FridayLight Based Lifeforms @ MÜSZI, noon.
The “Light Based Lifeforms” workshop is designed for illustrators and visual artists as a space for collaboration to mix any illustration technique with programming to create their own behavior patterns and concepts for illuminated avatars.
This workshop focuses on the development of interactive animations, creating an experience of a living world that responds to human contact. Interaction with the animation creates an impression of communication with the artificial living environment. The project aims to link the physical and digital worlds, demanding emotional interactions from spectators and establishing an illusion of an intelligent being. And the best is yet to come: you can also be part of the installation, with no previous knowledge of programming required – you only have to bring your laptop.The Very Best Of Garage Sales @ Diószeghy Sámuel Street, 18:00.
It's just not a Weekend Roundup without a design market or a pop-up thrift shop; this week, it's at the heart of District VIII – but the clothes on sale are worth the trip.
"One man's trash, that's another man's come-up!" – such is the wisdom of Macklemore's famous song. That's what this day is all about: finding your new favorite clothes for a cheap price, buying something for those you love, and having fun. Not to mention that every time you buy something here, you can choose a small surprise for free – so the more you buy, the more you get. If you miss the first date (which is Friday), you can still attend it on the September 9 and 10 (Tuesday and Wednesday).14. ARC Exhibition @ Ötvenhatosok Square, 18:00.
The most thought-provoking urban exhibition is back again for three entire weeks – reflecting on global and local issues.
ARC was founded in 1999 with the aim of refreshing the national culture of promotion in terms of public billboards. In 2000 ARC organized its first billboard contest and exhibition. Since then, Ötvenhatosok Square is populated with the works of individual artists every year for three entire weeks. This year is no exception! World War I started one hundred years ago, the fall of the Berlin Wall happened 25 years ago, and 10 years ago, Hungary joined the European Union. All of them had something to do with walls and barriers, and this will be the main theme of this year's exhibition.Óriás, Jazzékiel @ RoHAM Bar, 20:00.
After a nearly three-year-long hiatus, Jazzékiel is back – and their jazzy hip-hop is darker and more spiritual than before. Before them, Hungary's version of Hot Water Music, Óriás, will play.
After releasing their last album to date, "Holy Shit", Jazzékiel went on a hiatus, although the members continued to play in different bands (Grand Mexican Warlock, the Carbonfools). Although they've released a special vinyl disc on Record Store Day and they are already working on their third album, it's been three years since their last concert. But this isn't the only reason why this night is unmissable: Jazzékiel mixes jazz, hip-hop, and trip-hop with raging guitar riffs and kicking beats in a really unique way; they sound like the children of Portishead and Bohren & der Club Of Gore. Óriás is a trio once again, but this isn't going to stop them from exploding on stage. In fact, they are even better as a trio.
SaturdayIII. (+1) Corvin Movie Night @ Corvin Cinema, 18:00.
Four or even five films for the price of three? Sixteen different films to choose from? From 6pm to 6am? Yes. Go ahead and make your own timetable!
Six different screening rooms. Sixteen different films. One wristband for the price of three tickets, which gives you access to all of the screenings. It is completely up to you to decide how many films you watch. You're into sci-fi? What about Transformers: The Age Of Extinction or X-Men: Days Of The Future Past? If you are the child of the '70s and '80s, check out The Expendables 3, starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Harrison Ford, Dolph Lundgren, and a lot of other old-school action-movie stars. If you love the films of Marvel, check out Guardians Of The Galaxy – and these were just a few options!X. Újbuda Jazz Festival – Orange The Juice, 1/2 Orchestra @ A38 Ship, 19:00.
"Like Fantomas playing jazz standards!" – said a critic about Orange The Juice, and if Mike Patton will ever form a jazz band from the ashes of Tomahawk, well, that would sound like they do.
1/2 Orchestra is a brass project from Moscow, Russia.
1/2 Orchestra plays 'new-age brass' – an eclectic mix of jazz, techno, afrobeat, hip-hop, drum 'n' bass, and funk. Aside from acoustic instruments, the musicians use analog stuff, effects, and processors. Orange the Juice is a Polish band repeatedly awarded at national music contests, mainly for the ingenuity and creative originality of their iconoclastic sound. They are like Frank Zappa covering Meshuggah songs – or just the other way around. Everything can happen, from math-rock to chilling jazz standards to sonic noise terror. Prepare for the unexpected!
Sara Berti: Red Orientalism – Turkish Inspirations @ Brody Studios, 19:00.
The exhibition will present works created by Sara Berti that open new perspectives on Turkey by embedding a connection between different cultures, materials, and textures.
Sara Berti is an Italian fine artist who works in the fields of sculpture, painting, and graphics as well. With her topics, artistic means, and methods, she poses essential questions, querying existence itself. She deals with the human body in its naked, original state, focusing on the center of the body, but without any eroticism. In Sara’s art, nudity is a natural clothing, and highlighting the bodies’ focus points represents creative power, the fertile creativity, the process of creation. She combines classic western figurative tradition with the influences of places where she lived in the past and her current home, Turkey.
Although Sara uses traditional media, she also plays with new materials that she finds around her – for example, she recently transformed material from Oriental markets into art pieces.
Che Sudaka @ Akvárium, 20:00.
The reggae-punk sensation of Barcelona – which was born from the city's street-music scene – is coming back to Budapest for another round of laughter and dance!
Che Sudaka is the product of an instinct for musical experiment and the struggle for life emerging from the unique environment of the street-music scene in the Mediterranean seaport that is Barcelona.
Streets, bars, metros, and the suburban trains of the Cercanía were where they honed their unique musical vibe, as well as their evident showmanship.
Che Sudaka’s debut album “Trippie Town” was dedicated to the “Plaza del Trippie” (Plz. George Orwell) in the old town of Barcelona, a renowned meeting place for street musicians from all over the world and a source of inspiration for a fusion of different styles.
Loaded with all these musical influences, their first album presents ten songs that take the listener on a journey from reggae, ragga, and rumba to drum 'n' bass and Argentinean folk music. And since their first album they've only gotten better!SundayPöttömkert – When Kids Rule Budapest Park @ Budapest Park, 10:00.
An all-day program for youngsters with a design and book market, children's yoga activities, and a lot more!
For a day, Budapest Park will turn into a peewee playhouse, where everything is about fun!
Check out the book and design market, children's yoga activities, and the concert of Eszter-lánc Fabula Band – these are just few of the programs. The kiddies can also attend a special show with police cars. If you are planning to spend some time with your family during the weekend, here is the ideal program.Budapest Rooftop Cinema: Shop-Stop & Plastic Heaven Clip Premiere @ Corvintető, 21:00.
The rooftop terrace of Corvintető turns into a cinema every week, for a night or two. They screen films on a super-big, seven-meter-long canvas. There will be popcorn too! This time, they'll screen Clerks, directed by Kevin Smith.
When Dante Hicks (Brian O'Halloran) is reluctantly put in charge of the Quick Stop market on his day off, he tries, though half-heartedly, to perform his minimum-wage duties as efficiently as possible. This gets tough amidst an ongoing fight with his girlfriend, Veronica (Marilyn Ghigliotti), and his attempt to get back together with his ex-girlfriend, Caitlyn Bree (Lisa Spoonhauer). Meanwhile, his friend and alter ego Randall (Jeff Anderson) is working behind the counter of the adjacent video store – at least when he feels like it. Randall's unabashed disdain of his place of employment, along with his self-admitted hatred towards its customers, is in sharp contrast to Dante's feeble attempts at performing the niceties of customer service. Much of the film consists of Randall and Dante's criticism of their customers, their lives, and the world in general. Clerks, filmed in black-and-white on a budget of only $27,000, launched the career of writer/director/actor Kevin Smith, who would go on to make Mallrats (1995), Chasing Amy (1997), Dogma (1999), and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001).Nadja, Oaken @ A38 Ship, 20:00.
Nadja is the duo of Aidan Baker & Leah Buckareff, alternately based in Toronto and Berlin, exploring the heavier and noisier side of experimental and ambient guitar-based music. Their support act will be an acoustic set by the Oaken from Hungary.
A one-time-only concert: Nadja will do a special, more ambient-ish show with special visuals at A38. Although there aren't two similar Nadja concerts, just like they haven't released two similar albums, this will be an even more unique night – the duo carefully selected the songs that perfectly fit the exhibition space of the ship. Before them, Oaken will play a special, acoustic set – it will be strange to hear the acoustic version of their heavy, angry, crust-punk hymns.
