WALDSEE 1944 – concert · Gallery 2B · 16th October 2024 7:30pm

Five years ago, writers and poets wrote their camp postcards for our last exhibition Waldsee 1944, and this year, for the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust in Hungary, we have included visual artists and composers in our commemoration. The drama that thickens in the now barely legible lines of the postcards sent from Auschwitz, the human tragedies that slowly fade away on the paper, have inspired the new music that is being composed. We know from the surviving postcards that the authorities offered the recipients the opportunity to reply, but the maximum length of the text was limited to 30 words. It is not known whether these reply letters ever reached the camp and, if so, whether anyone ever read them. Given the length of the 1944 Waldsee papers, the composers invited to write for this occasion limited their compositions to 3 minutes.

PASSAGE | FAR-AWAY THINGS ARE SEEN MOST CLEARLY · Gallery 2B Budapest · 6-26th September 2024

PASSAGE | FAR-AWAY THINGS ARE SEEN MOST CLEARLY
Tivadar Nemesi and Tibor Szemző’s Complentative Exhibition
commemorating the 100th anniversary of Franz Kafka’s  death

The starting point for Szemző’s work were excerpts from the conversations between the young Prague student Gustav Janouh and Kafka.
The films of the re-contextualized conversation-fragments appear as stand-alone objects on tiny projectors.
The metaphorical thoughts is further reinforced by Tivadar Nemesi’s leaf engravings which evoke human beings.
They associate to the film-scenes, like characters from an invisible story, a space woven around Kafkaesque thoughts.
