Therapy / Emerging Artists in Hungary Today
Guided Tours for Students
Blinken OSA is organizing a student program in connection with the central exhibition of the Küszöb Festival, “Therapy”, which reflects on the situation of emerging artists, with the aim of starting a dialogue on how young artists see their present and future in Hungary today. The student program will start with a guided tour of the Therapy project and the artworks. After the guided tour, they can try out the board game “OFF-Capitaly”, adapted by its creator to the context of contemporary art. The life-size, interactive, portable board game asks what opportunities young Hungarian artists have in Hungary today; what obstacles they face; what support they can expect; what and how they can make a living while maintaining their independence.
The aim of the program: to reflect with students on the personal and institutional problems that hinder the start of a career in the visual arts, the cost of remedies and the possibilities of creating a sustainable artistic career in Hungary today.
Guided tour: Tamás Don, curator
Duration of the guided tour: about 40 minutes
