Statement of the professional crew of Műcsarnok / Kunsthalle Budapest concerning the occurence of the change in the ownership of the Institution

The undersigned fellow-workers of Műcsarnok do not agree with the transmission of the building of Kunsthalle Budapest to the Hungarian Academy of Arts on the 1st of January, 2014. Furthermore they are regarding as disquieting that there was no professional discussion before this political decision.
According to our opinion the so formed situation is endangering the continuity of the independent professional work of the Institution and its operating according to schedule.
With this statement of ours we give voice to our intention to accomplish the already prepared program according to the previous plans.

Budapest, the 16th of October, 2013
