PALOZNAK JAZZ PICNIC
JULY 29-31, IN PALOZNAK AT BALATON
Mario Biondi, Al McKay's Earth, Wind and Fire Experience, Candy Dulfer, De Phazz and Magdi Rúzsa will be joined by a number of international and Hungarian jazz, funk and soul artists and groups at the 9th Paloznak Jazz Picnic. According to festival director Orsolya Valde, most of this year's performers have been to Jazzpiknik before, which is why they managed to put together such a strong line-up despite the still difficult travel conditions. The ‘Italian Barry White’, Mario Biondi will be the first international act on the first day, followed by Al McKay's Earth, Wind and Fire Experience, one of the world's most famous funky bands, playing with old and new members, The following day, one of the most popular artists on the Hungarian music scene, Magdi Rúzsa, will perform a special show, with the closing concert on Friday played by MF Robots. On the closing day, the German band De Phazz will play unique downtempo jazz, followed by the Dutch "saxophone queen" Candy Dulfer and finally the Dutch Kraak&Smaak Live Band. Every year, Jazzpiknik uses a part of its proceeds to support people in need, and this year the organizers plan to cooperate with the ‘Together for Autistic People Foundation’. At the Jazzpiknik, the festival organizers and MOL Zrt. are raising funds for the Auttalent 2021 talent education program.
TAMÁS PÉLI: BIRTH
JUNE 09-SEPTEMBER 26 BUDAPEST HISTORY MUSEUM
In the framework of the cooperation between the Budapest History Museum (BTM) and OFF-Biennale Budapest, an unprecedented work of Roma contemporary art, which has not been shown to the public until now, is on view in the Baroque Hall of the BTM Castle Museum. The aim of the exhibition is to make Tamás Péli's Birth (a panel painting on wood) visible to the public and to include the painting in the public ‘community space’ created through discussions and interpretations. The monumental work, which brings together the Roma creation myth, HungarianRoma history and the formation of Hungarian-Roma intellectuals, and represents a community of Roma and Hungarians, arrived at the BTM Castle Museum in April 2021. After a week of acclimatization, its panels were unpacked and partially restored by the museum's restorers. At the same time, the huge installation, designed by artist Tamás Kaszás on which the painting is mounted, was built. Tamás Péli’s enormous piece is a work of art of unparalleled significance in many respects. Painted on fiberboard, the panel painting of nearly 41 square meters was completed in 1983 by Tamás Péli with the contribution of his disciples – including István Szentandrássy. ‘Birth’ was made on the Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County Council’s commission and it was installed on the wall of the refectory of the children’s home in the Andrássy mansion of Tiszadob, also known as the City of Children. When the mansion was reconstructed into a hotel in 2011, the panneau was removed and hauled in four pieces to the András Jósa Museum in Nyíregyháza. It was stored in the museum’s corridor, covered – safe, but unseen.

NIGHT OF ARTWORKS
JUNE 17–19 VARIOUS VENUES IN BUDAPEST
Fifty venues in Budapest will host more than a hundred events - exhibitions, professional lectures, studio and workshop visits, thematic walks, workshops, talks and film screenings - for visitors to the 5th Night of Artworks between 17 and 19 June. Organizers say the aim of the event is to bring the world of artworks closer to the public. The festival will not only focus on traditional genres: in addition to paintings, sculptures, archaeological finds, photographs and ceramics, it will also evoke the object culture of the communist era, the mysteries of blue painting, the industrial history and craftsmanship of Unicum and the secrets of folk crafts. New venues will include the Gül Baba's tomb, while the BTM Aquincum Museum and Archaeological Park will offer a behind-the-scenes look at archaeological excavations, one of Europe's largest stone archaeological treasures and the everyday life of the Romans. Visitors to the Hungarian Circus Art Museum can see works by contemporary artists reflecting on circus art and enjoy an interactive guided tour about the 130 years of the Budapest Circus. The recently inaugurated National Museum Restoration and Storage Center is open to visitors interested in restoration and the masterpieces of Hungarian painting, and is currently working on works by Mihály Munkácsy, Béla Czóbel and Pál Merse Szinyei, among others. In the Kiskép Gallery, visitors can see contemporary Hungarian glass art, while in Memento Park the focus is on political propaganda and the object culture of socialism, to name just a few of the venues. mutargyakejszakaja.hu
