Deepfields Special #4: KiRiK & iVANOV at Corvintető This time, two guests arrive from Ukraine for the Deepfields series, who are better introduced by their own appearances, but the names of the publishers who have previously worked together with them might be revealing, as well.

Russian and Ex-Soviet artworks from the Ludwig Museum’s collection at Ludwig Museum One of the most important ambitions of Peter and Irene Ludwig, founders of the Ludwig Museum in Budapest, was to fulfil a mediating role between the former East and West with their cultural activity. From 1979 onwards, the couple paid visits regularly to the one-time Soviet Union, where they began to consistently and consciously purchase and collect artworks representing the development of Post-Stalinist Soviet-Russian art. In the present exhibition the Ludwig Museum intends to present this rather unique collecting activity, based on its own collection containing dozens of artworks never shown in a similar context to the public before.
6pm: Apocalipsis, Nauseahtake, The Hammer, Exterminating Angel, Oaken at Dürer Kert Heavy, heavy, heavy: five bands, unleashing a mix of black-, post-, and sludge-metal, along with hardcore and noise. This program won't go down easy, but we can safely say, that it will be worth its weight.
