The MAMŰ Society, the Rondella Gallery, the MATE Rippl-Rónai Art Institute and Celluloidra Revolverrel are organizing an international abstract video art review in 2026 at the MAMŰ Gallery in Budapest.
Abstract video art and the abstract moving image tradition in general are one of the most ambitious, yet one of the least discussed and visible areas of experimental motion picture discourse. The non-figurative formalist tradition is built from the most elementary parts of visuality: its tools are light, form and movement. Its aspiration is nothing less than to develop new senses, to create a new visual language, and thereby to create the new man and his world.
The film and video art works screened in the exhibition come partly from invited contemporary artists and partly from significant domestic and international collections. The opening and closing events of the exhibition will be accompanied by live audiovisual performances. In addition to contemporary Hungarian artists, the founding members of Signal Culture, Debora and Jason Bernagozzi, will also perform at the opening.
