Now in its eleventh edition, the Mirror – Face to Face exhibition series has become a well-known and highly regarded international event in the field of contemporary printmaking.

This year, Hungary is the featured guest— a country whose history is deeply intertwined with Italian cultural and artistic traditions.

ENIKŐ CZIGÁNY – UNDER THE SKY, ABOVE THE EARTH
Magtár Gallery

You’re not mistaken if Enikő Czigány’s images featuring geometric patterns seem familiar. A quick search using your phone’s image recognition app might reveal that her ink drawings simultaneously evoke the artificial landscapes captured by satellite technology and the natural transformations of the Moon as seen with the naked eye.

It’s well worth visiting this two-level exhibition at the Granary of the Dubniczay Palace, especially as it marks Enikő Czigány’s debut at the House of Arts Veszprém. >>>

Zoltán Szegedy-Maszák and Márton Fernezelyi have been creating media art installations together for over a quarter of a century, often involving additional collaborators in their projects.

Their artistic approach is continuously renewed through collaboration, the embrace of diverse perspectives, and the integration of various fields of interest—a process that also profoundly influences Szegedy-Maszák’s solo works. >>>

GÁBOR KITZINGER – BURNOUT BULBS: NOISEBOX
f|x|r gallery

Noisebox is a living instrument—an audiovisual spatial installation brought to life not by quiet contemplation, but by noise, rhythm, and play.

At the heart of the space, an analog drum kit awaits the visitor: each strike releases raw energy that instantly transforms the visual and sonic atmosphere of the environment. In this way, the viewer becomes a co-creator, turning the gallery into a joyful playground—or a swirling cosmic vortex.

Gábor Kitzinger’s (Kiégő Izzók/Burnout Bulbs) work can be both experienced and interacted with at the f|x|r gallery until September 14. >>>

THE COLORS OF JAPAN – LIFE / IMAGES FROM HONSHU ISLAND / CSABA TOROCZKAI
Dubniczay Palace

The Colors of Japan exhibition and accompanying book is a unique fusion of photo book and cultural guide. It is not a traditional travel manual, nor a collection of online tourist tips, and certainly not a “casual guide.”Through the eyes of a European photojournalist and an art historian, we explore the natural and cultural heritage of Honshu, Japan’s largest island.The photographs by Csaba Toroczkai are accompanied by the narratives of Bernadett Grászli, offering a rich, multilayered experience of Japan beyond the surface. >>>

TEGULARIUM
Dubniczay Palace

The Tegularium is one of the coolest spots in Veszprém—highly recommended during a heatwave (and any other time too!).

In January 2023, the Tegularium / Brick Collection reopened at the Dubniczay Palace with a refreshed concept and newly added pieces.
