On May 15-16-17^th, Ráday Street, the Cultstreet of Budapest will welcome Plein Art – The Festival of Contemporary Arts. The event has quite a long history, as it is held for the 11^th time, and just as in last year, Plein Art is organized by Erlin Gallery and sponsored by the local government of Ferencváros. In this year, the main guest of the festival is Russia; thus, a big portion of the focus will be on Russian contemporary fine arts.

The musical, literary and performance events will take place outdoors in Ráday Street; furthermore, exhibitions will open in every hour. The visitors will have the chance to see the works of front-rank Russian and Hungarian contemporary arists, such as: Nyikolay Kopeykin, Sargsyan Hovan, and Olga Kisseleva from Russia, while Hungary is represented by Péter Markus, József Gaál and László Szotyori.

If you decide to visit Ráday Street during those three days, be aware that you can became a part of the statue exhibition that takes place outside on the street any second; moreover, you can bump into an outdoors improvised performance, or into an art flag exhibition, too. The atmosphere will certainly be very artistic and magical, with a hint of Russian virtue and the insanity of contemporary art.
Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?

(Such a shame, I could find it only in Hungarian.)
