About event
We invite you to the autumn Meet & Greet meeting - a unique opportunity for closer contact and personal dialogue with artists in our community! 🍂
EVA BUBLA (HU) is a Hungarian artist, activist, researcher and independent curator who deals with current ecological and social problems in her work. Her projects, at the border between art and science, focus on mapping, perception, interpretation and thus (re)connecting the audience with the local ecosystem. He often collaborates with local communities and other organizations, which, based on mutual interaction, significantly define the format and medium with which he works as a result. In her previous projects, she dealt with issues such as the role of urban greenery, problems of agriculture, air, water or plastic pollution, ecological needs and threats to freshwater streams and related human activities, trying to offer relevant social discourse, new perspectives and ideas about the future .
🗣 KATALIN KORTMANN-JÁRAY and KARINA MENDRECZKY (HU) form an artistic duo that has been working closely together since 2019. As part of their projects, they create large-scale, walk-through installations, so-called spatial collages, composed of different elements, combining different techniques and materials such as textiles, photographs and sculptures made of iron, concrete or clay to create metaphorically fragile spaces. They seek to tap into the collective memory by drawing parallels between contemporary animist perspectives and their historical and cultural counterparts rooted in the ecological crisis.
We look forward to seeing you! ✨

We invite you to our fall edition of Meet & Greet, a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with artists in our community. 🍂
The last Meet & Greet event of this year will feature a trio of artists from Hungary - Eva Bubla and the artistic duo Katalin Kortmann-Járay and Karina Mendreczky.
< br/>🗣 EVA BUBLA (HU) is an artist, activist, researcher, and independent curator. Her work has been centered around current ecological and social concerns. At the boundaries of art and science, her projects aim to map, perceive, interpret, and as such (re)connect audiences to the local ecosystem. She is keen on working together with local communities and other sectors; these forms of interactions greatly define the format and medium she works with. Her solo and collaborative projects have addressed issues such as the role of urban green areas, the challenges of farming, air, water or plastic pollution, the ecological needs and risks of freshwaters, and connected human activities by offering relevant social discourse, new perspectives or future imaginations.
🗣 KATALIN KORTMANN-JÁRAY and KARINA MENDRECZKY (HU) have been collaborating closely since 2019, creating large-scale, walk-through installations—spatial collages—made up of diverse elements. In their work, they combine various techniques and materials such as textiles, photographs, and sculptures crafted from iron, concrete, and clay, to construct metaphorically fragile spaces. By drawing parallels between contemporary animistic perspectives, rooted in the ecological crisis, and their historical and cultural counterparts, they aim to engage with collective memory. Their conceptual starting points often involve well-known texts like poems, rhymes, or even song lyrics. These narratives blend the symbolism of fairy tales, quasi-religious motifs, and mysticism.
We look forward to seeing you! ✨
