[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ el_class=”full-2″][vc_column_text]Blow-Ups<\/em> centres around one particular year in the Sixties: 1963. It does this through the lens of a single work, Mikl\u00f3s Jancs\u00f3\u2019s film Cantata<\/em>, which was shot in 1962 and released in early 1963. In the film, the main protagonist, Ambrus J\u00e1rom (played by Zolt\u00e1n Latinovits), meanders around Budapest, strolling from one meeting place for intellectuals to another. He eavesdrops on seemingly endless debates in caf\u00e9s, or, during a gathering in a studio apartment, watches an experimental film that was made with his participation. The series of scenes, which begins in the EMKE building and ends in the apartment of J\u00e1rom\u2019s physician colleague, offers a vivid portrayal of the intellectual milieu, with all its dilemmas, in which the Hungarian intelligentsia found itself at the time. The focus on individual scenes, locations, objects and subjects raised in the film allows the outlines of the tensions among and faced by the intellectuals of the era to emerge.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_single_image image=”18464″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n B\u00e9la Gruber<\/p>\n Still Life with \u201cFecske\u201d Cigarettes \/ Still Life with \u201cEsti H\u00edrlap\u201d Newspaper and Jug<\/em>, 1963, mixed media, newspaper, 35 \u00d7 48 cm<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_column_text]The exhibition examines numerous areas of culture. Proceeding from the concepts and relations of the visual arts, it endeavours to reinterpret questions pertaining to culture, art and society in Hungary from the perspective of today. It investigates official art and alternative culture and their parallel existence. The exhibition, which has been divided into several sections, focuses on different aspects of the film. It highlights certain objects, works of art, and documents, and it outlines the context necessary for a nuanced understanding of the era.<\/p>\n The individual sections focus in particular on the art of Lili Orsz\u00e1g, J\u00e1nos Orosz, \u00c1kos Szab\u00f3, and B\u00e9la Gruber, as well as on painting in the early 1960s, posters by G\u00e1bor Papp, the architecture of the period and the city of Budapest at the time, and the gatherings which took place in private apartments (the saloons of Dr L\u00e1szl\u00f3 V\u00e9gh and P\u00e1l Petrigalla), also devoting attention to the furnishings of contemporary apartments.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_single_image image=”18466″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n \u00c1kos Szab\u00f3<\/p>\n Cantata Profana (details), 1960-63<\/p>\n Photo: Gyula Sopronyi<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#c6c6c6″ up=”10″ down=”20″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]The exhibition was realized with the assistance of:<\/strong><\/p>\n On behalf of the Budapest Gallery:<\/p>\n G\u00c1BOR ANDR\u00c1SI, \u00c1D\u00c1M CS\u00c1BI, S\u00c1NDOR MUR\u00c1NYI, ISTV\u00c1N STEFFANITS, \u00c1GNES SZABICS, ZSUZSANNA SZEGEDY-MASZ\u00c1K, TAM\u00c1S T\u00d6R\u00d6K, ANNA VERES, M\u00d3NIKA ZOMBORI<\/p>\n Curator of the architecture and design sections:<\/p>\n M\u00c1RTA BRANCZIK<\/p>\n Conception for the Kol Nidre section:<\/p>\n HEDVIG TURAI, ZS\u00d3FIA FARKAS, NEMERE KEREZSI<\/p>\n Content specialist of the section on Dr V\u00e9gh:<\/p>\n EMESE K\u00dcRTI<\/p>\n Planning for the Generation of Rust wall was done in collaboration with:<\/p>\n L\u00d3R\u00c1NT B\u00d3DI, D\u00d3RA MATYUS<\/p>\n Films by:<\/p>\n LAJOS BOGL\u00c1R, P\u00c9TER FORG\u00c1CS, N\u00c1NDOR HEVESI, ZSUZSANNA SIMON \u2013 BENEDEK BOGN\u00c1R, GYULA SOPRONYI<\/p>\n Production of films was done in collaboration with:<\/p>\n R\u00d3BERT BORD\u00c1S, CSABA KALOT\u00c1S, SEBESTY\u00c9N KODOL\u00c1NYI, M\u00c1T\u00c9 MARTINKOVICS, EMINA MESSAOUDI, ANNA M\u00c9SZ\u00d6LY, KRISZTINA SEDLMAYR, KATALIN SZ\u00c9KELY<\/p>\n Interview with Dr G\u00e1bor Kov\u00e1cs was done in collaboration with:<\/p>\n MARIANN BER\u00c9NYI<\/p>\n Special thanks to the Semmelweis Medical History Museum<\/p>\n Photography and photo editing:<\/p>\n GYULA SOPRONYI<\/p>\n Principal lending and collaborative partner:<\/p>\n Municipal Gallery \u2013 Kiscell Museum:<\/p>\n \u00c1GNES BAKOS, P\u00c9TER K\u00d6BL\u00d6S, ZS\u00d3KA LEPOSA, JUDIT LOR\u00c1NYI, S\u00c1NDOR PAPP, ENIK\u0150 R\u00d3KA, MAGDOLNA SIMON, FERENC SPRINGER, BENCE TIHANYI, D\u00d3RA VINCZE<\/p>\n Special thanks to:<\/p>\n B\u00c1LINT \u00c1CS, KATALIN BAKOS, ISTV\u00c1N DARVAS RABBI, ZOLT\u00c1N FARKASDY, TAM\u00c1S F\u00c9NER, \u00c9VA HOR\u00c1NYI, TIBOR HUSZ\u00c1R, ALEXANDRA JENEY, TAM\u00c1S JUH\u00c1SZ G., ZSOLT K.
