What landscapes do // Art history lecture on landscape art
In connection with our latest exhibition - “Landscape Covered Earth” - Sári Szántó’s presentation will discuss the art historical aspects of landscape painting.
Schedule
What surrounds us, where we are living has inevitably affects us, regardless of age and technical advancements. The idea of landscape is a form of making sense of this surrounding, however it also has its boundaries and contradictions. The perception of nature and ourselves in connection with it still has hidden secrets, and the desire to discover and learn about it is expressed in us again and again.
"Landscapes are created by looking at nature, organising it into a unity and then giving it meaning by imposing our own cultural codes. Hence we often see it as opposed to our world, as something we are outside of. But it is precisely because of this distance that it can take on meaning and act as a mediating medium." This line of thought has been transformed in many ways on the long map of art history, come and see how it has been decoded until nowadays.

Pikszis Culture Point
At Pikszis we collect, consume and display all kinds of art. We have created a multi-functional, cultural community space where everyone is welcome, regardless of their prior level or connection to the arts. Our aim is to make it easier for everyone to explore different art forms by bringing together visual arts, music and more in one institution. Pikszis currently consists of a gallery, a café, a record shop, a vintage store and rooms for different workshops and events. We also have an in-house art school, the Pikszis Analogue Circle, which takes a slightly different approach to teaching people how to create.
