In keeping with tradition, the biennial exhibition of fine and applied artists related to Dunaújváros will be organized again this year by the Institute of Contemporary Art. The artists invited to the exhibition are all members of a national professional organization, members of the Association Újpart or full-time students of a university of fine arts or applied arts. The Institute of Contemporary Art still considers its important task to ensure a continuous presence to local artists.
” (...) the collective exhibition of Dunaújváros can offer an unusually exciting visual experience because the Institute of Contemporary Art ”whose program considers evident the diversity of contemporary art” recognized in time that in such a necessarily heterogeneous exhibition it is worth and possible to show the professional potential inherent in local fine art parallel to the binding routine. Heterogeneity is right the objective and not the drawback of an exhibition like this. Since the aspect this exhibiting genre can surely boast with, that is recording a kind of snapshot, only applies if the exhibition at least approaches a representative sample and presents as many operating segments of fine art of Dunaújváros and its environment as possible. Therefore, this would be the task of the Institute of Contemporary Art (and all other local arts-based institutions – among which perhaps the Gallery of Miskolc is beginning to demonstrate similar values): to address and keep in the vicinity of the town all artists associated with the region. This includes also the artists who are involved in artistic training in Pécs or Budapest and those who studied and settled there.”
