Is there a clear line, a stream, or a low point beyond which everything above counts as a mountain?&nbsp; Then, up there, I have been to peaks that were very flat—almost like plateaus—and I have even turned back a few hundred meters before reaching the summit. Partly because I am afraid of heights, and partly because, when I am exhausted, I can easily come to terms with the idea that I will not finish this all the way through. Maybe that is also, why there is about 10 square centimetres of panelling missing from the top of my house. Back then, I got tired and climbed down from the ladder, thinking I would finish it later, but I never went back up there. There is no need to panic—it is not leaking—but still. The exhibition plays on this 99-percent-of-the-time character, creating hiding places and unavoidable priorities for it.” Mátyás Fusz explores the subjective and objective boundaries of perception primarily through sculptures, objects, and installations. His works and series, which depict the possibilities—or indeed the impossibilities—of defining what is different and what is the same, are studies of the simplest possible cases. He graduated as a painter from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Pécs in 2009 and earned his Ph.D. from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 2021. He has had solo exhibitions at the Budapest Gallery, the Kisterem Gallery, and the Liget Gallery, among others, and has participated in group exhibitions at the Kiscelli Museum, the Vasarely Museum, and the M21 Gallery in Pécs. In 2023, he won the Leopold Bloom Fine Arts Award. /// On view 0-24h Cairo Contemporary, 1071 Budapest, Lövölde tér 7.Organised by Parallel Art Foundation Curator: Gábor Pintér Supported by Hungarian Academy of Arts Cooperation partner: Bischitz Johanna Integrated Human Service Centre instagram.com/Cairo.Contemporary instagram.com/parallel.art.foundation &nbsp; &nbsp;<img width="1166" height="669" width_o="1166" height_o="669" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b286870fed37e81177b0764bde7b49b03d4b268354c914091a0596ba4e1a6c9c/MMAlogoC_1_ketsoros.jpg" data-mid="247376577" border="0" data-scale="8" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b286870fed37e81177b0764bde7b49b03d4b268354c914091a0596ba4e1a6c9c/MMAlogoC_1_ketsoros.jpg" />&nbsp;<img width="646" height="160" width_o="646" height_o="160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c4aa55f2f14d9e77cf8ad8826004a3187bfae744a0278450c2d0d7ba222c012b/Bisitz-Johanna.jpg" data-mid="247376576" border="0" data-scale="5" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/646/i/c4aa55f2f14d9e77cf8ad8826004a3187bfae744a0278450c2d0d7ba222c012b/Bisitz-Johanna.jpg" /> https://parallelfoundation.com/NEXT-2026-09-04-10-14-Anna-Jarai-Habitus Sun, 26 Jul 2026 11:40:28 +0000 Parallel Art Foundation / Parallel Művészeti Alapítvány https://parallelfoundation.com/NEXT-2026-09-04-10-14-Anna-Jarai-Habitus <img width="1280" height="1024" width_o="1280" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3611bc8ca2f397e763d59cc58986637d3695af8335bfcfe98470635df54cc2cc/Jrai-Anna_Habitus_1_net.jpg" data-mid="250723157" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3611bc8ca2f397e763d59cc58986637d3695af8335bfcfe98470635df54cc2cc/Jrai-Anna_Habitus_1_net.jpg" /> Anna Járai Habitus (Hungaricum Metamorphoses IV.) Cairo Contemporary, Budapest 2026 09 04–10 14 &nbsp; In folk belief, the red boot appears as a means of taming a forest creature known as the ‘wild maiden’, which can be interpreted as a symbol of coercion into the patriarchal order. The work subverts and reclaims this symbol: the boot becomes the embodiment of Virginia Woolf’s ‘a room of one’s own’, taking on monumental proportions and providing a space for the experience of a wild, autonomous inner world. In this way, the process of taming is turned inwards; rather than subduing our inner wildness, it reinforces self-discovery, liberation and reclaiming. Anna Járai, a Budapest-based filmmaker and visual artist, explores the themes of embodiment and memory from a feminist critical perspective, creating research- and performance-based, cross-genre works including videos, photographs and installations. She draws inspiration from folklore, family history and local history, which she frequently references in her ritual reinterpretations. The installation entitled Habitus is a spatial representation of the latest piece in the Hungarikum Metamorphoses photographic series. In 2022, she graduated from the Film programme at Falmouth University in England, and in 2026, she graduated with an MA in Fine Art from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts. Her work has been shown at international film festivals and institutions such as the Encounters Film Festival in Bristol, the Millennium Film Workshop in New York, the Mayfair Art Weekend in London, and most recently at The Ladder in Redruth. In Budapest, her works were on display at the group exhibition The Land Interviewed at the Tér-Kép Gallery, as well as at the Turbina Cultural Centre’s exhibition Fluid Identities, Post-Hungarian Realities. In the spring of 2026, she was a fellow on a residency programme organised by Studio Rizoma in Palermo and European Alternatives, where she explored the themes of artistic activism and translocal solidarity. In early July, at the 5th Urban Camp organised by Tranzit.hu, she led a participatory art workshop based on the theories of Silvia Federici, in which participants created experimental animations whilst exploring the social significance of gossip. /// On view 0-24h Cairo Contemporary, 1071 Budapest, Lövölde tér 7.

Additionally, the work explores impermanence in both material and organic contexts. The visual expression of the piece draws from human anatomy, with the artist's specific inspiration stemming from educational anatomical charts of hands. The artwork consists of three free-hanging surfaces sewn together from textiles and shaped like three hands. Measuring 250 cm each, the three pieces are suspended from the ceiling by metal chains. Father’s Three Hands is crafted from coarse and fine linen, silk, and tulle. The nearly transparent silk and tulle stand in sharp contrast to the rough linen. The textiles have been treated using a graphic technique where patinated copper creates a turquoise print on the fabric. Furthermore, the linen has been colored using metal water and imprint from chains, leaving the material with deep brown shades. The combination of the textile's texture and the metal's patina creates a visual effect that evokes the decay of the body, exposing flesh and bone through the process of decomposition. The title Father’s Three Hands refers to the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In this installation, however, the hands take on a different meaning. They do not point toward harmony, but toward a world marked by unrest and inequality. Two of the hands form a pair, while the third stands apart, suggesting something uncontrollable and disruptive. The focus shifts from the divine to the primal and fragile aspects of human nature—the sides we cannot always control, such as violence, betrayal, hidden intentions, and paralysis. In her practice, Ditte Marie Frost takes her point of departure in the subconscious and the obscured aspects of our world, where everything is in constant flux. Frost works across the mediums of installation, sculpture, and painting, using materials such as oxidized copper, steel, brass, iron, oil paint, and textiles. In her works, Frost combines sculptural elements made from various metals and textiles. The textiles are bleached and patinated by oxidized metals through a specialized technique. Frost is drawn to the utilization of chemical processes, as they leave an expression in the works that balances between the uncontrollable and the predictable. The patination and corrosion processes used in Frost’s works reflect one of the overarching themes in her practice: impermanence and transformation. Frost’s motifs draw from insects, weapons, and human and animal bodies. By combining bodily figurations with oxidized metals, she creates a space that oscillates between destruction and creation. For her motifs, Frost finds inspiration in alchemy, religion, and film—particularly genres such as horror, sci-fi, and body horror. In her artistic practice, Frost is furthermore inspired by Julia Kristeva's and Carl Jung's ideas on consciousness. Ditte Marie Frost is a Danish visual artist (born 1992) who graduated from Funen Art Academy in Odense (2015-2020), which included an exchange program at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (2018-2019). In 2022 she had her first institutional solo exhibition at Platform in Nikolaj Kunsthal. Additionally, her work has been exhibited in the Round Tower in Copenhagen and at Cantina in Aarhus, among other venues.

Puccs Contemporary Art Official event of Budapest Photography Festival Midissage:&nbsp; 2026.04.15.&nbsp; 18:00-19:30 Current imaging contexts create a visual environment that resists stable frameworks of image interpretation. The image does not appear as an unambiguously readable structure, but rather as a system built upon multiple, contradictory visual logics. Recognition is not an automatic process, but rather an uncertain and constantly renegotiated one. In this context, the increasingly advanced cognitive capabilities of algorithms—pattern recognition, categorization, and visual inference—shape not only the creation of images but also the frameworks for their interpretation. The distinction between virtuality and reality cannot be fixed but dissolves, rendering the image’s status fundamentally unstable. Similar to his earlier works, Dávid Biró draws upon this state of uncertainty. The resulting composition creates a visual situation in which the viewer remains in a constant state of interpretive attempt. The emphasis is not on the subject of the image, but on the process of recognizing and reconciling various patterns, structures, and visual signs. The image thus does not offer a solution, but creates an open enigma in which the conditions of interpretation become visible. /// On view 0-24h PUCCS Contemporary Art, 1084 Budapest, Víg u. 22. <img width="142" height="142" width_o="142" height_o="142" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/03778a914056174e9917d544e04bc7713f14f63ed7b6ec5c7620de21916c8d98/BudapestFotofesztival_logo.jpg" data-mid="245922693" border="0" data-scale="11" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/142/i/03778a914056174e9917d544e04bc7713f14f63ed7b6ec5c7620de21916c8d98/BudapestFotofesztival_logo.jpg" /> https://parallelfoundation.com/2026-02-27-03-27-Orsolya-Jancsovics-Imitation Thu, 22 Jan 2026 15:52:07 +0000 Parallel Art Foundation / Parallel Művészeti Alapítvány https://parallelfoundation.com/2026-02-27-03-27-Orsolya-Jancsovics-Imitation <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2f31426f56f9706871df729d03dfdd5174ff1a49c5004f1b2acf2c1e05251818/Jancsovics-Orsolya_Oszlopok-vgtelenje____.jpg" data-mid="243815994" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2f31426f56f9706871df729d03dfdd5174ff1a49c5004f1b2acf2c1e05251818/Jancsovics-Orsolya_Oszlopok-vgtelenje____.jpg" /> Orsolya Jancsovics Imitation 2026 02 27 - 03 27 PUCCS Contemporary Art Opening: 2026, February 27, 6-7.30pm Orsolya Jancsovics' installation entitled Imitation deals with the issues of "imitation" and "identification," further developing her earlier series of works entitled Disguise. The artist interprets disguise as a form of blending in: "dressing up as nature," a gesture of returning to the beginning, to Mother Nature. The costumes here are not related to the world of consumption, but to the archaic knowledge of tribal communities, the experience of belonging and unity with nature. The individual who comes into contact with the "magical object" can immerse themselves in the flow experience, loose control over time, and reconnect with their own inner rhythm. The suspended work features contrasting pairs such as civilization–culture, urbanization–nature, contemporary–archaic, and male–female. The relationship between men and women appears not only in formal but also in technical terms: it merges into a kind of androgynous creation; the masculine framework often used in sculpture is combined with softer, feminine raffia weaving. The decomposing materials of the work themselves evoke the cycle of nature. After her study tour in China, Orsolya Jancsovics made a definitive commitment to sculpture. The art and philosophy of Far Eastern culture have continued to influence her work ever since. She is interested in everything that is ancient and belongs to the past. However, this does not mean that she is simply nostalgic or traditionalist. For her, the transmission of values always goes hand in hand with constant change and dynamism: a synthesis of the past and the present, and perhaps even a sense of the future. In her earlier works, she has already dealt with issues related to gravity and sculpture, such as balance and the risk of collapse. Her works are often characterized by performativity, while exploring borderline situations and the extent of the individual subject. In the fall semester of the 2025/2026 academic year, as a student at Taipei National Taiwan University of Arts, she created her installation entitled Injured Island, which is the precedent of the work created in Puccs, composed of banyan roots brought from Taiwan, as well as wires, raffia, and yarn. Walking through the streets of the gigacity, the artist was fascinated by the banyan tree's roots hanging down from above and intertwining everything, giving the impression that the tree had human hair. And next to it is a network of electrical wires running along the walls of buildings, which in Europe tend to be hidden away. These two types of "ropes" create a parallel between the natural and the artificial, as do some of the synthetic pieces used by the artist herself. /// On view 0-24h PUCCS Contemporary Art, 1084 Budapest, Víg u. 22. https://parallelfoundation.com/2026-01-16-02-20-Zsuzsanna-G-Szabo-more-is-more Wed, 26 Nov 2025 11:01:33 +0000 Parallel Art Foundation / Parallel Művészeti Alapítvány https://parallelfoundation.com/2026-01-16-02-20-Zsuzsanna-G-Szabo-more-is-more <img width="1280" height="854" width_o="1280" height_o="854" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0c7eecc94b7b8031942ef7363008a37a5613517729da84f8cbb683185ff1bcc3/G.-Szab-Zsuzsanna_more-is-more_PUCCS_.jpg" data-mid="241104496" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0c7eecc94b7b8031942ef7363008a37a5613517729da84f8cbb683185ff1bcc3/G.-Szab-Zsuzsanna_more-is-more_PUCCS_.jpg" /> Zsuzsanna&nbsp;G. Szabó more is more PUCCS Contemporary Art 2026.01.16-02.20. Opening: 2026, January 16.,&nbsp; 6-7.30pmPerformance by Csilla Gesztelyi Nagy / Cipolla Collectiva Talk &amp;Action: 2026, February 12.6pm Side event of Budapest Central European Fashion Week. The clothing industry produces, artists create – both processes generate endless amounts of by-products that are inherently wasteful, slowly flooding the world with objects. Zsuzsanna G. Szabó has long been engaged in a deeper analysis of her main medium, knitting, in various contexts. Her installation presented at Puccs was inspired by the large amount of experimental knitting that inevitably accumulates in workshops during the creation of knitted objects. Contemplating the sculpture installation created from these objects, which fills the entire space, we can reflect on our already visually overstimulated world, the textile industry's environmentally damaging overproduction, chaos, and the beauty inherent in it. Many knitting require a lot of time. The exhibited fabrics were all made on manually operated flat knitting machines, bearing the traces of the long, meditative, artisanal work that went into their creation, which gives them added meaning. Zsuzsanna G. Szabó (Budapest, 1990) is a textile artist who graduated from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design with a degree in fashion and textile design. In 2015, she participated in theater director and visual artist Robert Wilson's summer residency program at the Watermill Center in New York, where she gained experience in costume design and performance art. She works in performance art, installations, and knitwear and costume design, primarily in the field of contemporary dance. Her main area of creation is costume-centered performance. The genre is unique in that the focus is on the shaped material, blurring and dissolving the boundaries between performing arts, visual arts, and applied arts. Her most important creative tool is knitting, but she also works with embroidery and other textile techniques, and she constantly examines and researches the cultural and social significance of these activities. She often reflects on her own life in her works, so her frequent themes are motherhood, femininity, and the ideas based on them. /// On view 0-24h PUCCS Contemporary Art, 1084 Budapest, Víg u. 22.Organised by Parallel Art Foundation Curator: Gábor Pintér Supported by Budapest - District 8 Józsefváros Municipality and Hungarian Academy of Arts. <img width="900" height="900" width_o="900" height_o="900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eea252c6a2e477950796446a0a94cdb9b7f7bfaf6e70579f910df002d9a47688/Jozsefvaros.jpg" data-mid="241104497" border="0" data-scale="9" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/900/i/eea252c6a2e477950796446a0a94cdb9b7f7bfaf6e70579f910df002d9a47688/Jozsefvaros.jpg" /> &nbsp; &nbsp;<img width="1166" height="669" width_o="1166" height_o="669" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b286870fed37e81177b0764bde7b49b03d4b268354c914091a0596ba4e1a6c9c/MMAlogoC_1_ketsoros.jpg" data-mid="241104498" border="0" data-scale="7" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b286870fed37e81177b0764bde7b49b03d4b268354c914091a0596ba4e1a6c9c/MMAlogoC_1_ketsoros.jpg" /> https://parallelfoundation.com/2025-11-21-2026-01-18-Ditta-Sarfenstein-Inventory Fri, 03 Oct 2025 16:45:23 +0000 Parallel Art Foundation / Parallel Művészeti Alapítvány https://parallelfoundation.com/2025-11-21-2026-01-18-Ditta-Sarfenstein-Inventory <img width="1000" height="665" width_o="1000" height_o="665" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5753b301d34fe0a09fdd0454dd063ea40950ecc42a80e3d34e5b7e0c2f24a0b6/Sarfenstein-Ditta_Leltr_CAIRO_FBcover_kicsi.jpg" data-mid="240611771" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5753b301d34fe0a09fdd0454dd063ea40950ecc42a80e3d34e5b7e0c2f24a0b6/Sarfenstein-Ditta_Leltr_CAIRO_FBcover_kicsi.jpg" /> Ditta Sarfenstein Inventory Cairo Contemporary, Budapest 2025 11 21 - 2026 01 18 Sarfenstein Dittas' work deals with questions such as: Do our material possessions define us? Can our objects describe and characterize us? How do our objects influence each other, and how do we imbue our everyday objects with our own personalities? The overlapping of colours and shapes results in an illusionistic spatial game, evoking a quasi-virtual composition in the emptied exhibition space. The process of creating the Inventory can be compared to the structure of memory: encoding, storage, retrieval. During the latter, the artist draws her objects in space with her pen. Sarfenstein Ditta graduated in 2025 from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts with a degree in sculpture, where she studied in Ádám Szabó's class. During her studies, she researched ways of visually representing the contrast between virtual and real concepts using sculptural tools, and she also combines traditional craft techniques with modern tools. The technique she used to create his diploma project, Inventory, could be described as the culmination of these two areas of research: hand drawing in space with a 3D pen. In addition to Budapest, she studied fine arts in Munich, Groningen, and Antwerp. /// On view 0-24h Cairo Contemporary, 1071 Budapest, Lövölde tér 7.Organised by Parallel Art Foundation Curator: Gábor Pintér Supported by Erzsébetváros Municipality, Hungarian Art Academny Cooperation partner: Bischitz Johanna Integrated Human Service Centre &nbsp; instagram.com/Cairo.Contemporary instagram.com/parallel.art.foundation <img width="400" height="125" width_o="400" height_o="125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4af24d18df18c8260a983426c05a0e8d574a50ab1171f29deffa5b2b305269f2/Erzsebetvaros.jpg" data-mid="238988798" border="0" data-scale="5" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/400/i/4af24d18df18c8260a983426c05a0e8d574a50ab1171f29deffa5b2b305269f2/Erzsebetvaros.jpg" /> &nbsp; &nbsp;<img width="1166" height="669" width_o="1166" height_o="669" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b286870fed37e81177b0764bde7b49b03d4b268354c914091a0596ba4e1a6c9c/MMAlogoC_1_ketsoros.jpg" data-mid="238988800" border="0" data-scale="8" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b286870fed37e81177b0764bde7b49b03d4b268354c914091a0596ba4e1a6c9c/MMAlogoC_1_ketsoros.jpg" /> <img width="646" height="160" width_o="646" height_o="160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c4aa55f2f14d9e77cf8ad8826004a3187bfae744a0278450c2d0d7ba222c012b/Bisitz-Johanna.jpg" data-mid="238988799" border="0" data-scale="5" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/646/i/c4aa55f2f14d9e77cf8ad8826004a3187bfae744a0278450c2d0d7ba222c012b/Bisitz-Johanna.jpg" />
