Calculations and Coincidences brought together three pioneers of algorithmic art—Vera Molnár, Dóra Maurer, and Gizella Rákóczy—through their works from the Hungarian National Bank Collection. The exhibition focused primarily on the profound influence of Molnár, who was unquestionably among the most significant names in computer art while tracing how the artistic explorations of Maurer and Rákóczy expanded the boundaries of abstraction through the integration of algorithms and mathematics.

Exercises in Spaces and Texts
May 23 - August 18, 2024

Pera Museum presented the exhibition PƎR Reverse in collaboration with Bauhaus-Universität Weimar’s "Practices and Politics of Representation" class, led by Prof. Mona Mahall with Yelta Köm, and Hochschule für Künste Bremen’s "Temporary Spaces" class of Prof. Aslı Serbest. Departing from two paintings in the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection, they explore global capitalist relations and localized cultural practices in art, as well as the role of architecture in both establishing and revealing the ways in which institutions mediate and operate in relation to their urban environments in a place and time.
