Exhibitions

The Miszla Art Cultural Centre is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. Establishing and a long-term running of an artists’ residence is a major undertaking, and at the same time an ongoing adventure: filling this castle, with its unique atmosphere, situated in the centre of this small village, with meaningful content is a truly wonderful and responsible task. There are artists’ colonies in Miszla, and the name of this village in Tolna county has now become almost synonymous with Baroque music and contemporary art programmes.

’The Garden of Eternal Time’ offers a glimpse into a specific period of the Miszlai Collection: at the Etyek Workshop it presents the most recent works relating to the themes of the artists’ colony in recent years.

At the artists’ colony, time and space become unique, personal experience. Building on this, we can interpret the garden as a place of growth, but also as a metaphor of time – a space where the experiences of the past, the realisations of the present and the possibilities of future still taking shape come together. In the garden, time does not merely pass; it becomes visible: it leaves its mark in growth, change, the fading of flowers and new beginnings.

Nothing remains the same, yet there are things that can be preserved. A memory, a feeling, an encounter or the experience of a moment lives on within us; over time, it transforms and takes on a new form. In the exhibition ’The Garden of Eternal Time’, the seeds of thought that emerge from the artists’ individual life journeys take shape within the shared time and space of the artists’ colony – in the inspiring atmosphere of their shared existence – to form a collective tapestry of ideas.
