City-artwork-space - panel discussion led by the BudapestBerlin Salon
Guests: Eszter Ágnes Szabó (HINTS Institute), Ágnes Gagyi (doctorate student of social communication, ELTE / amBlokk), Barnabás Jankovits (Neopaint / graffiti artist), Gábor Roskó (painter)
Moderator: Dávid Zsigó (sociologist)
The guests of this roundtable discussion of the BudapestBerlin Salon are people who use urban/public spaces to showcase their art. Their work results of installations, public space furniture, graffiti and other visible marks. Their need for reinterpreting space, however, has to do with personal preference. How do those for whom this work is intended respond to all this? Do they even care? Where does art begin, what and who makes it orderly or spatially disruptive? Do we even need art in urban spaces? Who should create art, what, and for whom? Even if unanimous responses are voiced during the discussion, simply asking these questions may set how we think about public spaces in a new direction.
The BudapestBerlin Salon held its first evening in October 2008. The organisers (Eszter Gantner B. and Ágnes Pákozdi) launched the initiative because, in their opinion, there were no platforms and places suitable for inspiring and fruitful dialogue between those who loved Budapest, irrespective of party politics. The objectives of the Salon, however, point beyond this: it would like to find answers to both shared and unique problems/questions regarding urban space centred around the developmental dynamics of Budapest and Berlin.

Ahad‘s Masters Garden: Electro-acoustic concert of the Ahad/Füle/Despera/Sugo (Hungary/Japan) quartet to Andy Warhol’s film entitled Empire
Empire is an enigmatic and associative film, perhaps the most famous of Andy Warhol’s works, who was one of the most influential artists of the second half of the 20 th century. The 'protagonist' of this single-shot film is the Empire State Building. Warhol’s experimental silent movie - which was originally 485 minutes long, but can now only be seen in its hour-long version - is about 'visual seeing' and complex perception; it is a radical meditation on the space-time and materiality of film.
Ahad aka Zsolt Sőrés and Csaba Füle, along with Masuda 'Despera' Keisuke and Yoshida 'Sugo' Takayoshi, members of the Japanese psychedelic rock band Uramichi - who have been touring Hungary in these past weeks with great success - create unique sound environments around the silent film about this strange, emblematic building by drawing on various sound materials (such as so called 'Number Stations' - mysterious, unidentifiable shortwave radio stations -, radio amateur signals and sequences, sound samples containing sound modulations, medium frequency radio sounds).
The electro-acoustic concert, which belongs in the Ahad’s Masters Garden series, is not only an alternative film score project, but more of a work of sound art influenced by films – an 'audional film'.

Purifying kitsch with tears - An unusual performance about aesthetics with the Kultpanama Company
A philosopher/aesthetician, an actress, and a writer/poet descend into the mysterious world of what we call kitsch. Kitsch is seemingly a kind of 'enclosure' condemned to a half-vital existence of scratching at the surface of things. In reality, as soon as we are made to weep by kitsch, it becomes visceral and instinctual - in other words, human. Kitsch is our buzzword for the night, with which we summon the monsters of the sleeping imagination. Our other buzzword: courage. Do we dare / can we reveal our inner self through the most trivial gushing? Do we dare / can we weep with the intensity of being beside ourselves? We are looking forward to welcoming everyone in the purgatory of tears.

' Back Garden' - found pictures, found stories: a family slide show selected by Emese Góg
We simultaneously feel strange and familiar in the Back Garden. Walking through the various programs taking place in the garden and buildings of Novus, we come across what may at first seem like a puzzling site. It is as if we were walking through someone’s garden or summer home. The projection surface reminds one of drying clothes - sheets, white t-shirts, and towels fixed in place by clothes-pins, with the family photos of unknown acquaintances on them. Everyday situations, happy anecdotal images, holiday snapshots.

Pecha Kucha Night Budapest vol. 13.
the thirteenth edition of the highly popular evening presentation originating from Tokyo, with representatives of the creative professions.
The thirteenth - Budapest - event of the sensational architect-designer show which had started in Japan, this time entertains its audience in City Park. Such 'Chatter Nights', modelled after the original Tokyo version, where architects, designers and visual artists present their works to the audience, are held all around the world in over a hundred big cities. There is but one rule: every presenter can only show 20 images for 20 seconds each. As simple as this rule is, it is also a wonderful one: it helps to keep the presentations exciting and fast-moving. There is no room (time) for talking nonsense!

Etudes for rollerskates /rollerblades: David Moises’motorised horse-riding performance
David Moises’ motorised horse takes off in pursuit of the abstract concept of horsepower (hp) - which is now only used in the auto industry and only for measuring the performance of internal combustion engines at that. The first - and also most widespread - unit of measurement for horsepower was introduced by James Watt in 1782 for quantifying the performance of the steam engine he had invented. It was named so because it approximately equals the performance of a horse over a longer time period. In Hungary, 735,49875 watt’s worth of metric horsepower is used.
Bring your rollerskates/rollerblades, so that, by jumping on the back of the Hobbyhorse, you can also get a taste of 1 horsepower unit.

Villő Turcsány - Linda Tabbouch: S o u n d S o u r c e
Three tables in space: one of them is a low-set game board, the other has various sticks, pins, female accessories and pieces of musical instruments positioned in a certain order; the third is a control board. The game can be divided into three scenes: arrival / board game - discussion / communication with instruments. 'Sound novella' with two female protagonists representing different characters.

HOPPart Company: Shivering, or where fear dwells - experience performance
Are we really not afraid of the dark? De we really not shudder at the smallest suspicious noise? And what if a shadow moves on the wall? What if we get trapped in the lift and even the light goes out? Are there really no ghosts? Do we know our real fears and what is at the root of them?
The HOPPart Company searches for the answers to these and other questions in a ghostly place with help from the audience.
