OFF-BIENN\u00c1LE BUDAPEST AT THE TOP OF THE HUNGARIAN POWER 50<\/strong><\/h1>\n


COLLECTIVE IMPACT IN THE CONTEMPORARY ART SCENE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are pleased to share that OFF-Bienn\u00e1le Budapest has been prominently featured in A m\u0171<\/em>\u2019s 2025 Hungarian Power 50 <\/em><\/strong>list, which highlights the leading voices in the Hungarian contemporary art scene. The jury evaluated OFF as an independent curatorial collective and ranked it first in the curators and curatorial collectives<\/strong><\/em> category.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Power 50 introduced a revised approach: instead of a single ranking, it assessed key figures across five categories (institutions and decision-makers; artists; contributors to critical discourse – critics, writers, academics; curators and curatorial collectives; market figures and philanthropists<\/em>). The nomination process was structured along these categories, making it more visible how certain actors exert influence across multiple areas.<\/p>\n

In the case of OFF-Bienn\u00e1le Budapest, nominations came from several categories: some respondents considered it an institution, others a curatorial collective. The editors ultimately consolidated all votes cast for OFF and\u2014taking its self-definition into account\u2014placed it in the curators and curatorial collectives category. Within this field, OFF ranked decisively first.<\/p>\n

Several curators who played key roles in the 2025 edition of OFF also appear among the leading figures in the category. Alongside OFF, the highest number of votes went to L\u00edvia P\u00e1ldi<\/strong>, while Hajnalka Somogyi, Borb\u00e1la Szalai<\/strong>, and Nikolett Er\u0151ss<\/strong> were also among the top-ranked. After combining the votes received for their individual work and their contributions within OFF, they share first place; alongside them, other members of the OFF 2025 curatorial team are also listed: Rita K\u00e1lm\u00e1n, Eszter L\u00e1z\u00e1r, Edit Moln\u00e1r, Veronika Moln\u00e1r, Kata Oltai, Borb\u00e1la So\u00f3s, and Katalin Sz\u00e9kely<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to the feedbacks, the 2025 edition of OFF-Bienn\u00e1le Budapest was considered one of the most significant positive developments of the year,<\/strong> demonstrating that an internationally relevant, critically engaged contemporary art event can be realised without institutional backing. OFF-Bienn\u00e1le Budapest was not only a series of exhibitions, but also served as a platform for discourse, bringing social, political, and cultural issues into contemporary art discourse while providing opportunities for numerous artists and curators to present their work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall, the Hungarian Power 50<\/em> reflects a dual condition: while the institutional system remains dominant, self-organised and independent initiatives are becoming increasingly influential. In this context, OFF-Bienn\u00e1le Budapest emerges not only as a participant, but as a key shaping force within the contemporary art landscape.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congratulations to everyone featured on the list!<\/p>\n
