White God (Fehér Isten), 2014 When tween trumpet-player Lili has to stay with her dad for a few days, he is notinterested in taking care of her pet dog Hagen and in a fit of irritation leaves it by theside of the road.

Thrills run the gamut, from scenes of Hagen bonding with fellow street muttsto dramatic chase sequences as the dogs tear through the city, finally taking a gory

turn when Hagen reachesbreaking point. Filmedwith a cast of 280 dogsand featuring stagedscenes of animal cruelty,director Kornél Mundruczóhas crafted an ambitious,visceral opus, rightfullyearning plaudits at Cannes,including the Un CertainRegard prize, as well asthe Palme Dog for bestfour-legged performance.(Kate Taylor)

He studied at the Hungarian Universityof Film and Drama and is now a renowned European film-director, whose films premierat the most prestigious festivals all over the world.

PleasantDays, his first feature film, was awarded the Silver Leopard in Locarno in 2002 forbest first and second feature. He entered the Cannes Residence in 2003. His secondfeature film Johanna – an operatic adaptation of the story of Joan of Arc – was

e EXHIBITION

‘The place’: Eastern Europe in photography practiceWorks of PhD Candidates of the Royal College of Art

Contributions from artist and filmmaker David Bickerstaff; Hungarian photographerViktor Németh; artist and researcher Christian Nyampeta, in collaboration withcurator of the project Azadeh Fatehrad.

‘A job for the artist which no one else does is to dismantle existing communicationcodes and to recombine some of their elements into structures which can be used togenerate new pictures of the world...’ (Victor Burgin, Work and Commentary, 1973)

This project explores two forms of photography practice: fiction and documentary.The concept is based on re-visiting and recreating ‘existing images’. The events ofeveryday life could be captured as a social reality in the form of documentation, orfrom a completely different position – a position of fascination that would, in fact,create a fictional representation. What could differentiate amateur photography and flâneur style in the existing of captured images? How does documentationrepresent a historical event, and how does it differ from a fictional representation of the same event? By revisiting ‘existing images’, this project tries to answer thequestions above, as well as illuminate the life of archive images – the life of the past. Any specific historical event such as a revolution, victory, or catastrophe marks a key point or time in the history of a particular society, country, community. The mark made or left on the historical timeline necessarily creates a time bothbefore and after the event. Here, we place the emphasis on the period after the event, as we believe the event, whatever it may be, continues to exist in one way oranother; the people around or alive after the event will be the ones most affected by it and will have to deal with and digest the effects of it for a long time to come.

Through his collection and analytical study of folkmusic, he was one of the founders of comparative musicology,which later became ethnomusicology. Bartók is noted for theHungarian flavour of his major musical works, which includeorchestral works, string quartets, piano solos, several stageworks, a cantata, and a number of settings of folk songs forvoice and piano.

His most productive years were the two decades that followed the end of World War Iin 1918, when his musical language was completely and expressively formulated. He hadassimilated many disparate influences, in addition to Strauss and Debussy there werethe 19th-century Hungarian composer Ferenc Liszt and the modernists Igor Stravinskyand Arnold Schoenberg. Bartók arrived at a vital and varied style, rhythmically animated,in which diatonic and chromatic elements are juxtaposed without incompatibility.Within these two creative decades, Bartók composed two concerti for piano andorchestra and one for violin; the Cantata Profana (1930), his only large-scale choralwork; the Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta (1936) and other orchestralworks; and several important chamber scores, including the Sonata for Two Pianos

and Percussion (1937). The same period sawBartók expanding his activities as a concertpianist, playing in most of the countries ofwestern Europe, the United States and theSoviet Union. (www.britannica.com)

David LePage was a prizewinner in BBCYoung Musician of the Year and the YehudiMenuhin Competition. In 1999 he wasappointed leader of the Orchestra of theSwan, with which he regularly appears assoloist and director. David is president of theEuropean String Teachers Association.

e LITERATURE

Mátyás Sárközi Csé

László Cs. Szabó (1905–1984) was one of the most important figures of the Hungarian emigrant literary community. Highly esteemed as an essayist,extremely popular as a broadcaster and conferencespeaker, author of a number of important short-storycollections and memoirs, he was considered to be a unique creative force to maintain the integrityof Hungarian intellectuals living in the West.

The subject of our book launch, Mátyás Sárközi’sbiography, entitled Csé (this is how his friends and colleagues used to refer to László Cs. Szabó),recently published in Budapest by Kortárs, followsthe happenings of his eventful life and summarizesthe critical reception of his work.

Brought up in Kolozsvár, Cs. Szabó remained under the spell of the urban culture ofthis scene of his early youth for the rest of his life, even though with his parents theychose to move to Budapest after Transylvania had been awarded to Romania by theTreaty of Trianon. A visit to Paris made him decide to become a writer. His brilliantessays soon made Cs. Szabó an important regular contributor of the leading literary

magazine of the age Nyugat. Eventually he was appointed to head the Literary Department of Hungarian Radio.

He considered his 1948 flight to the West from Soviet-oppressed Hungary a true emigration in the classic sense, and spoke little of his past to his friends and his colleagues at the BBC Hungarian Section where he worked until his lastyears. Cs. Szabó’s fascinating life-story had to be rediscoveredepisode by episode to write his comprehensive biography.

Mátyás Sárközi, living in London since the end of 1956, is anovelist, journalist and broadcaster. Working for the BBCHungarian Section for almost forty years, he became not onlya colleague but also a friend of the writer László Cs. Szabó.Since Szabó’s works are now widely published in Hungary,there was a need to write his intimate biography, and also tosummarize his life work as an essayist, author of radio-plays,poetry and short-stories. Mátyás Sárközi fulfills this task inhis new book Csé, published by Kortárs in Budapest.

e LECTURE

Hungarian Avant-Garde? Neo-Avant-Garde? Contemporary or Post-Contemporary Art?By László Beke, Ex-Director, Research Institute for Art History, Hungarian Academy of Sciences

This lecture will give an overview of the most remarkable artists and works from theperiod of the 1960s to the present day in Hungary. There is an interesting ideologicaland aesthetic debate in our country about the ’mainstream’ in art. These discussionsrun parallel with a new international tendency of an emerging interest in East (Central-East) Europe in the context of European and Global cultures.

Another aspect of the past few decades in their evaluation is that there is a realgrowing interest in art – both ’high and low’ – not only among artists and experts but ’everyday people’, the younger genaration in particular.

hungarian student college presents

Hungarian brain research

Professor Tamás Freund: The National Brain Research ProgramProfessor Angus Silver: Neuroscience and the Magyars: Links between Hungarian

and British neuroscience Professor Péter Somogyi: Scientific mentoring in the past and in the information age

Hungarian Brain Research Program

In February 2014, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán – along with József Pálinkás,the President of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA), and Tamás Freund, thedirector of the MTA’s Institute of Experimental Medicine – signed an agreementestablishing the Hungarian Brain Research Program (HBRP). With a budget of 39 millioneuros spanning four years, this Program has received the largest grant of any branch ofscience in Hungary to date. To put the size of the award in perspective, the annual levelof funding (approximately 10 million euros per year) is nearly half of the annual NationalScientific Research Fund dedicated to the full range of scientific research in Hungary.

The program was prepared in collaboration between leading neuroscientists andgovernmental experts. Reflecting scientific actuality and strengths of Hungarianneuroscience the HBRP is focused on five thematic pillars. These pillars and their Chairs are the following: Discovery Research Clinical Research, PharmaceuticalResearch, Bionic and Infobionic Research, Social Challenges.

The Program’s long-term goal is to strengthen the international competitiveness andsocietal respect of brain research in Hungary and to contribute to decreasing thesocietal and economic burden of brain disorders. Establishing a ‘Neuroscience Network of Excellence’ is one of the key points to be addressed in meeting this goal. As a former chair of the IBRO (International Brain Research Organisation) Central &Eastern Europe Regional Committee – in addition to his recent appointment as amember of the European Commission’s President’s Science and Technology AdvisoryCouncil – Professor Freund is well-suited to progressing brain research throughpromoting international collaboration.

The main message is that it is in the best interest of Hungary and of all Europeancountries to consider discovery research into the mechanisms of brain disorders as major priority.

Professor Tamás F. Freund is the Director of the Institute of Experimental Medicine,Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Chairman of the Neuroscience Department of the PéterPázmány Catholic University in Budapest. He graduated as a biologist at the EotvosUniversity in Budapest, worked as a studentresearcher at the Department of Anatomy,Semmelweis Medical School, Budapest underthe supervision of János Szentágothai andPeter Somogyi, and spent a total of 4 years in Oxford. He became head of department(1990), then director (2002) of the Institute of Experimental Medicine. He served aspresident of FENS (2004–2006), member ofthe Executive Committee of IBRO (1998–2003),

and Chairman of IBRO’s Central and Eastern Europe Regional Committee (1999–2003).He is a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (1998), the Academia Europaea(London, 2000), the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina (2001), the AcademiaScientiarum et Artium Europaea (2001), and the American Academy of Arts andSciences (2014). The major prizes and awards he received include: the KRIEG CorticalDiscoverer Award and the Cajal Medal of the Cajal Club (1998, U.S.A.), the KemaliFoundation Award (1998, FENS Forum, Berlin), the Bolyai Prize (2000, Hungary), The Brain Prize (2011, Denmark), and the Prima Primissima Award (2013, Hungary).

His main scientific interest is the synaptic and molecular organization, functionalarchitecture and physiology of neuronal circuits in the cerebral cortex and relatedstructures, the network basis of behaviour-dependent activity patterns in the brain,the changes in neuronal connectivity/chemical architecture underlying addiction or epileptic and ischemic brain damage. He unraveled the molecular cascade ofendocannabinoid signaling and its relationship with anxiety. His work shed light on the mechanism by which impulses of our inner world (motivations, emotions,autonomic state) facilitates brain oscillations and memory storage.

Professor Angus Silver is Professor of Neuro -science & Wellcome Trust Senior Basic Fellowworking at UCL’s Neuroscience, Physiology andPharmacology Department.

The brain gathers information about the body andthe surrounding world, allowing it to build internalrepresentations and to plan and execute movement.Professor Silver’s lab works on how synapses,neurons and networks transmit and process suchinformation and perform computations. The brainareas the lab investigates include the cerebellumand the sensory cortex. The main aim of the work is

Page 22: –1 by Miklós Erdélydocshare02.docshare.tips/files/24841/248416112.pdf · 2017. 1. 14. · 5 Feb ≥ page 18 • lecture Hungarian Avant-Garde? Neo-Avant-Garde? Contemporary or

to develop a mechanistic understanding of brain function that links the molecular,synaptic, neuronal and network levels. This requires a multidisciplinary approach thatcombines the most powerful experimental and theoretical methods available. Toachieve this the lab both develops and applies new optical methods for measuring rapidsignalling in 3D and new software tools for data acquisition, analysis and modelling.Application of these new experimental and theoretical approaches allows ProfessorSilver’s lab to link neuronal mechanisms to information processing, thereby bridgingdifferent levels of description of brain function.

Professor Péter Somogyi, PhD., DSc, is director ofthe Medical Research Council, Anatomical Neuro -pharmacology Unit and professor of neurobiology at the Department of Pharmacology, University ofOxford, UK. He graduated in biology and received hisPhD in cell biology at the Eötvös Loránd University,Budapest, Hungary. His research training includedneurocytology with István Benedeczky, neuroanatomywith János Szentágothai at Semmelweis MedicalUniversity, Budapest, biochemistry with A. DavidSmith and Ian Chubb at the University of Oxford, and immunocyto chemistry with Claudio Cuello atOxford. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, theBritish Academy of Medical Sciences, the Hungarian,the German and the European Academies, andreceived The Brain Prize in 2011.

Professor Somogyi is recognised for his fundamental work on the identification of celltypes in the cerebral cortex and for the localization of signalling molecules in identifiedsynapses of microcircuits in the brain. He pioneered the high-resolutions synapticdissection of connections in the cerebral cortex defining synaptic links and theirtemporal dynamics. His vision that explanations of normal and pathological events inthe brain can only come from the rigorous spatio-temporal definition of the neuronalcircuits that underlie these events has led to the discoveries of novel cell types, rulesof neuronal connections, their molecular constituents and temporal dynamics. Ingeneral, his work has demonstrated how co-operative interactions in time and spacebetween distinct identified neurons and receptors in the plasma membrane underlie theprocessing power of the cortex. He has educated and mentored many students andpostdoctoral scientists, who are now professors and leaders throughout the world. Further information: www.mrc.ox.ac.uk/groups/somogyi-group

The Hungarian Cultural Centre and the Association of Hungarian Students Abroad(KÜMA), together with the UCLU, LSE SU, King’s SOAS and Imperial Hungarian Societieshave joined forces to host a special series of events with the title Hungarian StudentCollege in January 2014.

e EXHIBITION

Great Expectations – Memories from the 19th centuryGraphic art works by Ilona Luca Decsi

„…drágalátos, ízletes, körte-édes szerelem, amelynek nincs szüksége arra, hogy a lehunyt szemek más nôkalakjait varázsolják az eleven helyébe, és a bujkáló gondolatok távoli édes nők emlékeit idézgessék, mint a nyugalmazott testőrnedvesíti szája szélét a szép királyné emlékével,akinél fiatal korában szolgált…” (Krúdy Gyula)

Ilona Luca Decsi has always been interested in the life of women and wanted to paint those beautiful ladies of olden days. A few years ago she started to deal with theextraordinary female characters of the 19th century following her long fascinationwith women of the late middle ages. She has tried to visualise their life stories in herpaintings, which was marked by the desire for freedom and the long-aspired changesin women’s lives during the course of the 19th century.

The remarkable technology of photography, which was invented in this period of time,records enigmatic images. People were elegant, women wearing beautiful dresses full

of lace and madeira at traditional balls and festivities. Pictures of them preservedthese magical moments. Ilona Luca Decsi uses those old photographs for her artworkand applies these on handmade paper. Laced collars, ruffles and petticoats, as well asthe later fashion of the 1920s and 1930s, are all depicted in her work. Words fromGyula Krúdy, psychological insights from Sándor Ferenczy, the richness of musical andliterary culture of old Budapest and exhibitions her teachers talked about, all inspiredher to make this graphic art work series. In addition to her graphic art works, drawingsas well as oil paintings will be exhibited.

Ilona Luca Decsi was born in Budapest in 1950. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapestand earned her degree there. Since then she has beenworking as a graphic artist, art-historian and teacher.Her first exhibition was in Berlin in the Galerie Fundusin 1979. She won the Hungarian Derkovits prize for drawings and etchings. In 1989 Ilona Luca Decsiwon a Flemish scholarship and went on to study at theKoninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten. She hadseveral exhibitions at home and abroad, including the recent one in Veszprém (2012), Budapest (2014)and this year in Moscow together with her husband,the widely known painter and graphic artist Imre Kéri.

andNew Dramaturgy: International Perspectives on Theory and Practice(Bloomsbury Methuen Drama, London, 2014)Edited by Katalin Trencsényi and Bernadette Cochrane

The evening will feature a round table discussion on contemporary dramaturgy on theoccasion of the launch of Dramaturgy in the Making and New Dramaturgy. The booksare introduced by Mark Dudgeon, senior commissioning editor at Bloomsbury and PaulSirett, associate dramaturg, Ambassador Theatre group, and associate teacher, RoyalAcademy of Dramatic Art, who will also be chairing the discussion. The guest speakers

are Katalin Trencsényi (dramaturg,author) and dramaturgs featured in the book: Christopher Campbell(literary manager, Royal Court),Mischa Twitchin (theatre-maker,British Academy post-doctoralfellow, Queen Mary University ofLondon, and a co-founder of Shunt),and Hildegard De Vuyst (dramaturg,Royal Flemish Theatre, Brussels and les ballets C de la B, Ghent). The evening concludes with a winereception, accompanied by live jazzby Nick Tomalin (E17 Jazz Collective).

Dramaturgy in the Making maps contemporary dramaturgical practices in varioussettings of theatre-making and dance to reveal the different ways that dramaturgswork today. It provides a thorough survey of three major areas of practice – institutionaldramaturgy, production dramaturgy and dance dramaturgy – with each illustratedthrough a range of case studies that illuminate methodology.Through these, a detailedand precise insight is provided into dramaturgical processes at organisations such as the Akram Khan Company, les ballets C de la B (Ghent), the National Theatre, theRoyal Court and Shunt (London), the Schaubühne (Berlin), The Sundance InstituteTheatre Lab (Utah), and the Secret Company (Budapest) among others.The bookfeatures a foreword by Geoff Proehl, author of Toward a Dramaturgical Sensibility:Landscape and Journey.
