lecture in English | The Kassák Museum: An Open Museum of the Avant-Garde

The Kassák Museum was established in 1976 in Budapest, as a part of the Petőfi Literary Museum. It has stored, published and exhibited the literary and artistic estate of Lajos Kassák, a leading figure of Hungarian avant-garde for more than forty years now. During the past decade, the exhibition and research programme of the Kassák Museum was renewed by directors Edit Sasvári, and Merse Pál Szeredi, respectively. The presentation addresses the questions raised by the current programme of the Kassák Museum, situating the art and legacy of Lajos Kassák and the Hungarian avant-garde in the Central European cultural field.
