The exhibition The Bird Lives / Imre Baász and his friends – witness stories and the idea of printing opened on 5 October at the MAGMA Contemporary Art Exhibition Space. The exhibition attempts to compose a portrait of Imre Baász, complemented by contemporary art projects belonging to this intellectual tradition. The exhibition was opened by Attila Kispál, director of the MAGMA Contemporary Art Exhibition Space, Apor S. Ferencz, curator of the Biennial, Márton Gajzágó, journalist, and Dénes Miklósi, one of the curators of the exhibition.

On the occasion of the creation of the exhibition, Miklósi explains that he does not treat the work of Imre Baász as a historical act, but is interested in the present. In a kind of visual anthropology experiment, the aim was to rediscover the face that is made up of the faces of people who were close to him. The exhibition includes interviews with close friends of Imre Baász, as well as some of the artist’s unfinished works and sketches. “I’m not interested in his art, I’m interested in the unquantifiable” – says Miklósi.

Imre Baász’s tradition is an important part of recent history through its practical, applied character. The title of the exhibition is a reference to his mail-art work with the same title, reproduced in 1985 with serigraphy, about which he writes: “a work not only suggests the possibility of change, but also intervenes in the context of the material world, rearranging the world according to changed needs or anxieties”.

The artists participating in the exhibition are Márta Adorjáni, Răzvan Anton, Claudiu Cobilanschi, Hermina Csala, Vilmos Koter, Szilárd Miklós, Dénes Miklósi, Cătălina Nistor, Áron Öllerer. Curators: Dénes Miklósi, Vilmos Koter. The exhibition is open until 2 December. Photos of the event can be viewed HERE.

The exhibition of the G6 winner opened in the Arcaded House

On Wednesday, October 5, 2022, the exhibition of Thai artist Mettrai Pongchomporn, Grand Prize Winner of the 6th 6th Graphic Art Biennial of Szeklerland was opened in the Arcaded House in Sfântu Gheorghe. The event marked the start of this year’s Biennial. The exhibition was opened by Zonga Bartha, colleague of the Szekler National Museum, Apor S. Ferencz, curator of the Biennia, and Fruzsina Vargha, art historian and deputy mayor of the Sfântu Gheorghe.

Zonga Bartha welcomed the large number of visitors on behalf of the Szekler National Museum, the venue of the exhibition. Apor S. Ferencz then introduced the artist and the technique used in his works.

Mettrai Pongchomporn, 25, from Thailand, comes from a family of artists, studies printmaking at the Silpakorn University of Art in Bangkok, and is the recipient of numerous awards. The artist is also active in the world of digital art, working in graphic design and animation. The exhibited works have been created during the last four years.

With the content and conceptual background of the works, he holds up a mirror to the Thai education system, trying to point out its negative character. The emphasis is on breaking out of enforced uniformity, on the individual’s need for freedom.

The prints combine several graphic techniques, using etching as the basic technique, complemented by screen printing and chine collé, applied in different ways in each work.

„The concept and ideas of this unique exhibition convey a clear message, while at the same time captivating the eye with its nuanced mood and rhythmic changes” – said Vargha Fruzsina. She emphasized that the works present a new culture, a different kind of youth, a world far away from us, but at the same time meaningful to us, which is both thought-provoking and simple. With this duality, the 25-year-old artist creates the aura that the unity of the exhibition and the uniqueness of the works can express.

The exhibition is open until 6 November. Photos of the event can be viewed HERE. 

The Biennial is supported by the Bethlen Gábor Fund (BGA) and the National Cultural Fund of Hungary (NKA).

There will be four exhibition openings during the Biennial.

The Graphic Art Biennial of Szeklerland has become a significant international forum of graphic art and this has been confirmed again by the quantity and quality of the submitted works to the call of the biennial of this year. The importance of G7 is also is also evident if we consider that this year artists from 62 countries have sent works to the contest. Similarly to the preceding event of the biennial, the Hungarian, Romanian and Polish lines are still the strongest, but this year the representation of some countries from South-America and a series of countries of the East, including Thailand, India, China or Taiwan has become more pronounced. During the application period of ten weeks nearly 2000 works from 844 artists have been submitted.

The deadline of the 7th Graphic Art Biennial was on March 23 at midnight, and after that the first phase of the jurying session took place during the period from March 29 to March 31.

The jury of G7 is composed by internationally recognized representatives of graphic art: Prof. dr. Bogdan Achimescu, professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, Prof. dr. István Erőss,  rector of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, Prof. dr. Adriana Lucaciu, professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the West University of Temesvár/Timișoara, dr. Andrea Pézman, assistant professor at the Graphic Design Department of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava, dr. Beáta Bordás, art historian and director of the Transylvanian Art Centre in Sfântu Gheorghe, dr. József Szurcsik, vice-rector of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, head of department associate professor and Apor Ferencz S. artist, curator of the biennial.

Soon we are going to publish the list of the selected works on the website of the biennial.
