The international group show accompaned the Géza Csáth Award ceremony, which is a literary award founded by the Association of Young Writers and is awarded annually. Géza Csáth (1887-1919), the eponym of the award was a Hungarian author, doctor and psychiatrist, outstanding and particular not only in his successes as a writer and a psychoanalyst, but also in his extraordinary and tragic life. The pop-up exhibition aimed to summarize the legacy of Csáth and to articulate topics reoccurring in his stories (e.g. childhood trauma, violence, dreams) through contemporary videoworks by world famous international artists and site-specific installations by young Hungarian artists. The title of the show is the last sentence of Csáth’s novel ’Black Silence’ and could be translated as ’Anyway, Doctor, I can not sleep properly’.
