What is this?

Look is a minor gallery with major ambitions. It is a private space for contemporary art. Practically a peephole in a door but in our hopes it serves as a window to the world.

It is almost a year to the day of Éva Magyarósi's
solo exhibition that LOOK presents
Where I Come From, an animated video from her ten-episode
Eden story cycle. Through their intimate tone, these "grown up fables" candidly reveal those ordinary and everyday life situations which – at the same time – mark the turning points in our lives, and the familiar feelings that come with them.

LOOK is proud to announce the screening of one of the early and most influential films of avant-guard British filmmaker John Smith.
The Girl Chewing Gum is capturing the comings and goings of a busy street corner on a gray day in Hackney, London in 1976. It is Smith's voiceover that transforms the documented incidental events into something fictional and constructed.

LOOK is proud to present
Nostra Culpa, a dramatic orchestral work in two movements often referred to as the world's first 'financial opera'. Representing both sides of the spending coin, the piece takes up the age-old economic disagreement of austerity vs. stimulus and was inspired by a spectacular row between Paul Krugman, the Nobel laureate economist and Toomas Hendrik Ilves, the President of Estonia on Twitter. Estonian vocal star Iris Oja will sing the words of both protagonists, from a libretto by Scott Diel and music by Eugene Birman. The Hungarian premiere of
Nostra Culpa will be performed by Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra conducted by Balázs Horváth.
