ABOUT MÁRTA LACZA:

"Márta Lacza is not crazy about inviting immobility, but is a talent who always moves forward. She is brought along by her dynamics; she has a goal, and has fate with a shocking strength. She never gets tired of carrying it since she is stubbornly faithful to her own cross: the lusty torment of presenting complete existence.
(...) The reigning course is such that admits that it has no interest in the Hungarian people who are devoted to their past and history. Because the people are stubborn, hard to handle, cannot be subjugated terminaly, in one word: viable. (...) Márta Lacza realized this, and turned to colors and ancient myths in our privatized world simulated by computers and the bank elite, and made dirtier then ever.
(...) She is a rebel with her colors; she wants to grab light only to be. Fiat lux, let it be light to make the Hungarians kept in darkness see with their eyes."
(Kornél Döbrentei)
ABOUT ÁGOSTON DÉKÁNY:
"I answer simply to the material of this exhibition: what the visitors see is not a copy of an old house of Csepel, but a drawing, more precisely a drawing of Ágoston Dékány. This drawing is as typical of his art as its topic. The house is taken down, the model of the portrait gets old, but the drawing stays the same. If it gets destroyed, the memory of some might still keep it just as the widow of Buharin kept the will of her deceased husband, or the 'burning books' of Bradbury kept the artworks sentenced to perish on bonfire."
