SUMMARY:TO BE CURIOUS – A Glance at Hungarian Contemporary Photography
DESCRIPTION:The Liszt Institute\, Hungarian Cultural Centre London\, is proud to present TO BE CURIOUS — A Glance at Hungarian Contemporary Photography\, a group exhibition by TOBE Gallery Budapest. \nContemporary photography is always fertile ground for curiosity: it raises questions\, responds sensitively to the present\, and offers new perspectives on interpreting reality. The exhibition TO BE CURIOUS — A Glance at Hungarian Contemporary Photography presents works by artists such as Máté Bartha\, Kincső Bede\, Anna Fabricius\, Ádám Magyar\, Katharina Roters\, Júlia Standovár\, and Wanda Martin\, who\, through different approaches yet with a shared sensitivity\, engage with important issues of our time. \nTheir works move along the boundary between personal and collective experience: questions of identity\, layers of memory\, and the uncertainties and tensions of the present all emerge in them. The images do not merely document\, but also interpret and reorganise\, while creating space for quiet observation and reflection. \nHere\, curiosity is not only an attitude\, but also a method: a tool for understanding\, doubt\, and discovery. The exhibition invites viewers not to seek ready-made answers\, but to approach what they see with openness and sensitivity\, connecting with the works through their own questions. \nJoin us for the exhibition opening on Tuesday\, 19 May\, 6.30 – 8.30 PM. The evening will include a book presentation by Wanda Martin on her photography book\, The Ballad of Eternal Youth. Opening remarks by TOBE Gallery. RSVP via Eventbrite. \nProgramme: \n6.30 PM Doors open \n7.00 PM Book presentation by Wanda Martin \nThe exhibition is on view 20 May – 12 June 2026\, Mondays – Fridays 11.00 AM – 6.00 PM. \nExhibiting artists: \n\nMáté Bartha\nKincső Bede\nAnna Fabricius\nÁdám Magyar\nKatharina Roters\nJúlia Standovár\nWanda Martin

SUMMARY:HubArt Theatre Company: Magic Cube - A play about friendship\, migration\, and finding home
DESCRIPTION:Join us this May for the performance of Magic Cube\, a contemporary drama by the London-based Hungarian theatre company\, HubArt. \nSix childhood friends\, two countries\, and a thousand miles between them. How do you keep a bond alive when life scatters you across Europe? Some stayed in Hungary to build a future at home\, while others moved to London to seek a new start. Through laughter and heartache\, the play follows their journey across life’s major milestones – career shifts\, marriages\, and the search for belonging. \nJust like the Rubik’s Cube\, their lives are constantly being twisted and turned by time and distance. Can they ever align the colours again\, or has the “game” become too complex to solve? Magic Cube is an honest\, relatable\, and often humorous reflection on the modern Hungarian diaspora and the enduring power of the chosen family. \nThe play is approximately 75 minutes long and will be performed in English. \n\nDirector: Blanka Molnár \nWritten by: The HubArt Ensemble \nCast: \nOrsi Antalóczy- Gabi \nAttila Bongyán- Bálint \nAnita Hornai- Natália \nÁron Kun- Alajos \nBlanka Molnár- Zita \nBarbara Tatai- Gizi \nSet and costume design: \nCsenge Réka Horváth \n\n\nAbout HubArt – Hungarian Theatre Company \nHubArt is a London-based Hungarian theatre society dedicated to bringing contemporary Hungarian culture to the UK stage. Led by Blanka Molnár\, the company focuses on creating original works and adaptations that resonate with the experience of living between two cultures. Since its founding\, HubArt has become a vital hub for the Hungarian creative community in London\, performing at venues like the Hen and Chickens Theatre\, Playground Theatre and participating in international festivals such as the Voila! Theatre Festival. Their mission is to bridge the gap between languages and borders through the universal power of storytelling. \n\n\nDon’t miss this sincere and powerful production that explores what it truly means to come home\, whether that is a place on a map or the people we love – registration is open on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Tomi Balogh – A Reason To Listen – Album pre-release show
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome back London-based pianist\, composer\, and producer\, Tomi Balogh\, to the Liszt Institute London for a special pre-release concert of his newest album\, A Reason To Listen. \n\nA Reason To Listen is his most personal work to date. Inspired by his son Samuel\, who was diagnosed with a rare genetic syndrome shortly after birth\, the album is a meditation on unconditional love\, on finding joy in unexpected places\, and on learning to let go of expectations. It is a story that extends far beyond one family — a reminder that every person deserves to be loved exactly as they are. \n\n\nJoining Tomi for this special evening are featured collaborators from the album: Rick Leon James the multi-instrumentalist\, bass player and producer\, Zsofi Bartal flautist\, Selina Albright\, vocalist and Daniel Deej John on drums. Together\, they bring the album to life in an intimate live setting before its release to the world. \nAlongside the music\, Tomi is partnering with charities that support families raising children with additional needs – and this concert is part of that wider conversation. \nAdmission is free. Registration via Eventbrite is required.

SUMMARY:The Song of the Cosmos – Attila József Selected Poems (Shearsman Books\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Book Launch and Conversation with Editor and Translator Ágnes Lehóczky and Adam Piette \nThe translations by Piette and Lehóczky form a five-year-long project with an ambition to translate a significant selection of the poems of the modernist\, socialist\, working-class Hungarian poet\, Attila József (1905-1937). József lived a poverty-stricken\, passionate\, and unstable life as a wanderer\, a bohemian\, a poet\, a thinker\, a non-conformist\, a hobo\, and a lover till his untimely death by suicide\, struck by a train\, in Balatonszárszó on Lake Balaton\, aged only 32. His poetry is surrealist\, existentialist\, Villonesque\, tough-minded\, quasi anarchist\, deeply drenched in Hungarian folklore and the folk song\, passionate\, lyrical\, elegiac\, marked by his solitary wandering\, his keen observation of the lives of the people\, by his psychoanalytically inflected gaze into the unconscious\, into the mind and body of lovers\, his philosophical focus on dialectic and social injustice. \nThe lyrics\, free verse and formal\, in an astonishing number of experimental forms\, range from the metaphysical to the memoir\, have filiations to French medieval\, post-symbolist and surrealist poetry\, fuse Nietzsche\, Marx\, Hegel and Freud in daring raids on the inarticulate\, sing with haunting vernacular and ancient beauty and rise to extraordinary heights and flights of the imagination\, yet are always grounded in the real\, in the concrete particulars of the metropolis\, the dark streets of the underclasses of this world. \nThis bilingual volume presents a chronological selection of József’s poetry\, featuring both English translations and the original Hungarian texts. With introductions and afterwords by Ágnes Lehóczky\, George Szirtes\, György Tverdota\, Aranka Kemény and Adam Piette\, the book aims to recreate ‘The Song of the Cosmos’\, an unpublished collection József envisioned in the early 1920s. ‘Cosmos’ here isn’t the physical universe but rather the soul expanded to cosmic proportions\, a ‘universe imbued with a political subject’. The volume incorporates a faithful and playful reconstruction of the original graphic design\, conceived by József’s artist friend György Békeffi in the 1920s. \nÁgnes Lehóczky \nÁgnes Lehóczky’s poetry collections published in the UK are Budapest to Babel (Egg Box\, 2008)\, Rememberer (Egg Box\, 2012)\, Carillonneur (Shearsman\, 2014)\, Swimming Pool (Shearsman\, 2017)\, Lathe Biosas\, or on Dreams & Lies (Crater Press\, 2023) and Apropos Paradise Square (Pamenar Press\, 2025). She also has three full poetry collections in Hungarian published in Budapest: Ikszedik stáció (Universitas\, 2000)\, Medalion (Universitas\, 2002) and Palimpszeszt (Magyar Napló\, 2015). \nShe is the author of the academic monograph Poetry\, the Geometry of Living Substance – comprising four essays on the poetry of Ágnes Nemes Nagy (2011). Her pamphlet Pool Epitaphs and Other Love Letters was published by Boiler House Press (2017). She co-edited major international anthologies: the Sheffield Anthology (Smith/Doorstop\, 2012) with Adam Piette\, The World Speaking Back to Denise Riley (Boiler House\, 2018) with Zoë Skoulding\, Wretched Strangers (Boiler House\, 2018) with J. T. Welsch and most recently the ‘Monk Collective’ with Adam Piette (Blackbox Manifold\, 2023). Fission of Being – Endnotes on Earthbound was commissioned by The Roberts Institute of Art\, London in 2021. She is Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing and Director of the Centre for Poetry and Poetics at the University of Sheffield. Lehóczky edited The Song of the Cosmos – Attila József Selected Poems (Shearsman Books\, 2026) which she co-translated with Adam Piette. \nAdam Piette \nAdam Piette is Professor of Modern Literature at Sheffield. He is the co-editor of the international contemporary poetry journal Blackbox Manifold with Alex Houen. He is author of Remembering and the Sound of Words: Mallarmé\, Proust\, Joyce\, Beckett; Imagination at War: British Fiction and Poetry\, 1939-1945\, and The Literary Cold War\, 1945 to Vietnam. He edited the special issue of Translation and Literature on “Modernism and Translation”\, The Salt Companion to Peter Robinson with Katy Price (2007) and The Edinburgh Companion to Twentieth-Century British and American War Literature with Mark Rawlinson (2012). His poetry collections are: nights as dreaming (Constitutional Information / earthbound press)\, CCCLXV with Crater Press (October 2025)\, and Lies Blurring Here with Broken Sleep (2026).

SUMMARY:Wandering the World\, Wondering How to Return – Monodrama in One Act – When Diary Notes Grow into Literature
DESCRIPTION:For five years\, acting student Anna Torner travelled across the world\, documenting her experiences and inner journey in blog posts. From London to South America\, from India to New Zealand\, her travel journals eventually grew into her 2024 novel\, Itt sem fogunk élni (~We Won’t Live Here Either)\, which traces a young woman’s coming-of-age through her diary entries. \n\nIn 2025\, Boglárka Berecz and Mátyás Dögei adapted the book for the stage\, with Péter Vargyas composing its music and writing the lyrics. Thus was born the monodrama Wandering the World\, Wondering How to Return–a sensitive and humorous theatrical piece that takes the audience through this intimate journey of self-discovery. \nThroughout Anna Torner’s creative path – moving between writing and acting – her blog posts evolved into works of literary merit\, while acting became a defining part of her life. \nJoin us for this special performance\, which aims to offer us all relatable touchstones and answers. \n\n\n\nSynopsis \nIt takes one hour to fly from Budapest to Târgu Mureș. Travelling through England\, Asia\, and South America – sometimes by bicycle\, car\, train\, on foot\, by bus\, ship\, truck\, ferry\, tractor\, boat\, or motorbike – alone\, but never completely alone\, the same journey can take five years. \nThe journey matters more than the destination. I move like a ghost through a Parisian apartment. Pink ponies in London. In the junky quarter\, I swim across the canal with you. We cycle around Southeast  Asia and New  Zealand. Without you\, I hitchhike on Mexican trucks\, my Christmas dinner is green banana boiled with callaloo leaves\, and I rewrite the rules of wild camping. Don’t look for happiness outside. I try what’s worth trying in Colombia\, dance at a Kichwa celebration in Ecuador\, travel through Peru with Tata\, and get close to the Big Dipper itself. Without you. Home is within you. By the time I return\, maybe my phone will finally ring. \nThe performance runs 1 hour and 15 minutes and will be performed in English. \n\n\n\nDirector: Boglárka Berecz\nDramaturg and musical director: Mátyás Dögei\nPerformed by: Anna Torner\nLive music and vocals: Péter Vargyas\n\n\n\nWhen a young woman gathers her savings and buys a one-way ticket to Mexico – and keeps going\, farther and farther still – she can be sure to stumble upon a thousand little stories along the way. She sleeps in roadside motels\, trucks\, tents\, and pay toilets. Cooks banana soup in a Rasta hut in Belize\, finds surrogate parents in Peru\, argues with soldiers in the Indian mountains\, and ends up in a quarantine hostel in New Zealand. She babysits\, fries doughnuts\, tends bar\, and shears sheep. She makes friendships for life. Sometimes she curses the very idea of living in the moment – and herself. Because what are a thousand adventures compared to a fulfilled love? Then she’s off again\, speeding into the sunset on a truck bed. Or moves into a flat on Dob Street\, Budapest. And then moves on once more\, always farther – until… What does it really mean to arrive? \nAnna Torner travelled the world for five years. Her novel – born from blog entries and perhaps letters never sent – is both a travelogue and a diary\, written for those who keep searching\, with endless curiosity\, for their own path. \nLeonidasz Purosz\, editor of Itt sem fogunk élni (~We Won’t Live Here Either)

SUMMARY:Roma Routes – Art\, Identity\, and Expression from Hungary
DESCRIPTION:Join us on 8 April to mark International Roma Day for Roma Routes\, an evening of photography\, film\, and contemporary art exploring the journeys that shape Roma identity. Bringing together documentary work from a collaborative project in Tiszavasvári\, Hungary\, and artistic reflections by London-based Roma artist Robert Czibi\, the exhibition traces connections between place\, memory\, and belonging. Through images\, stories\, and personal perspectives\, Roma Routes invites audiences to reflect on how identity is shaped between the places we come from and the places we continue to become.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two intertwined narratives: the story of a segregated Roma community in Tiszavasvári\, and that of an artist born in another Roma neighbourhood in the same region who has carried its memory across borders.\n\nThe first story is that of collaboration: stepping across internal borders between the countryside and the Hungarian capital\, Budapest\, to involve participants from the Roma neighbourhood of a small town in the North-East of Hungary in a collaborative writing project with local non-Roma residents through the publication of the periodical Duj Dzséne – Ketten – Two Together.\n\nThe second story is of the artist\, Robert Czibi who crossed internal borders of identity and the physical borders of countries on many occasions before finding his expressive voice in the multiplicity of London’s lingua-culture. The simultaneity of identity as rootedness in Roma origins and identity as motion and interaction with our surroundings is what unites the two narratives that unfold in the images exhibited together.\n\n\nThe Road Ahead\nDocumentary and Photography Projects from Hungary – Film and photography\n\nThis photo exhibition was created in collaboration between photojournalist Márton Kállai\, multiple-winner of the Hungarian Press Photo Competition\, and the Tiszavasvári Roma Girls’ Youth Club\, on the initiative of the KRE Linguistic Diversity and Social Participation research group at Károli Gáspár University in Budapest. Together\, Roma and non-Roma participants from Tiszavasvári and Budapest write and publish the journal Duj Dzséne – Ketten – Two Together\, creating a narrative of trust and belonging about Roma futures and the coexistence of Roma and non-Roma in Hungary. The documentary film Duj Dzséne – Ketten – Two Together: Stories of a collaborative journal in support of Roma social participation showcases stages from their journey together: how they forged a collaborative writing and research collective across the borders of identity that separate people living alongside each other.\n\n\n\n\nThere I Was Born\, Here I Become\nContemporary Art\n\nRobert Czibi’s artistic response unfolds as a parallel journey alongside the documentary and the photos. Although Robert’s works reflect his individual journey as a London-based Roma artist from Hungary\, his journey explores the potentialities that open up when collectives or individuals persistently criss-cross and interrogate physical and narrative borders of identity. Through his works\, he returns to the landscapes of his childhood not only to remember\, but to understand how identity is formed between the place of birth and the place of becoming. Through images\, he explores what it means to grow up in a Roma family\, to leave it behind\, and to continue carrying its imprint in his works.

SUMMARY:Meet the artist - Guided Tour & Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Led by Géza Starmüller\, this workshop takes a participatory artistic format\, fostering direct dialogue between artists and audiences. Participants are encouraged to engage in shared creative processes and moderated discussions\, exploring themes of philosophy\, history\, and contemporary art. The programme moves beyond traditional presentation models\, emphasising collaboration\, critical thinking\, and collective reflection in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. \nThe guided tour offers an open platform where artistic practice and intellectual exchange meet in a live\, communal\, and warm setting. \n\n\nGéza Starmüller (b. 1966\, Cluj) is a contemporary visual artist and sculptor based in Transylvania. The fourth generation of artists in his family\, his practice is rooted in a lifelong engagement with art\, supported by both family heritage and formal training. He studied sculpture at the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca and further developed his practice through private mentorships and international art camps. \nWorking primarily with conceptual and spiritual foundations\, his artistic language unfolds through oil painting and bronze sculpture\, and more occasionally through stone and wood. His work explores the moment when spirit penetrates matter\, an approach he defines as cosmic surrealism. Influenced by philosophy\, diverse cultures\, personal life experience\, and place\, his creative process often begins with an intuitive vision that matures over the years into its final form. \nStarmüller has participated in numerous national and international group exhibitions and has contributed to major public art projects\, including the restoration of the Statue of Liberty in Arad\, as well as other monuments in Romania and abroad.

SUMMARY:Shadow Fate - Theatre Performance for the Day of Hungarian Culture
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of the Day of Hungarian Culture\, we warmly invite you to the one-act performance\, Shadow Fate on January 22\, 2026\, at Hungary House\, produced by Klebelsberg Castle Chamber Theatre. \n\nThe drama is based on the diary ‘Our Life Path’ by Sarolta Botka\, wife of Kuno von Klebelsberg. Through her perspective\, the audience can get a glimpse into the daily life of this exceptional politician and his love and marriage\, revealing a tableau of the 20th century’s dramas—from the fall of the Monarchy and Trianon\, through the two world wars\, to communist deportation. Sarolta’s viewpoint illuminates Klebelsberg’s human character and achievements\, while her post-WWII ordeals as a widow highlight the paradoxical cruelty of communism. \nFollowing her successful drama Ilona Zrinyi\, Mária Hedry brings this tumultuous life to the stage: Klebelsberg’s figure and his era’s contradictions take center stage through Sarolta’s lonely fate. The play draws on scholarly research—including works by Gábor Ujvári\, István Bethlen\, and Ignác Romsics—alongside contemporary sources\, enriched by the author’s imagination. \nCount Kuno von Klebelsberg (1875–1932) was a defining cultural politician of interwar Hungary. As Minister of Religion and Public Education (1922–1931)\, he implemented reforms to address Trianon losses: building thousands of rural schools\, modernising universities\, promoting folk education\, and founding overseas cultural institutes (Collegium Hungaricum) for national survival. \nThe 80-minute\, one-act performance will be performed in Hungarian with English subtitles. \n\n\nCast: \n\nSarolta: Edit Majzik\nEmma\, Márta\, Hubayné\, Róza\, peasant woman: Delinke Gajdó\nSzentgyörgyi\, doctor\, German officer\, Russian officer\, Hungarian comrade: Attila Petneházy\n\nSet\, costumes: Katalin Libor\nDirector: Attila Petneházy

SUMMARY:Peter Peri in Conversation with Dávid Fehér - Book launch and display of recent paintings
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Liszt Institute London for an evening celebrating the launch of a new monograph on Peter Peri\, published by Einspach Czapolai Fine Art. \nPeri will be in conversation with Dávid Fehér\, Director of the Central European Research Institute for Art History of the Museum of Fine Arts. Their discussion will explore Peri’s artistic practice\, key themes in his work\, and the ideas shaping his most recent projects\, offering insight into both the newly published monograph and his wider artistic trajectory. \nThe event will also feature a display of Peri’s latest paintings in the gallery\, providing a unique opportunity to experience his practice first-hand alongside the critical perspectives presented in the publication. \nCopies of the book will be available on site. All are welcome to attend\, register via Eventbrite. \n\n\nPeter Peri (b. 1971\, London) \nPeter Peri’s primary media are drawing\, sculpture\, and painting: three distinct bodies of work that are developed independently by the artist to create a complex set of interrelations. All works are specifically invested in the tension between line and volume\, figuration and abstraction\, and in the questioning of tradition and influence in Modernism. \nA graduate of Chelsea College of Art\, he made his debut at Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2003. He has exhibited widely internationally\, including Tate Britain\, the Hayward Gallery\, and Kunsthalle Basel. Peri’s work can be found in the collections of Tate\, the Victoria & Albert Museum\, and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Budapest. Peri’s work has a personal connection to Modernism. His grandfather was Peter László Péri (1899–1967)\, a Hungarian émigré to Britain who was involved in Constructivism before turning to architecture and later in his life to Realism. \n\n\nDávid Fehér \nDávid Fehér is an art historian\, director of the Central European Research Institute for Art History of the Museum of Fine Arts\, and assistant professor at the Institute of Art History at the Eötvös Loránd University. His research covers 20th-century and contemporary art\, including Pop Art\, Photorealism\, and related movements. He has curated numerous exhibitions and has published widely in academic journals\, exhibition catalogues\, and art publications. He is a member of the Hungarian Section of the International Association of Art Critics.

SUMMARY:Biophilia - An exhibition by photo artist Balázs Csizik and neuroscientist Dániel Barabási
DESCRIPTION:Liszt Institute London presents Biophilia\, a one-of-a-kind exhibit featuring the thought-provoking combination of the works of neuroscientist Dániel Barabási and photo artist Balázs Csizik. \nThe exhibition is organised around the concept of life and its different dimensions\, as the duo combines the tools of science and fine art to present the central theme through a variety of media\, from cellular organisation to networks of urban spaces and communities. \nJoin us for the opening on Wednesday\, 12 November\, 6.00 – 8.00 pm. \nThe exhibition will be on view for the public from 13 November 2025 – 16 January 2026\, Mondays-Fridays 11.00 am – 7.00 pm. \nPreviously presented in New York\, Brussels\, and Stuttgart\, we are excited to welcome the exhibition to London in November 2025. \n\n\nThe concept of life and its various definitions have largely determined the scientific and cultural discourses of the 20th and 21st centuries. Traditionally\, when we speak of life\, we think primarily of human existence\, and we interpret the life of other forms of existence in relation to this. The concept of life has carried this duality since antiquity. In ancient Greek thought\, two concepts with different meanings were used to denote life: zoé\, which refers to mere life\, natural existence\, organic forms of existence\, the self-organizing processes of nature\, the self-maintaining biological processes of the body\, while bios refers to life organized in form\, political and communal existence\, self-conscious action\, ethics\, and moral laws. The tension between nature and culture\, between non-human and human existence\, can be detected in the divergence between the two concepts. In the intersection of the modifications of meaning or even the vitality of these categories\, we find the notion of life in constant change and in constant need of investigation. \nThe joint exhibition of Dániel Barabási and Balázs Csizik synthesizes the different dimensions of the interpretation and observation of life. Barabási is a neuroscientist who studies the cellular organization and developmental processes of living systems\, the human body\, and the brain. As a visual artist\, Csizik works primarily in photography\, capturing and manipulating natural\, urban\, and social phenomena using a specific formal language based on the aesthetics of constructivism. In Biophilia\, Barabási’s works organize and transform cells into abstract artistic compositional elements\, while Csizik’s restrained formal compositions involve sprawling organisms. Reflecting on each other\, inspired by each other’s methods\, the two artists explore the different forms of life and the connections between them. They use the exhibition space as an aesthetic laboratory\, a place for exploring the intersections between science and visual art\, urbanism\, sociology\, environmental science\, biology\, and an experimental mix of different approaches. In their joint work\, different concepts and forms of life make sense in a complementary and mutually reinforcing way. \nZsófia Máté\, curator

SUMMARY:The Dervish Bowl: The Many Lives of Arminius Vambéry Book launch with Anabel Loyd
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the London launch of The Dervish Bowl: The Many Lives of Arminius Vambéry by Anabel Loyd. This new biography paints a compelling portrait of one of the most enigmatic figures of the nineteenth century\, whose restless travels and self-fashioned legends made him both a celebrated explorer and a controversial character. \nArminius Vambéry (1832–1913) was a Hungarian-born linguist\, orientalist adventurer\, writer\, and member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences who rose from poverty to become a regular guest at the courts and parlours of Victorian England. Disguised as a dervish\, he crossed Persia and Central Asia on foot\, publishing tales that thrilled European audiences and earned him a reputation as an intrepid traveller. His story is far from straightforward: Zionist sympathiser\, inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Van Helsing\, and even a British agent in the “Great Game” with Russia\, Vambéry embodied the shifting identities and ambiguities of Europe’s imperial century. \nIn her book\, Anabel Loyd draws on Vambéry’s own memoirs alongside newly uncovered sources\, letters\, and contemporary accounts to reveal the complex reality behind the myths. From hero to trickster\, patriot to opportunist\, he emerges as a man who was always both insider and outsider – fitting in everywhere and nowhere at once.

SUMMARY:Sense of Calm guided tour - With artist Laura Medcalf
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guided tour of Laura Medcalf’s solo exhibition SENSE OF CALM on the 17th October at 3.00 pm. As the solo show reaches its final days\, this event will provide one last chance to interact with Medcalf’s meditative works and to learn more about her practice firsthand.\n\nCoinciding with Frieze week\, this guided tour will serve as the finissage of our third exhibition\, SENSE OF CALM\, with special insight and engagement from the artist herself.\n\nAmid the movement and energy of Trafalgar Square\, SENSE OF CALM offers a moment to pause\, a space to step away from the city’s fast pace and into something slower\, elemental\, and immersive. In this solo exhibition\, British-Hungarian multidisciplinary artist Laura Medcalf transforms the Liszt Institute London’s gallery into a space of stillness and presence\, shaped by open waters\, soil\, and sunlight.\n\nThe exhibition explores how art can become more than an object of observation\, a space for stillness and inner calm. Built from organic elements\, the works establish a delicate balance between the rhythms of nature and human perception\, offering an opportunity for reflection\, renewal\, and a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.\n\nIn a world that rarely slows down\, SENSE OF CALM invites viewers to pause. To listen. To feel the flow. To follow the traces of light. To look beyond the surface\, towards the quiet\, invisible forces that shape us all.\n\nIn collaboration with Art Embassy Network.

SUMMARY:New Fossils - A night of modern jazz\, deep grooves\, and Eastern European mysticism
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Ninety One Living Room for a night of jazz\, electronic sounds\, and deep rhythms with New Fossils!\n\nNew Fossils is a Budapest-based quintet navigating the space between modern jazz\, deep grooves\, and Eastern European mysticism. Dániel Varga (saxophone)\, Damján Ocsovay (keys)\, István Tóth (guitar)\, Dániel Ferenc Szabó (drums)\, and Marcell Gyányi (bass) blend tight interplay with a love for the unexpected.\n\nTheir new album\, Ecosphere\, moves beyond their acoustic jazz roots into richer\, more layered territory. Recorded in the Mátra mountains\, the album grew from a collective writing process\, where each musician’s voice shaped the whole. Emma Nagy (vocals) and Áron Horváth (cimbalom) add even more texture\, bringing a sense of lyricism and an unmistakable regional feel.\n\nReleasing music through their own label\, Morotva Records\, New Fossils keeps things hands-on. They’ve shared stages with Alfa Mist\, worked with ECM artist Mathias Eick\, and built a reputation for electrifying live shows.\n\nWith Ecosphere\, they dive deeper into contrast — structured yet free\, grounded yet exploratory—proving that jazz\, much like nature\, thrives on change.

SUMMARY:Laura Medcalf - Sense of Calm
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of Laura Medcalf’s second London solo show\, SENSE OF CALM\, at the Liszt Institute London on 11th September\, 6.00 – 8.00 pm. \nAmid the movement and energy of Trafalgar Square\, SENSE OF CALM offers a moment to pause\, a space to step away from the city’s fast pace and into something slower\, elemental\, and immersive. In this solo exhibition\, British-Hungarian multidisciplinary artist Laura Medcalf transforms the Liszt Institute into a space of stillness and presence\, shaped by open waters\, soil\, and sunlight. \nWorking with soluble\, light-sensitive crystals mixed in her unique way to paint her first layer\, Medcalf creates each of her works directly at the meeting point between land and open water. These pieces are not representations of landscapes\, but physical imprints which result from a meditative collaboration with nature. Medcalf immerses the surfaces of her works into rivers\, lakes\, and seas around the world: from Britain’s Jurassic Coast to the Danube and Tisza rivers\, the still waters of Lake Balaton\, to all the way to the Mediterranean as well as the Caribbean Sea. The sunlight\, sand\, open water\, and the weather conditions\, together with Medcalf’s layered gestural painting process\, create unique\, unrepeatable textures and tones across the surface of each work. \nThe process begins with brushstrokes applied to the paper\, which are soon set aside. Medcalf works in harmony with the environment\, allowing the organic materials gathered directly from shorelines to guide her hand. This collaboration enables the landscape itself to leave its imprint on the work. The intensity of the sun\, the texture of the soil\, and the composition of the water all play a vital role in shaping each piece. Her approach is both intuitive and exacting\, embodying a delicate balance between control and surrender. \nNone of the works has a fixed centre point. Their open\, expansive aura draws the viewer in\, radiating a sense of infinite calm. With every glance\, new forms and layers begin to unfold. Each piece holds the trace of a specific place\, allowing the ephemeral moment to become paradoxically enduring. These works are imprints of a quiet dialogue with nature and time\, silent recollections of shifting light\, gestures of weather\, subtle emotional currents\, and the transient moments of the natural world. \nAs part of the London Design Festival\, this exhibition explores how art can become more than an object of observation\, a space for stillness and inner calm. Built from organic elements\, the works establish a delicate balance between the rhythms of nature and human perception\, offering an opportunity for reflection\, renewal\, and a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us. \nIn a world that rarely slows down\, SENSE OF CALM invites viewers to pause. To listen. To feel the flow. To follow the traces of light. To look beyond the surface\, towards the quiet\, invisible forces that shape us all. \nThe exhibition is open to the public 12 September – 20 October\, Monday through Friday\, 11.00 am – 7.00 pm. \nExhibition opening: 11 September\, 6.00 – 8.00 pm. RSVP essential. \nIn partnership with the London Design Festival
