Film screening and discussion Gizella Rákóczy - Posthumous Portrait (2024) (22')
Gizella Rákóczy is a leading figure in Hungarian and international geometric art. The painter has had difficulties with verbal and personal expression throughout her 40-year career of intense and intense work. In the absence of interviews with him, we recall his personality, his creative methods and his ars poetics through the eyes of his peers, art historians, friends and students. The In-Spiral Art Foundation's documentary film can serve as a reference point for those encountering his work for the first time, and invites those who knew him to share his memory.
Anna Rákóczy (musician), Zsófia Raffay (director-operator), László Százados, Tamás Török (art historians), Emil Tóth Márton (visual artist). Krisztina Szipőcs (art historian, curator of the Time Machine exhibition).
Ludwig Museum
The Ludwig Museum - Museum of Contemporary Art, located in Müpa, is the first museum in Hungary to exclusively collect contemporary art.
