Our exhibition presents the works of György Csete (1937–2016), one of the founding fathers of Hungarian organic architecture, and his wife, the textile artist Ildikó Csete (1940–2018), together with the works of the Pécs Youth Office from the 1970s, an architectural association led by György Csete that operated between 1970 and 1976 and was later known as the Pécs Group.

János Géczi is one of the last polymaths. A scholar of biology, he has published research on cultural history and anthropology; as a creator, he is known primarily as an author and poet, but his experimentation with artistic visual languages (initially in close association with high literature, gradually becoming increasingly autonomous) also goes back several decades.

Antal Vásárhelyi’s fictitious, sacred or secret spaces and compositions simultaneously reveal the perfect forms of nature and geometry, wholeness and detail, thus modelling the universe. His pure structures are constructed with rigorous, engineering precision. In his spatially segmented, perfectly designed symmetrical canvases and graphic works, he adopts the rules of the golden ratio to create harmony, representing eternal values.

At the beginning of his career, before the First World War, as a leading figure of the so-called 'Young Ones', he created several masterpieces of Hungarian architecture, and later built a home for himself and his family in Staná, in the Kalotaszeg region of Transylvania. Simply known as Crow Castle, his house is now a place of pilgrimage.

The 3rd National Salon of Architecture, titled Local Value, invites visitors to think together. In the exhibition with the sigma sign as its logo, which summarises Hungarian architecture of the last five years both within and beyond the borders, visitors can explore various architectural ideas grouped around inescapable issues related to the most important challenges of our time.

Márton Nemes’ work is influenced by techno subcultures; the explosion and rearrangement of the pictorial field gives a psychedelic character to his paintings that evoke the visual atmosphere of today’s nightclubs. Combining painterly and sculptural elements, his multimedia installations create a hypnotic spatial dynamic that propels the viewer from the harshness of the real world into a fluid, dizzying colour field.
