What is cucumber season?
   The time between beggining of July till August 21th is called cucumber season in Hungary. Beside the obvious peak time for cucumbers and making the delicious sun pickeled kovászos uborka most people go to vacation during these two months. Because of this finishing  administration in the city or simplly having a coffee with a friend who is Budapest at the same time as you, can become a chalenge. At Cucumber Season everything is slowed down and in the "siesta-mode".

Reimagining the near past and constructing local identities

This survey presentation on the themes of context and identity in contemporary Hungarian art, based on a 9-month research period in Hungary, features critical, Conceptual recent artworks that investigate historical consciousness. Projects by artists such as József Szolnoki, Szabolcs KissPál, Gergely László, Andreas Fogarasi, Zsolt Keserue, and Csaba Nemes can be linked in their quasi-documentary, quasi-imaginative investigations of a specifically Hungarian past. These artworks also illustrate the roles of context and identity. While arguably these works enlarge ideas of identity beyond the traditional nationalist concept, their heavily contextual nature can be problematic in engaging not only the international viewer but also the local Hungarian audience.
Historical consciousness refers not to history itself, but how history has been told, what has gone unmentioned, and a questioning of the systems and motivating forces behind this process. And perhaps most importantly, what is the role of the past in the present? A brief consideration of recent changes in the cultural scene, cultural politics, activist art, and related protests brings the discussion into the present day.

Linnea West is currently a 2012-13 Fulbright Fellow in Art History at the Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Art-Budapest before returning to the U.S. to pursue graduate studies in contemporary art and theory. She has written the contemporary art blog Art Ravels (www.linneawest.com/blog) since 2008 and has a background in publishing in New York City. She recently curated BORDERS (www.bordersexhibition.wordpress.com), the first-ever exhibition of Fulbright artists, exploring the notion of geographical and cultural boundaries.

from 20.15h - Party -  Éqouter jazz band

Yunus Baydur speaking about his band: "Band Écouter was founded in the Spring of 2004, in Budapest, by three enthusiastic fellows. What's this band about? Maybe, turning bedside blues to raw riffs and then into pickled melodies... Who knows? All we can say is that this drowsy tousled youngster, in his dizzy moments awake, is confident that humming and mumbling he will still save the world. Tonight though, it'll be a single reed and some strings."

ASiB Goes to Museum


Sylvia Sleight: Cesarian nude- Paul Rosano, 1975
This month Art School in Budapest is taking you to Ludwing Museum for a guided tour of the exhibition

The Naked Man 
Saturday, May 18th, 15-16h

Join us and learn how social changes in the past 100 years have been shaping the male identity and the way male nude is presented in visual arts.  See how some of the male artists have approached their own nudity and also how female artists have conquered a theme that had long been forbidden to them. Come to explore  the topic of male nude in visual arts through the history of the 20th and 21st centuries, through crises of identity and phases of sovereignity, the questioning of traditional male role models, the search for alternatives, the face up to weakness and vulnerability, the gaze of desire and the erotic pose.  
(note: Some of the works of art may be of a sexually explicit nature,  parental guidance is advised)


Everone is warmly welcome!

Fee: 2700Ft 
(2100Ft for the enrance ticket + 600Ft for the guided tour)


Please register till May 16th, noon at artschoolbudapest@gmail.com
