The German couple, Irene and Peter Ludwig, who were the founders of the Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art, Budapest, had a collection of more than 12 thousand works of art, ranging from antiquities to contemporary art. In 1991 on the first floor of Building A of the Hungarian National Gallery, the Ludwig Foundation put 91 works on long-term deposit. The opening of its first autonomous exhibition marked the debut of the Ludwig Museum Budapest, the first institution in Hungary concerned with international contemporary art.
Since the art works received from the Ludwig Foundation represent the pre-1990s era, works produced since then are purchased – often with the continuing financial support of the Ludwig Foundation – by decision of the Museum’s own Board. As a considered part of its mission, it presents and collects work by artists of the former “eastern bloc” and sets alongside each other a broad range of definitive international and Hungarian works from particular eras.
The Ludwig Museum’s collection building, exhibitions and events aim at enabling a wider public to form a closer acquaintance with contemporary art. We provide continuous dialogue between past and present, between mainstream art and experimental artistic initiations. The Museum functions as a public space open to the widest possible public. Following the principle of inclusivity, the Museum is continually working on providing ever better conditions of access to its collection and events. We strive to conduct our daily work in an economically and environmentally sustainable form.
Thinking about the possibilities offered, our programme for theme nr. 4, ie “personal vs. shared - from ones own body to political systems” - we try to interpret the abstract concept of sustainability at the level of individuals and examine the relationship between how an individual can affect (even through a work of art) the community and vice versa, the community sensitizes existing socio-economic tensions, environmental issues. Our programmes (Educator’s Tuesday, Wake up!, Spirit of Sustainability) are organized by museum educators and we address three different target groups: teachers, adults, high school students. Our main question towards these groups is "Who is responsible?"
Ludwig Museum Budapest – SEFO Eduction Program Plan 2021
Scheduled date: 29 November - 5 December, 2021
Thinking about the possibilities offered, our program for theme nr. 4, ie “personal vs. shared - from ones own body to political systems ” - we would try to interpret the abstract concept of sustainability at the level of individuals and examine the relationship between how an individual can affect (even through a work of art) the community and vice versa, the community sensitizes existing socio-economic tensions, environmental issues. Our programs (Educator’s Tuesday, Wake up!, Spirit of Sustainability) organized by museum educators and we would like to address three different target groups: teachers, adults, high school students. Our main question towards these groups is "who is responsible?".
1. Forum for Professionals: Our Educators’ Tuesday program is an occasional thematic day for teachers and museum educators. On the November event, the exchange of experiences would contribute to examine sustainability through museum education and the school environment. What opportunities does an educator have to convey a more conscious approach in school and museum spaces, and how can students be brought to the attention of contemporary problems?
Location: Zoom
2. High school students: We would focus on social dilemmas in our sensitization session. The 2-hour program would include a fresh community card game Wake up! Https://ebreszto.wobe.hu/, in which players find themselves in a dream, located in a 21st century Eastern European dictatorship with. In the game, they meet with political, social and personal problem areas as well. Furthermore, like the problem areas of the game, there are artefacts of this kind in the Ludwig Collection, so students get new aspects through the examples of the two. At the end of the program, students should design an ideal school where students can not only have a good time, but consider their own active presence as social and political actors and determinants in the life of a community. We will also document the students ’program and summarize the lessons in few minutes of videos, which we publish online.
Location: Ludwig Museum
3. Adults: We try to deepen the spirit of sustainability through a complex guided tour, a so called “intellectual togetherness”. In addition to the related works of art in the Collection, we provide guidance on various aspects of sustainability through quotations and text excerpts, and then, based on the participants own experiences and sharing their personal experiences, we search for connections between themes of artworks (nature, food, industry, human rights, etc.) and peoples everyday lives. Through a deeper knowledge of works of art, we have a better insight into a more in-depth view of our own environment.

One of the projects of the educational department within the SEFO 2021 Triennial is the installation Concert for 3 Piano Wings, which visitors to the Museum of Art can see in the Besední Hall and not only in it. Thanks to the virtual tour, you can now walk through it from the comfort of your living room - just click HERE.
The installation reminds visitors of the place's familiar memory and at the same time artistically treats its very recent state, which no one but the staff of the institution could see. The newcomer can perceive the installation actively and passively, but only through its active knowledge will they experience the feelings of the revision of the offered reality.

The SEFO project is based on multidisciplinary and international cooperation. An integral part of this objective directly related to the vision of SEFO is the Fórum publication series, which SEFO is deliberately developing in areas whose relationship with visual culture is more contextual, creative and conceptual, i.e., history, sociology, political science, religion studies and others. The primary leitmotif remains the idea of Central Europe – its social, cultural and political identity and historical transformation. The basic premise of SEFO – its openness – is naturally also reflected in the scheme of the publication series, which is focussed primarily on new works of a professional nature and a Central European origin. Nevertheless, some of the texts are exotic or of a reference nature, older or from the genre of belles-lettres. The selection of works is based on the museums own research plan, indirectly linked to specific projects, inquiries and current topics.
The first work in the Fórum series is by Viennese authors Erhard Busek and Emil Brix entitled Mitteleuropa Revisited. Warum Europas Zukunft in Mitteleuropa entschieden wird (Central Europe Revisited. Why Europe’s Future Will Be Decided in the Region). The authors published the book Projekt Mitteleuropa (Project Central Europe) in 1986, and after 30 years, these two “promoters of the Central European idea” decided to return their attention to this region once again. Busek and Brix deliberately and carefully revise their visions, in the process discovering new reflections on Central Europe today and perhaps even its future. With a very erudite and yet accessible approach, the book discusses the fundamental issues of the changing geopolitical and economic realities of our continent. The essays provide diagnoses and prognoses of the region and shed light on many suspected but also unforeseen historical, social, cultural and political contexts. There are even thoughts on relations between Central Europe and the Russian Federation and the European Union. In addition to the original German, the book has also been published thus far in English, Polish and Hungarian.

Fórum - thats the name of a new book series being produced as part of SEFO activities. This project develops themes in the literary field that are contextually, imaginatively and conceptually related to visual culture (history, sociology, political science, religious studies, etc.). The focus remains on the reflection of Central Europe, its social, cultural and political identity and historical transformation.
The edition will not only present translations of newly published professional publications, but will also include reference texts, older texts or texts in the field of fiction. The choice of titles is based on the institutions research plan, indirectly linked to specific projects and current topics.
"The first volume with which we are opening the Forum edition is the Czech edition of the book by the authors Erhard Busek and Emil Brix from Vienna, Central Europe Revisited. Both authors previously published the book The Central Europe Project and after thirty years they decided to focus on this region once again. They are revising their visions and thus bringing new reflections of both present and future Central Europe," says Zuzana Henešová, editor-in-chief and translator of the first volume.
"One of the main partners in the SEFO project is Palacký University, so the professional cooperation on the edition with the university publishing house was an obvious choice," she adds. On Tuesday, 9 November, the book will be presented at the Palacký University, accompanied by a public debate with both authors and the leading Czech Germanist Prof. Ingeborg Fürst-Fialová.

The East Slovak Gallery was established in 1951 in the second largest city in Slovakia. Since its establishment, the gallery has undergone many changes and numerous high-quality artworks have been added to its collection. Our task is to continually collect, showcase and preserves Slovak and foreign fine art, and raise awareness of its complexity and diversity.
The establishment of our gallery, and the building of the former county hall in which the gallery is located, is closely linked to the city of Košice and the rich history of the region of Eastern Slovakia, which has cultural and national significance. Our commitment is not only to work with visual art, but also to highlight relevant contemporary issues such as the climate crisis, social inequality, segregation and intolerance. We take care of the environment and follow the Green Code. We have set ourselves the objective of becoming an inclusive institution that reflects the world in which we live. In addition to collecting, researching, documenting and presenting fine art, we have re-opened our library with a specialized library fund for our visitors and researchers.
We build on the hard work of our predecessors with the energy of a new generation of curators, gallery educators, and professional staff thinking about art as a catalyst for present and future ideas. Our exhibition projects are diverse and range from old to contemporary art. Outside of exhibitions, the gallery also prepares a rich programme for the professional and general public from the youngest visitors to the elderly. Our team is working to create a professional documentation centre, and we are gradually improving the conditions in the depository for the storing of artworks. We strive to bring quality solutions and new approaches, working in cooperation with renowned architects, artists and scientists.
The inclusive programme is oriented on various visitors. The museum preserves an extensive collection of art from the old masters to contemporary art. Our visitors are diverse, from children to seniors and we use an inclusive approach and programme to open our cultural institution to anyone. We want culture to be bonding and to be available to everyone.
We selected a topic of real and virtual worlds and how we form them. With the rising wave of nationalism and conservativism, we think, as a public institution, our mission is to look back and talk about the past to understand the future. We create our own reality, and we strongly believe that by knowledge, understanding, and respect, we can help in forming a considerate and thoughtful society. Our programme consists of different talks, presentations, discussions tailored to our exhibitions, with the focus on the above-mentioned topics with the special focus on moving borders, mixing nationalities, ethnicities, minorities, etc. As for the virtual worlds, we want to work with our new mobile application and present these ideas in the world of the new normal.

What will it be like with cooling or heating in the planned building of the Central European Forum Olomouc? Will the entrance area and entrance sufficiently attract visitors? Do you also think about the ecological aspects in connection with the construction? Have you considered a possible connection between SEFO and the adjoining tram depot if the city relocates it elsewhere?
Saturday (September 18, 2021) discussion lasted almost two hours at the Olomouc Museum of Art regarding news related to the construction of SEFO and its exhibition or acquisition plans. The half-hour introduction was provided by the director of MUO Ondřej Zatloukal, the author of the SEFO architectural design Jan Šépka and the chief curator of the SEFO department Barbora Kundračíková, but then the debate of thirty participants in the Trojlodí hall, where the main exhibition of the SEFO 2021 Triennial is now.
"Recently, we managed to buy the last plot in the gap, which we have been striving for since 2009," the director Ondřej Zatloukal announced at the beginning. "We are now preparing a public contract for the general designer, in 2023 we are counting on the start of construction. If everything went according to plan, we could complete the construction work in 2026 and start moving to a new building. We could open a year later. "
The architect Šépka presented two novelties. "Thanks to the acquisition of the plot, we will connect Denisova Street with Kačení at its mouth into Koželužská. The first part of SEFO, which connects to the Museum of Modern Art, will be a passageway, "Šépka showed in a pictorial presentation. He then "got" the present with another novelty: "We are now exploring the possibilities of 3D printing from high-strength concrete. The load-bearing walls would have better insulating properties, and we would also save significantly, as there would be no need for formwork or reinforcing iron bars as in the construction of classic reinforced concrete. ”
The planned exhibition of modern Central European art should include, in addition to a well-thought-out system of variations, interventions and programs, such as the cybernetic statue of Senster. "Its a two-and-a-half-meter-high sculpture with four-meter arms that responds to movement and sound. It was created in the early 1970s by Polish author Edward Ihnatowicz for an exhibition in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. After the end of the exhibition, it was dismantled, but four years ago the individual parts were purchased by the University of Science and Technology in Kraków, which reconstructed it. The system of long-term loans with a similar type of partners should help to establish the principles of the forum as a shared space, in which it is primarily a matter of discussing possibilities and different interpretations, "outlined curator Barbora Kundračíková, where she considers thinking about a new exhibition. However, it is not just about her - the aim of current efforts is to connect the interior of the institution with the public.
Questions from the audience were very much about the possibility of construction through 3D printing, but also the technical solution of cooling the entire building. Architect Šépka replied that the calculations show the ecological character of the building, because due to the height of the individual naves, there should be a similar effect as in Gothic churches. According to him, cooling is not needed. Director Zatloukal and architect Šépka in particular reacted to various reservations. They concerned, for example, the planned entry into SEFO or the breadth of individual ships and their usability.

Do you also think about the ecological aspects in connection with the construction? Have you considered a possible connection between SEFO and the adjoining tram depot if the city relocates it elsewhere?
Saturday (September 18, 2021) discussion lasted almost two hours at the Olomouc Museum of Art regarding news related to the construction of SEFO and its exhibition or acquisition plans. The half-hour introduction was provided by the director of MUO Ondřej Zatloukal, the author of the SEFO architectural design Jan Šépka and the chief curator of the SEFO department Barbora Kundračíková, but then the debate of thirty participants in the Trojlodí hall, where the main exhibition of the SEFO 2021 Triennial is now.
"Recently, we managed to buy the last plot in the gap, which we have been striving for since 2009," the director Ondřej Zatloukal announced at the beginning. "We are now preparing a public contract for the general designer, in 2023 we are counting on the start of construction. If everything went according to plan, we could complete the construction work in 2026 and start moving to a new building. We could open a year later. "
The architect Šépka presented two novelties. "Thanks to the acquisition of the plot, we will connect Denisova Street with Kačení at its mouth into Koželužská. The first part of SEFO, which connects to the Museum of Modern Art, will be a passageway, "Šépka showed in a pictorial presentation. He then "got" the present with another novelty: "We are now exploring the possibilities of 3D printing from high-strength concrete. The load-bearing walls would have better insulating properties, and we would also save significantly, as there would be no need for formwork or reinforcing iron bars as in the construction of classic reinforced concrete. ”
The planned exhibition of modern Central European art should include, in addition to a well-thought-out system of variations, interventions and programs, such as the cybernetic statue of Senster. "Its a two-and-a-half-meter-high sculpture with four-meter arms that responds to movement and sound. It was created in the early 1970s by Polish author Edward Ihnatowicz for an exhibition in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. After the end of the exhibition, it was dismantled, but four years ago the individual parts were purchased by the University of Science and Technology in Kraków, which reconstructed it. The system of long-term loans with a similar type of partners should help to establish the principles of the forum as a shared space, in which it is primarily a matter of discussing possibilities and different interpretations, "outlined curator Barbora Kundračíková, where she considers thinking about a new exhibition. However, it is not just about her - the aim of current efforts is to connect the interior of the institution with the public.
Questions from the audience were very much about the possibility of construction through 3D printing, but also the technical solution of cooling the entire building. Architect Šépka replied that the calculations show the ecological character of the building, because due to the height of the individual naves, there should be a similar effect as in Gothic churches. According to him, cooling is not needed. Director Zatloukal and architect Šépka in particular reacted to various reservations. They concerned, for example, the planned entry into SEFO or the breadth of individual ships and their usability.

In connection with the long-term strategy of the Central European Forum Olomouc (SEFO), selected foreign institutions will also be presented within the accompanying program of the SEFO 2021 triennial. The first will be The International Cultural Center, which will now transfer the Triennial to Krakow.
The International Cultural Centre is a place to reflect on culture and cultural heritage in the face of present day challenges. The institution focuses on the areas of cultural heritage theory, philosophy and management, remembrance, identity, the cultural space, art and heritage of Central Europe, dialogues between cultures, the city as a mirror of civilization, cultural policy and culture economics. The ICC’s watchword is interdisciplinary. Our institution is active in a number of areas, joins points of view, draws on the achievements of a range of fields of study to share, in the most extensive but at the same time most coherent and objective manner possible, its experience in cultural heritage in its universal dimension. The ICC is a national institution of culture involved in research, study, educational and information activities.
The International Cultural Centre was founded on 29 May 1991 during the CSCE Symposium (Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe), when representatives of the East and West debated culture and heritage for the first time after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Since its inception, the ICC has had its seat in the historical Ravens House in the Main Market Square, a building that goes back to the Middle Ages. The location in the centre of the city and once at the heart of Central Europe, helps us pursue our mission, which is to support cultural integration in Europe and to protect its cultural heritage.

In connection with the long-term strategy of the Central European Forum Olomouc (SEFO), selected foreign institutions will also be presented as part of the accompanying programme of the SEFO 2021 triennial. The education departments of the SEFOs partner institutions were invited to collaborate on the international programme. With the prepared submissions, these partners will transfer the triennial from Olomouc to their spaces and introduce their visitors to the individual topics of the main exposition of the SEFO 2021 Universum triennial, while offering their own interpretation of the chosen issue.
The collaboration is based on the idea that the approaches presented in the Olomouc exhibition are undoubtedly unique, but the issues they address are universal and can be repeatedly examined in a large number of independent cases within a (limited) category of visual art. Reinterpretation does not refute the presented system; on the contrary, it opens it to new perspectives and confirms that the process of “questioning” can never be considered complete.
The programme itself will take place on two levels, mainly during selected weeks in individual partner museums with a focus on local audiences, but also in part online with an effort to create an interactive network across institutions.

"Abstract images refer to many facts: to the reality of man, nature, God. God can be present in every fact; however, an abstract image can be a dialogue with God without the transmission of another fact, it can be a prayer."
Jan Pamuła is not just a painter. In recent years, his work has increasingly focused on the use of new technologies. Digital processing offers him new possibilities, inserting personal moods and experiences, traces of his own reflections and experienced events between various matrices and images of the world. So far, the last stage, which seems to arouse the most emotions in the artist at the moment, are light boxes and digital animations.
Chamber installation in the crypt of the Cathedral of St. Wenceslas in Olomouc will present light objects created by the author in the past 5 years. The unique environment will allow the viewer to imaginarily enter into a dialogue between sacred and abstract art.

collective performance in public space, Columbusplatz Vienna, 05th, June 2021

During the seminar “Worst fear, best fantasy” at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, in the Department of Site-Specific Art, a group of young artists and Anna Witt developed a collective performance in public space. As preparation, they walked through the city, looked for places, discussed the meaning and potentials of certain locations in public space and finally selected the Columbusplatz in Viennas' district Favoriten, close to the central station, as their starting point and stage for public interventions.
Columbusplatz, named after Christopher Columbus, is a square located between a busy road and a pedestrian zone, framed by historical buildings, with a fountain, cafes and flower beds. Traces of consuming oriented city development are undermining this place. A big entrance to an underground car park is cut into the middle of the square, leading to the Columbus Center, a modestly functional shopping mall with an aggressive postmodernist mirror glass facade, with an abstracted egg-shaped bay window integrated.
In the context of this urban environment, several meetings took place, in which the group used a loose set of “body exercises” to get in an open and experimental dialogue within the group, the public space and people around. The starting point for these experiments was a given platform in the centre of the square. Body exercises like falling, standing, or balancing weight, reach from singular exposure of a vulnerable body, to group acts of symbiotic movements of a collective force, to symbolic gestures resolving in absurdity. The performers experiment with dependencies, gravity and the breaking point of a group. Body-configurations and group dynamics influence each other mutually and create an inner narrative. In other exercises, the idea of self-control or external power and activeness or passiveness played an important role. The exercises followed a loose structure, where a set of ideas was fixed but the specific enactment was largely improvised. A group with defined rules but without allocation of roles, communicating bodily and intuitively about the next step to take. There were moments of discomfort and disorientation, which were accepted as the necessary side effect of being open and accessible to the unforeseen and incidental. In certain moments, even a child-like flow of playing occurred.
Columbusplatz is a very lively Plaza. The performance took place in coexistence with other activities there. Performers did not grasp for special attention, nor was anybody disturbed by their presence, at times joining into the playfulness which was there already. This motivated a certain intimacy within the group, with being able to concentrate but also lean back into the surrounding noise. An interaction with passersby was not forced, nor avoided. It could happen at any time. The performances were abstract in a way, to give space for connection between different personal ideas and layers of meaning inherent at the place itself.

Can we use public space in Olomouc? Does it include art at all? These questions and many others were answered by thirty interested parties by experts on a guided walk through Olomouc and the subsequent discussion in the MUO Trio within the Triennial | SEFO | 2021
Martina Mertová, curator of the architecture collection of the Museum of Art, Jan Jeništa (For beautiful Olomouc), sculptor Pavel Karous (project Aliens and Herons), Marie Foltýnová (curator and head of the Department of Public Sculpture Administration of the Gallery of the Capital City of Prague), Marek Sivák (architect, Pěstuj prostor Plzeň), Zuzana Godálová (director of the Topolčany association, platforms 1-12) or art historian Jana Kořínková.

The works of Jan Pamuła, a pioneer of computer art in Poland, are presented by MUO not only as part of the exhibition Triennial | SEFO | 2021, but also in the first comprehensive monograph of this artist. You can buy it now in our e-shop.

The main exhibition presents a group of authors from the wider Central European region, who in their work repeatedly address the issues of determination, naming, composition, organization and meaning of the elements that make up the world we inhabit. These include Uršula Berlot-Pompe, Zdeněk Trs and Jaroslav Grulkowski and Lubomír Axmann, representing the apparent transparency of a logical system, technically accurate visualizations of its structure. Visitors can also see the realizations of Jana Gunstheimer, Áron Kútvölgyi-Szabó, Agata Gertschen, Ondřej Přibyl, Joanna Leszczyńská, Adam Kokesch and other Central European artists. The exhibition includes relatively separate exhibitions Human Records (curator Šárka Belšíková), Hunted (curator Štěpánka Bieleszová) and presentations by Pavel Büchler (curator Gina Renotière).
Ladislav Daněk presented a large retrospective exhibition by Jan Pamuła, the founder of computer art in Poland. Pamuła is a personality of European format, his works regularly appear at important Polish and foreign exhibitions and his works are owned by leading museum institutions not only in Poland but also abroad. The exhibition follows the systematic presentation of the most prominent artists working in Central Europe and conceptually fits into the project of the Central European Forum Olomouc.
The curator of the architecture collection, Martina Mertová, introduced the audience to the Hey-Act! Under the leadership of Szymon Rozwałka, students of the Institute of Experimental Creation at Brno University of Technology were looking for a concept of how to deal with the valuable but neglected area of the Hejčín district and the abandoned building of the Faculty of Science. Are there ruins that we can simply demolish or recycle ourselves for? What is the potential of the whole territory? Can it become the new center of the urbanly clueless and congested Hejčín? What other features can it handle? Is it bold to revise the valid territorial documentation?
For another guided tour of the triennial, those interested can come on Thursday, July 15, 2021 from 5 pm.

The Triennial of Contemporary Central European Art is the product of a long-term effort of the Olomouc Museum of Art. It is part of the Central European Forum Olomouc (SEFO) programme and complements the range of activities dedicated to this geographically and semantically unstable region. The triennial is thematically focused, community-oriented and open to partners, including the Palacký University, the Academia Film Olomouc, the Flora Olomouc Theater and the Olomouc Ecological Days, respectively the Ludwig Museum and Kassák Museum in Budapest, the East Slovak Gallery in Košice, the Kunstmuseum Lentos in Linz and the International Cultural Centre in Krakow.
The SEFO 2021 Triennial of Contemporary Central European Art is named Universum. This project is based on the long-term efforts of the Olomouc Museum of Art to embrace the Central European idea not only in the past but also in the present. Does Central Europe even still exist? Didn’t it break apart definitively in 1989? Has it been reduced to political caricature today? Or, on the contrary, is it an escape into the utopias of childhood or homeland? While the Triennial naturally cannot answer these questions, it can at least ask them.

In 2019, the innovator Tomáš Studeník came up with an idea to celebrate one hundred years since the first performance of Karel Čapeks play RUR (which brought the word "robot" into the world) in an unconventional way – by a theatre play written not by a human, but by artificial intelligence. Based on this idea, a team was formed consisting of computer scientists from Charles University Faculty of Mathematics and Physics (led by computational linguist Rudolf Rosa) and theatre-makers from the Švanda Theater and students of The Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (led by the head of the Švanda Theater, director and pedagogue Daniel Hrbek). By mutual cooperation and debate, they decided to answer the question of whether artificial intelligence is able to write a play and how it will behave when processing such a task.

The first year of the triennial of contemporary Central European art will start in the summer months of 2021. It will thus freely follow the traditional spring festivals that take place in the city and with which it eventually shares the programme lines. At the moment, the final preparations are culminating, at the same time the project is adapted in case of persistent restrictions. Due to the circumstances, the organizers decided to expand the program and events marked "SEFO 2021 Triennial" have been taking place since October this year, when the first festival exhibition was opened, Terezinália: Archeology of Change (Caesar Gallery). Other short-term or isolated productions will continue throughout the next year. Watch our programme online, on the web or FB.
