Schedule
The Torah says of Seth’s son, Enos: *“He was first to call the name of the Lord upon the earth.” *The burden of the incomprehensible Holocaust has weighed heavily on the survivors and the generations born in its wake. The fathers and mothers of the next generations continued to teach their children the power of the wonderful Name of the Lord that transcends all understanding.
The children in the 12 photos of the exhibition at PaperLab Gallery are part of a generation who, having left the burden of a never-to-be-forgotten Holocaust behind them, can now look into the future. Invoking the Name of the Lord and giving thanks to Him is the way to the blessings of His love for The Descendants of Seth.
Hungarian House of Photography - Mai Manó House
Mai Manó House – The Hungarian House of Photographers – operates in a studio-house built at the end of 19th century, for the commission of Mai Manó (1855-1917), Imperial and Royal Court Photographer. This special, eight-story neo-renaissance monument is unique in world architecture: we have no knowledge of any other intact turn-of-the-century studiohouse. In addition, it serves its original goal, the case of photography again.
The aim of Mai Manó House is to advance the development of Hungarian photography and raise photography’s national prestige as a distinct form of art.
The institution plays a marked role in the cultural life of Budapest and Hungary, while the organization of exhibitions and programs abroad is getting more and more emphasis within its activities. The reputation of justly world-famous Hungarian photographers of the 20th century offers a great opportunity to regain our old status in the world of photography by the introduction of the generations following those great masters
