In recent years the house of arts in Dortmund ever and anon has made a well shaped contribution to the festival scene:nrw. The Hungarian title of the this year’s exhibition with current works by artists from Budapest and Pécs is understandable for the German audience without translation aid. It signifies the desired continuance of the new contacts between Hungarian and German artists. But in its simple configuration the title may ignores the effort and the intensity of the works showed in the exhibition however.
The “walkable mountains” by István Csákány show the interest of the curators Willi Otremba, Hajnal Szolga and Hannes Woidich in space-oriented installations best. Location specific works were ever since an important component in the program of the house of arts. With the Hungarian works we establish this
tradition here.
