http://www.osaarchivum.org Missing Hero is the second exhibition of activist and graphic artist László Rajk’s series “Missing…”.
The exhibition will be opened by music historian András Wilheim
on November 4, 2011 at 6 pm
in Galeria Centralis (OSA Archivum), 1051 Budapest, Arany János u. 32.
A single sentence in the Preamble to the new Hungarian Constitution, which comes into force in January 2012, erases 46 years of Hungarian history, including the struggle for freedom, democracy, human rights and the ideal of the republic.
The nearly 46 frottage portraits constitute a kind of personal homage to politicians, dissident thinkers and artists, who embodied courage and the spiritual freedom during those “missing years”.
The exhibition runs from November 4 to 27, 2011. Free entry.
