The biannual Transylvanian Contemporary Art Salon offers a showcase for Hungarian artists under the age of 50 living or born here in Transylvania. As one of the curators of the exhibition, Péter Madaras, says in the introduction to the catalogue: “Through the lenses of Transylvanian artists, the exhibition tries to present a comprehensive picture of contemporary artistic endeavors today, juxtaposing those who draw from Transylvanian roots or experiences and those who strive for the most contemporary universal standards in their art.”

The second edition of the Transylvanian Contemporary Art Salon adds another thirty-five artists to the repertoire of young artists in Transylvania, in the context of the déjà vu phenomenon another thirty-five artists are given exhibition space. The title of the exhibition and the invitation refer to the aspect of the creative process through which eternal, universal themes, ideas and phenomenons reappear or return again and again. The resulting exhibition has a completely different atmosphere from the previous one, entitled INSTINCT. The works on display are perhaps more mysterious and the techniques used more varied.
