Dear Friends of the Bardroom,
This following announcement is not a Bardroom event, but an event put together by several Bardroom organizers and past participants.
Eight local artists, both ex-pats and Hungarians, have banded together to form the Sörrealism group, and are holding their collective show at the café of the arthouse cinema Palace Kossuth 4, Vaci út 14. The show runs from February 7- March 6, and on February 27, the group will have a gathering at the theater at 7pm, offering a chance to meet the artists.
The event will feature beer discounts (obviously), and since it's cheap night at the Kossuth, folks can stay on to see one of their artsy movies, like the critically acclaimed Atonement or The Kite Runner.
The Sörrealist Show features eighteen paintings by Alex Ferenczi, Marcus Goldson, Leah Kohlenberg, Lado Pochkhua, Wayne Brett, Bullet Shih, Barbara Sipos, and video work by Paula Brett. The group coalesced around the belief that non-figurative art had largely exhausted its possibilities and a return to representation was inevitable. The word Sör-Realism, using the Hungarian word for beer, had been used by the Pestaside Writers' Group for years to describe their literary style.
The term now lends itself to the Sörrealist Artists' Movement, whose manifesto declares that abstraction is a tool for representation and not an end in itself. The group, as mentioned is a cosmopolitan multi-national one, with the artists drawing commonality from the city of Budapest itself.
On behalf of the Bardroom,
