ART MARKET
INSPIRING GATHERING
↔ You can mingle and browse for four days
at the yearly Budapest Art Market, located
in a huge former industrial space in the
center of Buda. The market allows galleries
and exhibitors from Hungary and over 35
other countries, many of them from Central
and Eastern Europe, to showcase their latest
collections and introduce the fresh faces of
the contemporary art scene. Last year, this
attracted over 30,000 international visitors.
Entry is free. October 12-15, Millenáris – Listing

EXHIBIT
FLUXUS AND FRIENDS
→ Fluxus was one of the 20th century’s most
elemental movements, based on a spirit of
rebellion against the commercial art market,
elitism, and the conventions of both art and
society but also eluding rigid definitions. The
Fluxus Manifest was rebellious and as such
can be interpreted as a continuation of the
movements of Dada, surrealism, action art, and
the ephemeral art of the 1960s. Selected from
the collection of Maria and Walter Schnepel’s
Cultural Foundation, the hundreds of works by
the most famous international and Hungarian
Fluxus artists represent a broad palette of the
movement. Ludwig Museum – Listing p.14, www.
