Call for Proposals – Temporary art exhibition – Budapest – Hungary
We invite curators, artistic groups and artists to submit proposals for exhibitions to be organised in an exhibition space of 1000 square metres in the Godot Institute for Contemporary Art - Budapest from 2020 to 2025
Godot Gallery celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2019. This occasion will mark the opening of the Godot Institute of Contemporary Art with an exhibition area of 1000 square metres. Building on its independent status, the sole aim of this private initiative is to provide a space for artistic creativity, to facilitate the free exchange of ideas and their genuine artistic realisation.
Could you please provide the Hungarian text that you’d like translated?
Godot I.C.A. looks forward to receiving large‑scale exhibition proposals that are progressive, distinctive, contemporary and appealing to the wider public.
