Schedule
"Venus, or the Evening Star, is the second-closest planet to the Sun and, after the Moon, the brightest object in the night sky. As it shares many similarities with Earth and is the only planet named after a female figure, it is also known as Earth’s sister. In astrology, it symbolises human emotions – it embodies love, grace, harmony, beauty, aesthetic sensibility and value judgements.
The creation of this series was inspired by Brian Eno and Robert Fripp’s 1975 experimental ambient album *Evening Star*, which I chose instinctively. Whilst listening to the album repeatedly, I selected images from my analogue photographs taken in Japan, following a spontaneous process of association and relying on my intuition. I structured the dramaturgy of the images around the inner rhythm and emotional arc evoked by the music, and complemented them with my own haikus. The initially meditative, dreamlike soundscapes culminate in a disturbing, dissonant rumble, until finally everything falls silent and the lost girl in Tokyo is called back by her planet to reunite with the cosmos.” György Gáspárdy

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.
