Not For Thought Alone: The Stuffed Cabbage Project

Curated by Ágnes Berecz

The Hungarian Cultural Center invited select New York- and Budapest-based artists to create works in any media inspired by their sampling of one of Hungary’s favorite dishes: stuffed cabbage. Both a street event and an experimental art project, Not For Thought Alone, will feature works by Jinkee Choi, Ágnes Eperjesi, Miwa Koizumi, Marie Losier, Trong B. Nguyen and Petra Valentova.

Location: Water Street (between Main and Dock Streets), and Brooklyn Bridge Park

(Re)marks From Yesterday For Tomorrow

Curated by Aniko Erdosi

(Re)marks From Yesterday For Tomorrow introduces fresh voices from the contemporary Hungarian art scene to New York. The works share a sensibility for current events such as environmental concerns and issues of civil society.

Their works include a recycling workshop where visitors can create their own handbag or notebook from used fruit juice cartons and street ad vinyl; a collaborative lawnmower project in Brooklyn Bridge Park; a contemporary urban prayer-wheel; and an exchange project of t-shirts with well-known political logos.

Participating Artists:

Richard Garami and Gabor Farkas Varga (including local artists: Gülsen Çalik, Marci MacGuffie, Trong. G. Nguyen), HINTS Group (Tamas Ilauszky, Eszter Agnes Szabo, Aniko Szovenyi), Csaba Nemes, Hajnal Nemeth, PP Group (Katarina Sevic, Zita Majoros), Andrea Schneemeier

Location: Gallery 212, 111 Front Street, DUMBO

The Hungarian Two-Tailed Dog Party—a joke political party in Hungary founded in 2004—presents its peculiar street art in D.U.M.B.O. www.mkkp.hu
