Gallery Talk | Photographer Adam Magyar discusses his exhibition Kontinuum


The show combines works from several projects including six videos, photographs from Magyar's Stainless and Urban Flow series. Hungarian born and Berlin based, Magyar works internationally to create images of individuals in the urban environment. Commuting on trains and walking in the morning hours, in what he describes as the “in-between times”, he captures the missed moments that we often fail to notice or value. Magyar states that he is searching for the commonality among people, not their differences. Magyar bends conventional representations of time and space, stretching seconds into minutes and freezing moments impossible to see with the naked eye. To manifest his ideas and vision he has worked with great intensity and focus in developing equipment and software.

Using collected scents from home environments, Kristyna and Marek will walk visitors through their process for distilling “perfumed scents of home.” Visitors are asked to bring items from their household that have a particular scent unique to their home.

To reach out to the listeners, these concerts will be completely free. As an added incentive, the first 50 people in line at these concerts will be given $5. Composer, pianist, and founder and owner of IMMA Records and The Andriasov Store, Arshak Andriasov represents the new wave of classical composers. His music draws on a vast array of musical resources, ranging from Armenian folk music to Russian classical music, with certain elements of American jazz, while using means of contemporary language to create a complex system of juxtaposition. "There is no point to write classical music without having beauty in it" is his motto.
