A fundamental need of humans is to record their stories. Whatever we deem important to preserve – memories, beliefs, personal stories, or shared experiences spanning generations – we repeatedly organize into a visible form so that it can be passed on. Paintings and carpets are among the surfaces that carry meaning: into them, individual destinies are inscribed just as much as humanity’s collective knowledge. This practice repeats itself regardless of era or culture, allowing for a meaningful connection to emerge between a 1,700-year-old Inca rug and a contemporary painting from 2025 in this sense.

Interwoven makes this continuously recurring gesture visible: the HAB exhibition brings together works by artists of Oriental, African, and Hungarian origin, elevating antque carpets and contemporary paintings into a shared space that fosters a dialogue between diverse cultural experiences and visual modes of thinking. The dialogues created in space build bridges between time planes and cultures: the past and the present do not appear as separate entities but rather interpret one another, intertwined. In the patterns, materials, and recurring motifs of the carpets, the collective knowledge of a community or culture condenses, while the contemporary works provide new languages and new answers to questions raised in the past. The aim of the exhibition is to reveal connections: to explore how certain stories, forms, and thoughts appear and continue to live on in carpets and paintings, in traditional artisanship and in contemporary artistic reflection.

For nearly twenty years the sculptors Réka Gergely and Tamás Gilly have shared life and studio – an intimate partnership that quietly shapes their work. Numerous conceptual parallels and familial affinities can be observed – whether in their approach to form, their choice of materials, or, above all, in their understanding of the essential aims of sculpture and art. As in life, they mutually influence one another in their work.

In Réka Gergely’s sculptures, duality and unity are given particular emphasis, as is the tension between foreground and background, pointing toward a comprehensive relational order. This is the “point of presence” where one may encounter the experience of “the thing just so being.” In recent years, Tamás Gilly’s work has been chiefly concerned with how—and under what conditions—certain architectural elements can be transposed into sculpture, thereby producing a distinctive spatial articulation and singular formal logic.

Both artists’ sculptures are marked by a refined formal language and an abstract, reduced mode of expression that subtly prompts reflection and invites a wide range of possible interpretations. Their work privileges intuition alongside a distinctive aesthetic sensibility. Their aim is to find and inhabit the delicate equilibrium – the point of presence –where a “thing” is neither more nor less than what it is.
