The recent expansion of large-scale international biennials and group exhibitions has significantly transformed the contemporary art world. Alongside the most significant biennials, such as Documenta, Manifesta and the Venice Biennale, now exhibitions in Berlin, Gwangju, Istanbul, Liverpool, Lyon, Prague, São Paulo and Sydney are also capable of mobilizing and convening the art world: artists, curators, critics, gallery owners, collectors, art directors, art historians as well as the broader public. These events are unique opportunities for presentation, that’s why we believe it is particularly important to ensure Hungarian participation. For this reason, through our Check-in Budapest program, we invite curators to Hungary, so that they get introduced to local artists. As the Hungarian partner of these international biennials, we are responsible for the preparation, co-ordination, professional and financial support of the Hungarian participation and play an active role in the production of new artworks.
