At the exhibition, I deal with teaching work through a special art project, as a conceptual work of art. For me, teaching is a creative artistic work the core of which is personation where creator and medium are in communication with one another, the continuous interaction of teacher and students shapes both active participants.

I review teaching processes through selected examples; I show answers my teachers gave to issues I raised, or solutions that are interesting for me. Even though the examples I chose may feel like having a good idea of teaching, while reality is that the core of real educational work is a well-structured and long process. Because it is in the framework of an exhibition, I did not organize the work I have done in the past years on scientific bases; instead I put it as a metaphor.

It is somewhat more and otherwise less than a scientific or classifications based showing. More in that it offers a chance to grasp it all, less in that it describes a long period as a coherent, finished one.

Space structures displayed in the exhibition room is really a construction the structure of which was made for this occasion only. I felt that a flexible, fragile, net-like structure would suggest the improvisation-based ideas, the continuity that serious education requires. On the surface, however, what we find is pictures I collected in the past years, pictures I inspired or I was inspired by them. This space-collage came to being during the exhibition indicating that it is not a final, finished work of art.
