A book presentation of the title "Schools and museums of modern design in Transylvania around 1900," by Miklós Székely, will take place on October 16, 2024, at the Polytechnic University of Turin.
The MTA Psychiatric Art Collection will be closed from July 30 to August 25, 2024.
The collection is participating with 39 works in the Estonian exhibition "Hidden Worlds Expanding, Eastern European Outsider Art," which is on view until September 29.
The 43rd ESHHS conference will be held from 25 to 28 June 2024 at the University of Essex. Monika Perenyei, senior research fellow of the Institute of Art History, and Professor Raluca Soreanu, psychoanalyst and head of the FreePsy Project at the University of Essex, will present their paper: "The Dream Album. The Album of Angyalföld Museum and the Politics of Presentation of the Asylum in Interwar Budapest."
The time limits of the volume are marked by a fundamentally short historical period, the two decades of the half-century history of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, when the economic catch-up of Transylvania and the clarification of the presence of Hungarian culture were intertwined in many cases. The memories of industrial vocational education in Transylvania bear witness to the spread of modern technologies and educational methodology and the thin border between the artisan’s and the designer's activities.
