As a conceptual artist, Ganahl combines academic, pedagogic, and artistic methods and is concerned with current themes of modern history, living environments, and cultural coding as well as language and media. His intensive occupation with language is shown in interview projects.

In the role of communicator, Liam Gillick examines existing processes and produces new structures. He considers the design and structural aspects of society and places them in a framework for discussion at the interface of analysis and fictional narration. In his modular objects, installations, and spatial interventions, the artist has used a wide range of materials and approaches.

True to the interferences of avant-garde in Berlin–Vienna–Budapest, the exhibition in Frankfurt presents 170 objects d’art including experimental works and suppletory documents based on which contemporary photography, film and theatre art, plastic art, painting an typography would not be the same.

Although some 150 pages of the 1100-paged volume are devoted to modern times, this publication appears to be a static historic work compared to the dynamic world of its author. He underlines that city/architecture „is not an independent genre, but an integral part of regional-urban development.”

The first thing striking us that it is not a bodywork-like, a UFO-object, a veil inspired by fine arts, a symbolic sign, or an image referring to something else – even though it does create a very familiar spatial situation and marks the corner in a highly influential way.

A designer of several emblematic contemporary buildings, Péter Basa Ybl-prized architect died at the age of 46. Among others, he was the designer of the Church of Hungarians Over the Frontier in Budakeszi for which he was awarded Pro Architectura prize and he also contributed to the designs of the Hungarian pavillion built for the Expo in Hannover, 2000.

Functioning to host six groups of children, the building with a ground plan of approximately 1,400 m2 is not opened from the street. Thanks to the local authority the Calvinist church had received two long building sites available for this purpose, which made it possible to have the kindergarten built further at the back of it, far from the busy main road.
