Exhibition
Grotesque - Eastern Europe's common language Vernissage
Time: Saturday, 10:00 – 10:45
Location: Garage row next to TriCollis Pizzeria
Free entry
Eastern Europe has been a geopolitical buffer zone for centuries, and so the people living here have had to learn to communicate between the lines and laugh at their own impossible situation, which has created an unmistakably unique form of expression, the Eastern European grotesque. Instead of focusing on the differences between the many peoples of the region and the East-West divide left over from the Cold War and increasingly irrelevant in the age of globalization, the GROTESK photo project showcases the best of Eastern European absurd photography, highlighting what connects us and draws attention to our common values.
The selection of photographs is curated by OFF Bratislava Bratislava, Fotograf Festival Prague and Fotofestiwal Łódź Poland
Participation is free of charge.

Participation on the guided tour of the temporary exhibition of the 2025 KERT cultural season is free of charge, but prior registration is required. Registration here.
Paths and passageways The exhibition draws on both the history of the monastery garden and the symbolic interpretations of the garden, which have remained constant through the ages, yet are constantly evolving. Through the metaphor of the garden, the participants in the exhibition reflect on the pressing social and ecological issues of the present and our relationship to spirituality.
The exhibiting artists are Tamás DEZSŐ, Kitti GOSZTOLA, Tibor ISKI KOCSIS, Anikó LORÁNT - Tamás KASZÁS, Dóra MATYUS, Sára RICHTER, Luca Sára RÓZSA
In addition to the participation of the artists, the exhibition is complemented by a slow walk led by psychiatrist Gergely Schell in the Arboretum. On the art trail entitled We Are One, visitors are guided by the watercolors of the young artist Anikó Loránt and the instructions of Gergely Schell. The meditative slow walk is an invitation to practice conscious presence in the environment that surrounds us and to observe what and who is around us without judgment.

"Never before has the situation been so serious," said German artist Sigmar Polke ironically decades ago. And today we can wonder what we might once have called a state of paradise. Students at the University of Fine Arts and the University of Theatre and Film Arts ask the question in this unprecedented situation: Garden of Eden?
