The vision and creativity of György Kepes (1906-2001) and Frank Malina (19120-1981) are best characterized by the concept of universality expressed through experimentation in art, science, technology and radical innovation. The notions of interdisciplinary philosophy date back to a renaissance synthesis of knowledge drawing a long arc through art history.

For years “reconstruction” has been the subject of a heated debate. However, reconstructions can be found since Antiquity, as throughout history buildings have been destroyed and rebuilt if required, for a variety of reasons and with alternating perceptions and definitions of “reconstruction”. The exhibition is presenting and analysing the various motives in favour of reconstructing lost buildings.
The V&A commissioned a group of international architects to build a series of structures throughout the Museum which responded to the theme of the ‘retreat’. The starting point for these experimental projects was the idea of a small enclosed space representing an escape from the chaos of urban life to an area for peace, contemplation, shelter or creativity.

City of Photographers
A book about the photographers of the Esztergom Photo Club.
For several years now people everywhere have been rediscovering inner-city living. Not that this in any way means they are repressing their longing for nature: Urban solutions that satisfy the need for inner-city greenery are increasingly in demand. This, though, must comply with a complex set of aesthetic, ecological, social and economic criteria.
This exhibition looks at Horace Walpole’s extraordinary collection and evokes the magnificent interiors of his house, Strawberry Hill, Britain’s finest example of Georgian Gothic Revival architecture. An influential historian, collector, social commentator and man of letters, Walpole (1717–97) was the youngest son of Sir Robert Walpole, Britain’s first Prime Minister.
The exhibition offers for the first time insight into the contemporary art, poster production and architecture of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which hitherto was mostly not on show in international exhibitions. The exhibition in the MAK was prepared in cooperation with the Korean Art Gallery and the Paektusan Academy of Architecture.
