With the city of Pécs feverishly preparing to be the Capital of European Culture next year, the idea was born to revive the collaboration between the Zsolnay Porcelain Factory and contemporary fine and industrial art. The relationship with contemporary art is a noble Zsolnay tradition and past artists involved include József Rippl-Rónay, Ferenc Martyn and Victor Vasarely. Over the past few decades, due to the general crisis in porcelain in Europe, this venerable company has been concentrating o...n day to day survival. This is why we can attribute special importance to the programme series sponsored by the Pécs 2010 Management Centre and the Ministry of Education and Culture, which gives the opportunity once again for contemporary art to make its presence felt between the walls of the factory. In 2008, the first ten enterprising artists experimented using the still remarkable Zsolnay technology to create autonomous works and not least, objects that were of a high artistic standard and suitable for manufacture. It is our hope that this exhibition will make it obvious for all visitors that Zsolnay ceramics and porcelain not only have a past but a present and more importantly, a future.
