Meaning at Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center The idea of the imminent intellectual community of the three artists was conceived by Péter Forgács after seeing the solo exhibitions of the other two artists in 2013: the compare (cf.) by Marcell Esterházy and the NeueOrdnung (New Order) by GáborGerhes. This hypothetical community constitutes the starting point of the present exhibition, titled Meaning. The three artists do not form a collective; Meaning juxtaposes three solo exhibitions in order to explore the connections between the three artistic practices, to get them together, and to testify to their common ways of thinking.

Waves – interactive installation / Elektro Moon Vision at Platán Gallery Waves is an interactive installation which describes spontaneous situation, as well as experiences. Visually the screening reminds us of the movement of sea waves, which react to each interaction with a person. That’s why the audience can influence their shape, frequency, and density. Each interplay is unique and inimitable, which results from new configurations of processed digital data. This kind of phenomenon was an inspiration for artists during the creation of this installation. Work refers to the one of the most important happening in Polish art at the end of the ’60s – to "Panoramiczny Koncert Morski" created by Tadeusz Kantor.

Their previous St. George’s performance has gone on record as the only occasion we can remember when an act got a unanimous standing ovation at intermission. Formed in 1992, HHT has worked with Frank Zappa, Kronos Quartet, and the Chieftains. To see them live is an experience to remember forever.
