PUCCS Contemporary Art
PUCCS was founded in 2014 by Bullet Shih, visual artist from New York, whose aim was to give time and space to artists both from Hungary and abroad to experiment in a non-profit environment. Installations and performances were the main focus of the program, and a strong community was evolved around. Bullet curated his last exhibition at the end of 2019.
PUCCS was reopened in November 2021 with the “Insight” installation series of Parallel Art Foundation. Bullet’s family continues to operate PUCCS in his loving memory.
