*Marina SORBELLO*, curator, critic, co-founder of Uqbar in Berlin (Germany)



*Curatorial positions – Check in **Budapest** 2.*
The guests of the second edition of *Check in Budapest* are young curators
who are respected due to their strong professional strategies as determining
figures of the international contemporary art scene. The curatorial career
of Mihnea Mircan, Simon Rees and Marina Sorbello is representing three
different models. Mircan is currently working as freelance curator, Rees is
the curator of Lithuania's leading contemporary art institution, as long as
Sorbello is the co-founder of a grassroots initiative. Nevertheless with
respect to the open and dynamically changing system of the international art
scene all of them obtained similar professional successes.

The guests of *Curatorial Positions - Check in **Budapest** 2.* will talk
about the features of the different models, as well as about their current
projects and future exhibition plans.

*Check in **Budapest***
The curatorial visitor program *Check in Budapest* is a series of events
taking place between October 2008-June 2009. In accordance with the main
goal of the hosting organization - ACAX | Agency for Contemporary Art
Exchange – this program aims to establish and maintain channels of effective
and continuous professional communication among the actors of the Hungarian
and international art scene, as well as to promote and support the
international appearance and integration of Hungarian artists.

The different editions of *Check in Budapest* consist out of two main
activities: a curatorial research, completed by public presentations and
panel discussions.

In order to give an extensive insight into the Hungarian art scene and the
places of art production, the curatorial research program will include
guided tours to different galleries and museums, as well as meetings with
artists, curators and key cultural producers.

Each public lecture and talk will focus on a special topic – such as
international residency programs; the diverse possibilities, formats,
conceptual and economic frameworks for art production; or the methods of
collecting and archiving contemporary art. The thematic events will bring
together different international curators who will present their work and
strategies to the Hungarian audience and share their ideas with each other
in a public debate.

*Check in Budapest* is initiated and organized by ACAX | Agency for
Contemporary Art Exchange in collaboration with Kunsthalle Budapest, as well
as the financial support from the Ministry of Education and Culture.

The second edition of *Check in Budapest* is taking place in Ernst
Museumduring the exhibition
*Overcoming* (www.mucsarnok.hu/new_site/index.php?lang=en&t=477&curmenu=101
).

 ACAX is the international exchange program of Ludwig Museum–Museum of
Contemporary Art, Budapest (www.lumu.hu)
