3. Ottó Szabó (Robotto): Earth, Wind and Fire at Longtermhandstand

4. Ekrem Yalcindag: Feels Like Home. Again & Abigail Wirth: In a Nutshell at Molnár Ani Galéria

Impressive and timeless: Ekrem Yalcindag’s monumental ornamental worlds are developed between traditional geometric abstraction and contemporary conceptual art. In most recent group of works, the inclusion of monumental screen and wood printing techniques resulted in a fascinating further development into a new spatial dimension of his work.

The theoretical and emotional background of Abigail Wirth’s work is the everyday experience of neurodivergent existence, with a focus on the possibilities and limitations of self-awareness and self-identity. She presents human emotions and the state of uncertainty in a universal language, in a way that is accessible and freely interpretable.

5. Gábor Fülöp: Biobot at Einspach & Czapolai Fine Art

Gábor Fülöp’s work reinterprets traditional sculpture by exploring the relationship between living organisms, their environment, and the fields of artificial life, artificial intelligence, computational biology, and synthetic biology. His recent sculptures focus on the human body, reimagining its form, identity, and materiality in relation to the natural world and artificial life.

6. Kamilla Szíj: The Path of the Sun at Vintage Galéria

In her latest series, Kamilla Szíj follows the path of the Sun, aiming to capture the presence of sunlight by recording the forms it creates on paper. Szíj has transformed a phenomenon observed in her own home—the early morning light patches that appear during the sunny months—into the subject of her art.

7. Borsos Lőrinc: Neo Inertia & Gábor Lázár: Fundamental Fields (HHK) at acb Galéria

In their latest solo exhibition, showcased at the acb Gallery, the artist duo Borsos Lőrinc leaves behind the darker, pathos-driven world-building strategies that have characterized their recent works. Instead, under the banner of a new fictional art movement, Neo Inertia, they proclaim a poetic apotheosis of “new inertia” and “absence of stakes.”

Gábor Lázár’s three-channel audiovisual installation connects with Hopp-Halász Károly’s exhibition at the acb Plus gallery by translating the artist’s clear and playful visual language from his neo-geo series of the 1980s and 90s into Lázár’s own generative musical and visual style. Designed for three large screens and audio sources, the installation is built on a limited set of visual elements characteristic of Hopp-Halász’s paintings, while the audio and visual content synchronize in real time through a custom software developed specifically for this piece.

8. WOMEN’S QUOTA 01 at The Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art

The works selected for Women’s Quota 01 reveal the stereotypes and discrimination that women have faced – and continue to face – not only in the arts, but in all aspects of life. The works highlight issues concerning the female body, female roles and the status of women artists in different media and genres.
