website launch
Time: December 5, 2014, 6 pm
Venue: Mayakovsky 102, the open office of tranzit. hu, 1068 Budapest, Király utca 102.
We created a website that presents the story of the Free School for Art Theory and Practice, initiated by tranzit.hu eight years ago. First, we publish the interviews with those who led seminars between 2006 and 2007. The theme of the discussion at the launch will be the genre of the interview within artistic and curatorial practice, in relation to the concept and history of the Free School for Art Theory and Practice.
Participants of the discussion are artist Lilla Khoór, writer, journalist Gergely Nagy, as well as curators Dóra Hegyi and Eszter Szakács.
The discussion is moderated by curators Eszter Lázár and Zsuzsa László.
The website and this event is realized in collaboration with Dorottya Bucsi, Tamás Milán Don, Dóra Kangiszer, Zsófia Márton, Szandra Mile, Terézia Nagyová, Róza Tekla Szilágyi, Krisztina Varga, MA students of the Art Theory and Curatorial Studies Department at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, Budapest.
