How would Vera Molnár’s paintings of intertwined squares and seemingly irregular lines or Gizella Rákóczy's paintings of four-armed spirals changing direction be heard if they were sounds? In the workshop, the participants utilize basic design principles to evaluate visual compositions and then journey into the magical world of sound. In the workshop, where the boundaries between seeing and hearing are blurred by transforming selected works from the exhibition into auditory compositions, objects and sounds from everyday life are used to unleash creativity.

Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
The second part of exhibition illustrates Alberto Giacometti’s relations with Post-Cubist artists and the Surrealist movement between 1922 and 1935, one of the important sculptures series he created during his first years in Paris, and the critical role he played in the art scene of the period.
Giacometti worked nonstop on his sculptures, either from nature or from memory, trying to capture the universal facial expressions.
