As exhibition curator, the KM– director Sandro Droschl will lead visitors through “Ábstract Hungary” by the Hungarian artist Ákos Ezer. On this joint tour, interested visitors will receive first-hand information about the exhibition’s beginnings, the creative process of this talented up-and-coming artist, and the circumstances related to art production in Hungary. Through a look behind the Künstlerhaus scenes, they will also gain worthwhile knowledge about the curatorial practice and self-conception of this art venue.
