Hommage à Király Ernő

The current exhibition of Katalin Ladik commemorates Erno Király on the centenary of his birth. Often referred to as the John Cage of Vojvodina, the ethnic Hungarian composer, ethnographer and folklorist of Serbia was one of the key figures of new musical endeavours emerging from the middle of the 20th century within the region. His praxis fused avant-garde music with the colourful folklore traditions of the Balkans.

The exhibition presents a selection of Katalin Ladik’s work inspired by Erno Király’s art, as well as their co-authored works and documents of their collaboration.
