Introduction

I graduated at Péter Pázmány Catholic University with a degree in Hungarian Language and Literature and Art History. After that, I completed the exhibition curator training of the Hungarian Cultural Institute. I did my PhD studies on a state scholarship between 2011-2014 at the Institute of Art History of Loránd Eötvös University, Budapest, where I defended my doctoral dissertation with a summa cum laude in 2020. Since 2018 I have been a member of the SZAB Fine and Applied Arts Working Committee of the board of trustees of the Szeged Kép-Szín-Ház Foundation.

My teaching activity is related to Szeged, but my curatorial work is mainly related to Budapest. I coordinate exhibitions and cultural programs, and in the summer I organize international graphic design camps in my hometown.

I have participated in several international conferences (Barcelona, ​​Split, Oradea, Timisoara). I have been working as an art writer for several well-known art magazines (Artmagazin, Új Művészet), and I regularly publish my writings and critiques in significant cultural forums.

 

Research profile

My main research areas are avant-garde and naive art in Hungary.
