Feher Vera
ÖNSZKIFI
SELF SCIFI

The International Ceramics Studio would be honoured if you would join us for photographer Vera A. Fehér's exhibition SELFSCIFI.

Besides humour, drama and black comedy, Vera A Fehér, a photographer from Kecskemét, also often uses the tools of private reflection. Her latest series, which is not directly based on the private sphere, can also be linked back to a kind of female story of self-creation, or, if you like, a science-fiction journey projected onto herself. In her needle-and-needle stitched photographs, she finds abstract truths expressed in mathematical-geometric relationships that are reflections of the most fundamental truths of the world.

Exhibition opening: Thursday, 11th of July 2024 at 5pm
Opening by: Tamara András aesthete
Exhibition opening times: Tuesday to Saturday, from 14.00 to 18.00 until 3rd August 2024

László Domonkos 

HAGYOMÁNYOK ÚTJAIN KÉT KERÉKEN
TRADITIONS ON TWO WHEELS

László Domonkos, as an authentic and outstanding representative of contemporary Hungarian folk pottery, creates his cooking, baking and serving vessels, which can be used in today's kitchen, based on the pottery traditions of Magyarszombatfa. He is an authentic master, a continuator of the traditions of a millennia-old craft, and knows everything about the pottery of his beloved Őrség. He began his career as a student of ceramicist Mária Geszler, and his work was greatly influenced by the dance-house movement that became popular in the 1970s, in which he took an active part through his research in his own region. His coffee and tea pots carry on the character of the last century with their rustic design and strong plasticity. The simplicity of his drinking cups and pitchers, the beauty of their proportions, the perfection of their function, the novelty of their glazes, are successful examples of a modern search for a new way.

Exhibition opening: Thursday, 20th of June 2024 at 5pm
Opening by: Enikő Kontor ceramicist
Exhibition opening times: Tuesday to Saturday, from 14.00 to 18.00 until 6th July 2024.

NÖK A GYÁRBAN
WOMEN IN THE FACTORY

The exhibition will present the works of female Hungarian factory designers whose designs and products have been commercially available in small, medium or large-scale production. In addition to the products of the three leading Hungarian-owned porcelain manufactories - Herendi Porcelain Manufactory, Zsolnay Porcelain Manufactory and Hollóházi Porcelain Manufactory - the French-owned Degrenne Group, which operates the Alföld Porcelain Factory, and two world-famous foreign porcelain factories - Vista Alegre from Portugal and Lladró from Spain - will be on display.
Demonstrating the versatility of porcelain, we exhibit home furnishings (vases, lamps, ornaments), tableware and porcelain jewellery.

We have invited contemporary, progressive artists to the exhibition, who can be rightly described as "Hungarian ingenuity", whose creativity and innovative spirit has found its way beyond the limits of serial production and factory design. The DNA in the objects is not only characteristic of the individual manufacturers, but also the personalities of the creators.

Exhibiting artists: Pálma Babos, Erika Éles-Varga, Ágnes Hegedűs, Katalin Herter, Eszter Imre, Regina Kaintz, Etelka Meixner-Hegyi, Judit Savanyú, Erika Sütő

Exhibition opening: Thursday, 30th of May 2024 at 5pm
Opening by: Rita Mária Halasi design specialist, research and innovation manager
Exhibition opening times: Tuesday to Saturday, from 14.00 to 18.00 until 15th June 2024.

Antal Pázmándi

HÓDOLAT A STÚDIÓNAK
TRIBUTE TO THE STUDIO

"Pázmándi's works are not to be explained, but to be seen and to wander in them mindfully. For me, this is the magic of his works. But it could also be that his ancestors forgot to tell something and now he wants to make up for it, with his constant work, his enigmatic ceramic sculptures."
/János Probstner/

Exhibition opening: Thursday, 9th of May 2024 at 17.00
Opening by: Dr. Gábor Farkas DLA, Ybl - and Prima Primissima - award-winning architect
Exhibition opening: until 25th May 2024.
