On the occasion of the current
Bartók Memorial Year
, this international exhibition looks at the Hungarian composer’s legacy through the means of contemporary art.
Béla Bartók’s work offers countless points of contact for reflections and interpretations in visual and sound art. In addition to considering the musical legacy, the exhibiting artists seek to establish vantage points for the examination of the oeuvre through a scrutiny of cultural anthropological and media-historical evidence, as well as of personal material related to the composer. They also attempt to assess
Bartók’
s influence on his own age and on our times.
