GRID2012 INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL
Sometimes, collaborations just click. CODE works with GRID, the largest international photography festival in the
Netherlands, to bring you an edit of thought-provoking images that deserve your attention. Here's an exclusive
selection of what to expect.
Ironically, the frenzied glut of image-sharing that has characterized the past decade means that expert
curating is more necessary – and more valuable– than ever. Now approaching its fifth edition,
the biennial GRID festival continues to showcase GR ID2012 Info Running from 16 May until 1 July,
CODE’s publisher and editor-in-chief Peter van Rhoon has selected the work of ten of the best international documentary
fashion photographers for a special exhibition at this year’s GRID. A celebration of contemporary photography
and men’s style in all its multifaceted glory, it demands to be seen.
Grandpa 2 by Barnie
(Hungary)
Curator Sander Benko says: ‘Toth intended to create a surreal world by taking fashion photography
from its clean, perfect and carefully constructed surroundings and putting it in a realistic and
authentic environment, full of people with different values. He […] blurs the boundaries between
documentary and fashion photography.’

Changing Europe, Changing Arts
In a series of four public sessions chaired by columnist-author Bas Heijne, we examine how cultural diversity – which now figures prominently within the public debate in Europe and is changing the face of the continent – is manifesting itself within today’s sector.
The focus of this series is especially on the grey area between the community arts and social arts on the one hand and haute art on the other hand. Examples from nine countries (the Netherlands, Lithuania, France, Britain, Hungary, Rumenia, Germany, Israel and Austria) demonstrated how our multicultural society can enrich culture and the arts. The emphasis is on these disciplines: architecture and views on living in (new and regenerated) urban areas; museums and the visual arts; as well as the performing arts and film. The central questions are: what makes the projects at hand so special; who attended these events; what was their general impact on the visitors; which questions were raised, which debates were triggered, and which changes in society were brought about? Other pivotal questions: which effect is the multicultural society having on the artists and event organizers themselves and on the artistic choices they are making?

Tuesday June 22, 2010

Goethe Institute
Westersingel 9, 3014 GM Rotterdam
Sculptor and painter Peter Abraham has already in his childhood surprised people around him with amazing, thought-provoking drawings and toys, which indicated his later commitment to art. The essence of his artistic philosophy is the interaction between the so called grand art, the elite culture on the one hand and the average life and mass culture on the other, as well as the ruining of borders between them and building them up again. His works are experimental, so he shares the intentions of contemporary artists who want to modernize visual language.

Travel with Evliya Çelebi in Hungary
By Mehmet Tütüncü
Pécs in southern Hungary, is one of the city / with Istanbul and Essen / chosen to be in 2010 European capital of culture.The Hungarian city of Pécs is highlighting its rich multicultural heritage. This is a place where we can still discover traces of the Turkish rule and in this aspect the city is the most oriental city of Hungary.
In Pécs we can find several Mosques still in used. One of the famous one is the Betktasi dervisch Mosque. Has to be mentioned the unique tomb of the Turkish holly man Idris Baba.
mr Mehmet Tütüncü introduces in his lecture some Turkish monuments of Pécs, which give this city a unique Hungarian-Turks character and travels through Hungary starting his journey with the memories of the world traveler Evliya Celebi from the 17th century ….
Film : The Little Voyage /A kis utazás
Hungary (2000) 100 min., color, 35mm
Hungarian with English subtitles
Director: Mihály Buzás
About the Film
Eastern European films have always had a special place for the personal history, the people's-eye, ground level view of a now discredited past. In this breezy, sarcastic story, set in the 1970s, a group of Hungarian teenagers win the coveted prize of a trip "abroad"--a summer's labor at a GDR youth camp. The supposed national characteristics of the Germans and the Hungarians sometimes come into play, but the real comedy is provided by incomprehension of other kinds; the usual gap between teenagers and adults is everywhere altered by the hypocritical need to pay "lip service" to the building of socialist character. ….

The Investigator (A Nyomozó)
Dir: Attila Gigor. Hungary / Sweden/Ireland 2007. 110 mins.
This quirky little thriller brings to mind Patricia Highsmith's Ripley series, where the perverted morality of the ending requires the reader to take sides with the villain. Here, a gruff pathologist (Anger) takes on the role of a contract killer only to discover he's the patsy - and now he must try to save his own skin.

Hungarian: Turkish Or Finnish? By dr. L.K. Marácz
http://home.medewerker.uva.nl/l.k.maracz
The Hungarian language is classified in linguistic course books as a Finno-Ugric language. This suggests that Hungarian is genetically related to Finnish and has nothing to do with Turkish. Hungarian displays however clear affinities with Turkish. Although the Finno-Ugric hypothesis is still awaiting futher prove, this alleged relation between Finnish and Hungarian has dominated the research agenda in Hungary and has even led to the invention of a new 'national identity for Hungarians'. Dr. Marácz belongs to those resesearchers that are not convinced of the correctness of the Finno-Ugric hypothesis. He will demonstrate how due to circumstances external to linguistics like 'Europeanness' Hungarian became Finnish and not Turkish.

Two films and an debate
The Black Box made by Márta Elbert 50 min.
The illegally distributed, banned writings, the classic written “samizdat”, played an important role in the communication of the oppositionist thoughts in Hungary already since the early eighties. Some programs of Radio Free Europe could be heard as a kind of spoken version of this. The government was firmly keeping its monopole status in film making and television broadcasting. From the middle of the eighties, private cameras and video players turned up in the country, too. In the hands of independent filmmakers the news recording equipment which was capable of the immediate documentation of the events, found the areas forbidden to the official media quickly.
This new possibility of information brought Márta Elbert, a producer who was working in a film studio, Judit Ember and András Lányi, directors, and Gábor Vagi, sociologist, together. They found the name “Black Box” for themselves and they identified their film making activity as video magazine. In 1989, the “Black Box” received the official license to practice. Their work was crucial for the documentation of the regime change. Nowadays, the main topic is the suffering of lower social classes.

Film : Puskás Hungary
Puskás is apart, I think Pelé is pretty well the only one who is able to carry off his legendary status with the real grace. But Puskás was even greater than Pelé, precisely for the reason you have already alluded to: he was able to reach the peak twice over. Climb the Himalayas a second time. What for? To reach the summit twice over, that is almost incredible.”

Discussion on the Pan-European Picnic in 1989
20 years ago Hungary opened its border to the West. More thousands of people ran to Austria on the organised Pan-European Picnic where they met with their West German family members or left to their own destiny… What happened? Was it a well organised action or was it a spontaneous activity… and what about the rest? Rapid changes in Central Eastern Europe like the regime falls in Hungary, Romania, a country falls apart: Czech and Slovakia?

Kaizerstraat 25 2311 GN Leiden
Leiden Universiteit Plexus Studiecentrum
Oscar nominated film of Istán Szabó. The film was written
by Ronald Harwood based on the novel of W. Somerset
Maugham.
This movie is a great bit of fun: over the top in all the right
places, and with many laugh out loud moments. It is bright,
emotional, engaging, and witty, just like thetitle character, acted to
perfection by Annette Bening. It’s brilliantly acted from top to bottom,
with wonderful performances from even relative newcomers,
Lucy Punch and Shaun Evans.

18:30 Fehér tenyér (White Palm) Hungarian Film
Leiden Universiteit Plexus Studiecentrum
Kaizerstraat 25 2311 GN Leiden
The white palm is a catching movie about an athlete trying to
face his talent, the environment and the faults he commits. You
do not have to be a sport- lover to like this movie, it is about
more: about life. The only way to face your faults is to jump for
the next challenge and try it again. The main figure is a Hungarian
sportsman, who from his childhood trains to become an athlete.
We can see the way how he formed to the personality he
is: the cruel trainings from childhood, the family-background,
and the whole environment, a socialistic world. The story goes
in different time-zones: side by side we can follow the child
Dongó and his challenges, as well as the young man Dongó in
Canada, training the new generation and than trying again his
luck. The beginning of the movie is a bit slow, but it gets faster
and it just catches you already in the middle of the movie and does not let you relax until the end. This is also interesting, as is
based on a true story, the athlete plays himself in the movie. I
really liked it, so I suggest you to watch it.
