Kiállítás a Csányi5 Galériában. Az Örkény Színház fennállásának 20. évfordulóját különleges kiállítással ünnepeljük, melyen Znamenák István, a színház színésze és (lássuk be) fotóművésze mutatja be munkáit. Znamenák immár 10 éve dolgozik az Örkény társulatában, és színházi tevékenysége mellett sajátos, művészi látásmóddal örökíti meg a színház belső világát. Fotói betekintést engednek a kulisszák mögé, bemutatják a próbafolyamatok, előadások és mindennapok rejtett pillanatait. A képek a Csányi5 Galéria falain egy olyan atmoszférát teremtenek, amely az Örkény Színház lényegét ragadja meg: a szenvedélyt, az intimitást és a művészi közösség erejét. A kiállítás nemcsak a fotóművészet, hanem a színház iránt érdeklődők számára is különleges élményt nyújt. A kiállítást megnyitja: Parti Nagy Lajos író A belépés ingyenes. https://www.facebook.com/events/3806705282939685/

To reconsider the approach to our birthplace without feeling stigmatized and patriotic, Kincső Bede offers a photobook. She grew up in the Hungarian Székely minority of Transylvania, Romania and until now, in her rigorous photographic style, she always dealt with her very own family stories, the socialist heritage of a bygone era and traditional Székely motifs in order to find her place in the world. Intimate photography is a key tool in her process of identification, which allows us to experience the liveliness in her pictures. Her “mini-series”, that apply the visual contrast of the aesthetics of fashion photography and the rural environment, will scatter throughout different parts of the book and thus invite us to complete them with each other. Kincső Bede (b. in 1995) works in Budapest (HU) and Covasna (RO). She holds a Master’s in photography from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest and a Bachelor’s in film editing from Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca. She has exhibited in several cities of Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Italy and the US. In 2021, thanks to TOBE Gallery, she exhibits at Unseen Amsterdam and she is selected for Paris Photo fair's Curiosa sector, curated by Shoair Mavlian. In 2022, her photographs are exhibited at PhotoVogue Festival Milan. In 2023, she participates in the show “Self on Stage” in Galeria Anita Beckers Frankfurt. Anthony Vaccarello curates an exhibition for her at Saint Laurent Rive Droite, Paris and at YSL Beverly Hills LA, and on the same occasion YSL publishes her fanzine. Bede is nominated for the Esterhazy Art Award and thus exhibits in Ludwig Museum Budapest. Her photos are regularly in the printed press, such as The Art Newspaper, Vogue China, European Photography Magazine, Gup Magazine, Hot Potato and The Steidz. In 2024, hECTIC bOOKs launches her first photobook, displaying her œuvre to date. Kincső Bede is represented by TOBE Gallery Budapest. ⚫️ ⚪️ JACOPO BRUNELLO: AS IF A FACTORY SPOKE OF US - Valeria Bruzzi bevezetőjével 9.000 Ft - bankkártyás és készpénzes fizetés elérhető Nyelv: angol, olasz The photographic project explores the relationship between the industrial memory, individuals and how nature interacts with them or even takes power over them. The Fabbrica Alta is in the center of Shcio, the author's hometown, an iconic factory building of the golden age of wool production and of the city itself. It is now abandoned despite its recognition as one of the most significant industrial heritage sites in Italy. Brunello believes that photography serves not only as a visual document of cultural memory but also as a vehicle for social transformation and reactivation of forgotten territories and concepts. Jacopo Brunello (b. in 1995) lives and works in Schio (IT). He holds a Bachelor’s diploma in visual arts from the Venice Academy of Fine Arts and a Master’s in photography from IUAV University of Venice. In 2020, he participates in a one-year artist residency in Treviso (IT) at Fabrica, Benetton’s communication research center. In 2022, he undertakes residencies in Rome and Sicily, developing photographic series centered around the local territories. In 2023, he wins the ECHO (European Cultural Heritage Onstage) Academies grant, which includes an artist residency in Budapest (HU), and a one-year support to carry out a photographic project focusing on industrial archaeology of the historical heritage of his hometown, Schio. In 2024, hECTIC bOOKs launches his first photobook published by a publishing house.The book was realized with the support of Pro Progressione as part of the ECHO Academies grant, a Creative Europe project.
