aqb Open House: ZYMURGY

This year's Open House festival at art quarter budapest has chosen a chemical concept as its slogan. Zymurgy means fermentation and fermentation technology, the knowledge of everything related to the fermentation process. It is easy to understand all this metaphorically and, if necessary, self-ironically, because fermentation is close to art: fermentation is a natural process, if certain conditions are met, fermentation creates new qualities, fermentation releases great energy, fermentation is exciting, fermentation signals change. From 24 to 26 May, from Friday to Sunday, the dynamic artistic community of the former Haggenmacher brewery will once again be on show, its transformation from rooftop to cellar will be visible to the public in a multitude of places: the different atmospheres of the studios, the richness of the permanent and occasional exhibition spaces, the unexpectedness of the performances and the whirl of musical events will shape this long but sure maturing festival.
