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.

If Manolo Valdés’s paintings convey a search for materiality, his sculpture does so even more. Today, sculpture has taken over most of his workspace, his time, and his efforts.
Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
When regarding the paintings of Istanbul by western painters, Golden Horn has a distinctive place and value. This body of water that separates the Topkapı Palace and the Historical Peninsula, in which monumental edifices are located, from Galata, where westerners and foreign embassies dwell, is as though an interpenetrating boundary.
