian, and the two-volume Hungarian Herbarium by Sámuel Diószegi and Mihály Fazekas, which, according to Linné’s system (Debrecen, 1807), is the first publication of modern Hungarian botany. In addition to creative and research work, this year’s DAIR will be enriched with lectures and discussions. The workshop will be held in the ground floor spaces of the MODEM Center for Modern and Contemporary Art and to build on this visibility during the program, for example, by opening the workspace to visitors for a short time in the afternoons. Following the early evening openings, interested visitors can meet […]
