Neo-avant-garde and New Wave in Hungarain Photography, 1965 - 2005
Art+Text Budapest is committed to support the presentation and promotion of Hungarian progressive photography in Hungary and abroad. In 2017, together with Fotókultúra BT, the gallery published the seminal work Neo-avant-garde Trends in Hungarian Art Photography, 1965-1984 by Sándor Szilágyi in English, and as part of its photographic programme it has organised solo exhibitions in Hungary (Gábor Kerekes, 2016; Csaba Koncz, 2018) as well as group shows abroad (Photo London, 2018; Paris Photo, 2018). The group exhibition presenting progressive photography between 1964 and 2005 at the Kepes Institute in Eger will take place to further extend this programme.
