As part of the art exchange program between Le Génie de la Bastille and the MaMű Society, the exhibition “Four French Artists in Budapest” will be held from October 17 to 26, 2025. Founded in 1984, the Paris-based association Le Génie de la Bastille has been promoting and preserving the values of contemporary visual art. This will be the second time that the association presents an exhibition of its members’ works at the MaMű Gallery in Budapest.
Since launching the program “Portes Ouvertes à l’Europe” in 1988, Le Génie has been engaged in organizing international exchange programs, creating opportunities for intercultural dialogue and artistic encounters. Thanks to the renewed exchange of ideas between the French and Hungarian art communities, this inexhaustibly inspiring dialogue and collaboration continues.
MaMű and Le Génie de la Bastille stand as atypical examples in our hyper-individualistic era — they safeguard the importance of cross-border cooperation, the development of new projects, the opening of new horizons, and the realization of programs promoting artistic mobility and exchange exhibitions.
The current exhibition represents the fourth chapter of the ongoing dialogue between the two collectives, following the show presented by MAMŰ artists at the Galerie du Génie de la Bastille in June 2025.
Exhibiting artists: Patrick BAIL, Pascale CARRIER, Corine Sylvia CONGIU, Philippe MONNET
