PRO FORMA - BPF2024 | Curatorial guided tour
Schedule
Curatorial guided tour of the temporary exhibition PRO FORMA Abstract tendencies in contemporary Hungarian photography.
Attempts to redefine abstract art are not a recent phenomenon in the contemporary photographic art scene, as they have gained increasing prominence in recent decades, alongside the dominance of subjective approaches and narrative photo series.
Kiscelli Museum
The Kiscelli Museum and its 15 hectares of parkland are located in the 3rd district of Budapest, between Óbuda and Remetehegy. The 18th century Baroque church and Trinitarian monastery, built by the Zichy family, was used as a barracks by the army in the 19th century. In 1910 it became the property of furniture manufacturer Miksa Schmidt, who later had it converted into a castle, hence the name Schmidt Castle. It is now home to the Budapest History Museum's collection of Modern Urban History and the Budapest City Gallery, the fine arts collection.
