Pera Museum’s September exhibition showcases ‘algorithmic art’
The Suna and Inan Kıraç Foundation Pera Museum is preparing to welcome the fall season with an exhibition titled “Accounts and Coincidences: Algorithmic Art from the Hungarian National Bank Collection
The show features work by three algorithmic and computer art pioneers: Dora Maurer, Vera Molnar and Gizella Rakoczy. The exhibition, part of the 2024 Hungarian-Turkish Cultural Year, will focus on Molnar’s significant impact on computer art while also exploring how Maurer and Rakoczy’s artistic practices have expanded the boundaries of abstraction through the integration of computers, algorithms and mathematics. The exhibition will open on Sept. 19 and will be open to visitors until Jan. 26.
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is set to make the announcement on Thursday, including a 5% budget increase for all national museums and art galleries.
She is expected to use a speech in Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare, to announce a new £270 million Arts Everywhere Fund to help organisations in urgent need of financial support.
