Visiting period: 13th of December 2024 – 14th of February 2025
Curator: Beáta Bordás PhD.
The exhibition was opened on the 13th of December 2024 from 6 pm, by Éva Judit Sztakics, vice mayor of Sfântu Gheorghe and dr. Beáta Bordás, coordinator of the Transylvanian Art Centre and curator of the exhibition.
The achievements of the Transylvanian Art Centre over the past ten years – more than 140 exhibitions, 90 catalogs, events popularizing the arts and two collections containing around 1200 of artworks – are perhaps worthy of celebration. Operating under the umbrella of the Municipality of Sepsiszentgyörgy, the Transylvanian Art Centre (TAC) has started its activity in its current headquarter on Olt st. 2 in the autumn of 2014, fulfilling important tasks related to creating a general (self-)image to Transylvanian visual arts.
At the 10 years anniversary of our existence, as a festive exhibition continuing a similar one created in 2019 and called Synopsis, Synopsis 2 presents an exquisite selection of artworks arrived since 2020 in the two art collections managed by the Transylvanian Art Centre: the collection of the Transylvanian Art Centre Association and the collection of the Sapientia Foundation.
The current celebratory exhibition presents 120 pieces, offering a selection of artworks that entered the two collections after the year 2020. We highlighted the most important and valuable works from the two collections, grouping them on regions, periods and topics – covering the main periods of Hungarian art from Romania in the 20th and 21st centuries, starting from the Nagybánya Painting School through the innovative tendencies from the 1960s–1980s to the contemporary art. Next to these, 13 works from the 2020 and 2022 Graphic Art Biennial of Szeklerland are on display. The latter were made with traditional graphic multiplication methods and loosely connected to each other via their topic (the human body and the representation of urban or imaginary spaces).
