Liget Galeria, Budapest

This gallery is one of the so-called independent small galleries which do not belong to the large institutional system. In Western Europe we find many of these galleries, but in Hungary there have only been a few.

The Liget Gallery is run within the confines of a community center, with an extremely low budget. It co-operates with other similar galleries, and has extensive international connections. These are mainly Central European, Austrian, German, Polish and Czech connections, but it has overseas relations as well...

The gallery has always taken heed of the avantgarde... the experimental art, the various new mediums, photography, video, installations and objects. They have arranged about two hundred exhibitions since 1983 .
