Tribute to Eight Influencers by Brayden Bugazzi
This exhibition paid tribute to Audrey Hepburn, Basquiat, Chanel, Frida Kahlo, Karl Lagerfeld, Liechtenstein, Napoleon and Robin Williams. Brayden unveiled new limited edition Eyewear at the opening reception.
When the viewer sees Brayden’s work, they are first taken in by the bright colors and the fun story lines that he creates with the greater image. And it is only when you look closer at the fragmentations and reassembly of fine details of thousands of images Brayden uses to create his paintings that you will be able to finally understand the essence of the story within the larger context of the painting.

Paroxysm of Sublime
Location
Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions
The title of this exhibition, quoting a poem by sculptor Sara Favriau, emphasizes the unfolding of changes, leading to a paroxysm often followed by a drastic transformation. Directly referencing the overwhelmingness of the sublime as defined by Kant, the exhibition draws from the history and present of philosophy. To take on the concept of solastalgia, we need to question our definitions of “home” and “environment.”
A fragment.
A texture.
A photograph.
A piece of history.

OMIKE Art Action
Location
Dohany Street Synagogue
On the eve of World War II, laws restricting the lives of people of Jewish origin were introduced in Hungary. From 1938 onwards, institutions and events were established to “parry” the effects of these laws, such as the OMIKE group, who launched their Art Action in October 1939 with the aim of keeping Hungarian Jewry at the cultural level it had reached so far and on the other hand they wanted to provide Jewish artists, writers, and musicians with work and income, who were initially “just” expelled from institutions previously open to them as a result of the restrictions of Jewish law, and later most of them unfortunately lost their lives during the Holocaust.
The Dohány Street Synagogue, also known as the Great Synagogue, is the largest Jewish house of worship in Europe.
And somewhere between the object and the observer, the story becomes your own.

Bürger of Buda
Location

It follows the development of the social history of the bourgeoisie in the period between the end of the 18th century and the unification of the city. This was the period when the foundations of the concept of citizenship in today's sense were laid.
Today's Budapest - the capital of Hungary - was formed from the “building together” and merging in 1873 of three originally separate cities: of Pest built on the right bank of the Danube and of Buda and Óbuda, built on the left bank of the Danube.

Battle of Mohács, 1526
Location
Mohacs, Hungary
The National Memorial of Mohács fittingly presents to the visitors one of the most important historical events of the Hungarian people, the Battle of Mohács*, in the framework of an interactive exhibition.
The Battle of Mohács took place near Mohács on August 29, 1526, between the armies of the Kingdom of Hungary led by King Louis II and the Ottoman Empire led by Sultan Suleiman I the Great. The battle ended with an overwhelming Ottoman victory, as a result of which Hungary was divided into three parts. 150 years of Turkish rule followed in the southern and central parts of the country. The northeastern part of the country became the “colony” of the Habsburg Empire and after that for a long time preserved the existence of Hungary only in its name. Only the eastern, Transylvanian territories were able to retain their independence. For this reason, our later historiography referred to this day as "the great cemetery of our national greatness."
Project
Country of Opportunities
Location
Traveling Exhibition
The exhibition series focuses on the concept of “citizen”. Citizen, citizenship - these terms have been heard and used especially a lot since the 1989 regime change. But do we know what it is, what they mean? How has the important role of citizenship in industry, commerce, science, culture and public life developed? The exhibition presents this process through six dynastic stories.
Highlands is a field of mixed population of Hungarians and Slovaks. For 1,000 years it was the northern border region of historic Hungary, which was separated from Hungary after World War I as a punishment. It is now called Slovakia and it is a separate country.

An Era Among Historical Traumas
Location
Traveling Exhibition
Culture and patronage in Hungary between 1920 and 1944, during the “getting back on their feet” era after the signing of the Treaty of Trianon, which ended World War I (and which annexed two-thirds of Hungary's territory!). It gives a unique picture of the scientific improvements and culture of a quarter of a century.
During this period lived e.g. János Neumann, the founding father of the modern computer, Ede Teller, the inventor of the hydrogen bomb, Albert Szent-Györgyi, the exploler of vitamin C, and most of the leading researchers in the Manhattan Project*, e.g. Leó Szilárd, the inventor of the nuclear reactor, Tódor Kármán, the father of supersonic flight, Jenő Wigner, the improver of the theory of nuclei and elementary particles, etc.
The Manhattan Project was a joint venture for the development of nuclear weapons during World War II, involving the United States, Great Britain, and Canada. President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided to launch it in 1942 on the initiative of the Hungarian Leó Szilárd (who was also supported by Albert Einstein).
