Creativity & Visuality / Creativity classes [1975–1977, 2015]
April 24 – May 8, 2015
The Creative Exercises (led by Miklós Erdély and Dóra Maurer, with the assistance of György Galántai), held in 1975, 1976 and 1977 in the Ganz-MÁVAG Cultural Centre (Ganz-MÁVAG Kulturális Központ), and the drawing courses that were also held here by Dóra Maurer constituted significant developments in alternative artistic instruction in Hungary, the eects of which may still be discernible today. The courses, which were entitled “Creativity and Visuality,” were presented in the summer of 1976 in the Józsefváros Exhibition Hall (Józsefvárosi Kiállítóterem), where, for the length of the Exhibition, creative activities were organized under the guidance of the leaders of the Exercises, as well as members of the New Music Studio (Új Zenei Stúdió).
