Bl!ndmann Quartet (B): Bl!ndman Electr!c /concert 20 February, 8 pm
Composer/saxophonist Eric Sleichim founded BL!NDMAN Saxophone Quartet in 1988. The name refers to the title of Marcel Duchamp’s magazine “The Blind Man”. Sleichim is interested in finding a way of translating visual art concepts into a musical language. BL!NDMAN Saxophone Quartet doesn't rest content with the sounds for which the instrument was originally designed. The musicians do go in for the conventional blowing in the mouthpiece and fingering the keys bit - but not exclusively. BL!NDMAN has worked its way up to the level of the greatest chamber music ensembles. From pure acoustics to a computer-controlled quartet, BL!NDMAN ELECTR!C presents different degrees of electronic involvement in live music.
Rui Horta (P): Pixel /dance 25–28 January, 8 pm
”Pixel is a project about our body image in the digital area. A place where the real body confronts his own representation though image. In Pixel our vision discovers a body of variable geometry, a world in itself, an endless playground for the senses.” – Rui Horta

The following questions are intended to be points of departure or guidelines in the thinking and the determination of individual themes.
TRAFÓ GALLERY
Delegation /exhibition Works of Attila Galbovy, Gergő Kovách and Barna Péli Invited artists: Róbert Ferenczi, Ádám Kokesch, György Kálmán Nagy, Csaba Uglár 27 January – 29 February
The first common work of the three young sculptors reveals a distinct world. The basis of the complex installation that is supplemented by works of other artists they like is common work and thinking, communication between artists. This is however not the intention to finalize a consensus, but it is rather a creative process that gear up the subconscious, free play of continuing each others’ associations. The result of it, the sculpture-installation is playful, perplexing. Sometimes grotesque, sometimes surrealistic characters make us search for the narrative between them, to find the key to the story.
