After her exhibition experience in Rome with OLTRE ROMA curated by Cramum, Hungarian artist Bea Székely returns to the spotlight in her homeland with the group show Felfedezők 7.0 – Határpróbák (“Explorers 7.0 – Boundary Tests”), the concluding event of the Budapest Art Mentor Program 2024/25, opening on October 21, 2025, at The Space, the program’s exhibition venue in the Hungarian capital.
The Space is both an exhibition venue and a training center dedicated to young visual artists, created to connect artistic research with the professional dimension of contemporary art.
Curated by Nikolett Arabadzsov and Zsófia Máté, the exhibition will remain open until November 21, 2025, accompanied by talks, guided tours, and workshops.
Bringing together fourteen emerging artists, the project explores the concept of the boundary as both a human experience and a creative tension. In Bea Székely’s works, the reflection on limits unfolds into a poetic exploration of memory, body, and light—where the boundary is not a barrier but a space of relation and metamorphosis.
Alongside Székely, exhibiting artists include Júlia Csapó, Györgyi Cséffai, Edit Cservenka, Melinda Dovák, Éva Jámbor, Attila Máté, Eszter Palik, Anita Papp, Viktória Pál, Mária Schuller, Viktória Szabolcsi, Gabriella Szalka,and Krisztina Vladár.
Boundary Tests fosters a dialogue between generations and artistic languages, inspired by the reflections of Foucault, Bataille, Derrida, Blanchot, and Kristeva, for whom the limit does not close but rather opens thresholds, transitions, and new possibilities.
A meaningful return for Bea Székely, who continues her investigation into the relationship between light and presence, reaffirming the dialogue between the new generation of Hungarian artists and the broader European contemporary art scene.
