Our weekly roundup for the upcoming weekend offers plenty of suggestions for where to go, what to do, and who must not be missed during the next three days. There are always so many happenings to choose from in Budapest – club parties, exhibits, live music, cocktails, performances, and more – but here is our pick of the bunch for the imminent 72 hours or so:

Friday

9am - : Insight Through Art exhibit at Tárt Kapu Gallery Fascinating artworks by autistic people from Hungary and Germany can now be seen together for the first time. With astounding themes, intriguing compositions, and bright colors, Budapest's Insight Through Art exhibit offers a rare peek into the ordinarily closed world of autistic people. The show features works of German and Hungarian artists living with autism, including drawings created in the Art Program of the Mosoly Otthon Foundation, and akku – Autismus Kunst und Kultur, which promotes autistic artists.

9am - : 15. BrandFestival at Budapest Music Center BrandFestival is one of the most significant strategic conferences and regular professional summits in Central Europe.

noon - : Veronika Jakatics-Szabó: Supra urbem at Molnár Ani GalleryVeronika Jakatics-Szabó appears again as ’urbanus pictus’, that is city painter, creating a private mythology in the public exhibition space. Using elements of the everyday life in a city as a starting point she gets to fundamental existential questions by not only visualizing individual perception and emotions, but also reflecting on political and social phenomena.
2pm - : Vernissage – Tilo Schulz: There is a hole in the back of my head and I enjoy looking out of it at ACB GalleryBerlin-based artist Tilo Schulz presents his work for the first time in acb Gallery in the scope of a solo exhibition. His works are complex environments that incorporate several branches of art – painting, architecture, sculpture, and poetry. Hinged on visual and spatial perception, his installations gain meaning through the social and cultural connotations related to materials, shapes and spaces. Throughout the more than 20 years of his career, Tilo Schulz has participated in a number of international shows. He has had solo exhibitions at the Sezession in Vienna, the Kunstverein in Hannover and the Haus der Kunst in Munich, to mention a few. His installation Moments of Solution (the world is still not ready) has been on view at the Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton in Venice during the 2015 Venice Biennale.
6pm - : Taiwan Dox – Taiwanese Documentary Festival at Toldi Cinema The Taipei Representative Office and the Palantír Foundation are organizing the Taiwan Dox - Taiwan Documentary Festival at Toldi Cinema between October 29 and 31.

8pm - : She Past Away, Pornography, DJ Drama at ShowBarlang She Past Away is described as the “new dark-wave” in articles and reviews throughout the world. SPA brings back that dark and sensational side of ’80s with today’s approach and Turkish lyrics which gives the band that unique edge.

8pm - : Trafó Electrify Series Volume 8 – Gazelle Twin, Lucretia Dalt, Palmovka at Trafó Gazelle Twin is the creation of British composer, producer, and artist, Elizabeth Bernholz. Her live performance personas and musical work have gathered critical acclaim internationally since her first full length release in July 2011. Most recently she completed and released the album “Unflesh”, a highly visual and challenging piece of “horror-pop” exploring body-centric themes such as puberty and phobia, and named as the best album release of 2014 by the Quietus. Led by distinctly visual themes, Bernholz often works collaboratively with other filmmakers, artists and musicians, often directly attempting to challenge traditional approaches to recorded music and live performance.
11pm - : Therapy Sessions Halloweeen – Katharsys, The Sect, Migu, Parano!d at A38 ShipKatharsys began in 2001 when Hugo and Tom, start producing their first drum and bass tracks, inspired by the dark grooves and demented beats of artists such as Tech Itch, Dylan, Kemal, Konflict, Photek and Ice Minus to name just a few.

Katharsys, from the ancient Greek word “catharsis”, meaning the emotional cleansing of the audience in relation to drama, is an extreme change in emotion. The main focus of the duo is to create intense sounds which evoked that kind of extreme changes, into electronic music.

Growing up hooked to the bleeps and breaks of the Prodigy and London’s pirate-radio stations, Blade and Virtua, aka the Sect, followed the development of jungle to drum ’n’ bass, eventually finding themselves drawn to the futuristic output of labels such as Underfire and Renegade Hardware – and in particular, the techno-edged Konflict sound. After meeting through friends in the late 1990s, they have been producing drum ’n’ bass together ever since.Sunday

7pm - : Son Lux, Olga Bell at Dürer Kert He’s a songwriter for the 21st century, an artist who takes advantage of all the means at his disposal in order to achieve his goal. And you have to admit, he’s very effective, whether he’s composing an intimate yet monumental hymn that combines folk with avant-pop sounds, or a film score like the one for Looper. If the company an artist keeps has any bearing on his class, suffice it to say that Ryan his collaborated with the likes of Sufjan Stevens, Richard Parry (Arcade Fire), and Lorde. And if it’s the concerts rather than the company… well, you’ll see.

7pm - : Our Last Night, Palisades, Crooks at Dürer Kert New Hampshire-based post-hardcore band Our Last Night was formed in 2004.

Combining the melodic structures of emo with the guttural sounds of hardcore, their demos quickly found their way to Epitaph Records, where label owner Brett Gurewitz took interest in the band’s maturity and wide-ranging vocals.

Formed in 2011, Palisades are a post-hardcore band based out of Iselin, New Jersey. With a sound that channels the melody and fury of bands like the Deftones into a crunching, breakdown-heavy sound, they create a sound that doesn’t sacrifice accessibility in its pursuit of aggression.
9pm:

Silent films – with music: Ádám Czitrom & Ilka Kisgyörgy
at Kisüzem Silent and muted films with improvised, experimental music as a soundtrack. This time, guitarist Ádám Czitrom and vocalist Ilka Kisgyörgy will play.
