Temporary Exhibition
Calculations and Coincidences brought together three pioneers of algorithmic art—Vera Molnár, Dóra Maurer, and Gizella Rákóczy—through their works from the Hungarian National Bank Collection. The exhibition focused primarily on the profound influence of Molnár, who was unquestionably among the most significant names in computer art while tracing how the artistic explorations of Maurer and Rákóczy expanded the boundaries of abstraction through the integration of algorithms and mathematics.

A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.
The exhibition Look at Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection examines portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Through the exhibition we will be sharing about the artists and sections in Look At Me!.
