Voices in Ceramics：Contemporary Hungarian Ceramic Art
Hungary is a country in Central Europe, nourished by the rich nature of the Danube, the great river that flows from north to south, and the Great Plain, and has developed a unique ceramic culture in response to its complex history and society. Today, Hungary is known as a region with an active ceramic culture, including the International Ceramics Studio in Kecskemét, one of the largest ceramic residencies in Europe.
With academic collaboration and full organization by the Museum of Applied Arts, Budapest, the exhibition Voices in Ceramics: Contemporary Hungarian Ceramic Art presents the historical background of Hungarian contemporary ceramics, mainly from the 1980s onwards. The exhibition features more than 112 works by nearly sixty artists, divided into eight thematic units. The earliest work dates from 1965, and the latest from 2022. It presents the work of artists who have sought their own means of expression in the midst of the social changes that have taken place from the period of socialism after the Second World War, followed by the regime change in 1989, to the present day. From the masters to the emerging artists, we invite you to listen to the diverse “voices” of Hungarian ceramic art.
