The Center for Modern and Contemporary Art Debrecen, known as MODEM, will open ‘Idővarrás – Imre Mariann és Richter Sára párhuzamos kiállítása’ on August 15 at 4 pm in Debrecen. The event runs from 4 pm to 6 pm at MODEM Modern and Kortárs Művészeti Központ and is listed as free of charge.
According to MODEM’s announcement, the opening will include remarks, a curator-led tour and musical accompaniment. Vizi Kata, the institution’s managing director, is scheduled to give welcome remarks. The exhibition will be opened by Halász Rita, described in the source material as a writer and art historian. Curators Andrási Gábor and Süli-Zakar Szabolcs will lead the tour, and pianist Horváth Marcell will provide the musical contribution.
The museum presents the project as a parallel reading of two artistic careers. In the institution’s description, the exhibition brings together Imre Mariann and Richter Sára through “two narratives written in parallel,” allowing similarities and differences to become visible at once. The text frames ‘Idővarrás’ as a metaphor for the meeting point of the two oeuvres, suggesting that their works can be read as converging and diverging threads that ultimately create a shared pattern.
MODEM’s explanation gives a particular emphasis to the idea of making time material. In the museum’s wording, Imre Mariann’s works organize “the fabric of time,” while Richter Sára’s works connect “the stories of time.” The source also notes that one artist sews “the impossible material” and the other “the impossible story,” using the language of stitching to describe the exhibition’s conceptual structure rather than a literal technique alone.
The exhibition is presented within the context of MODEM’s broader programming in Debrecen. The institution identifies itself as the MODEM Modern and Contemporary Art Center and says the opening is open to all visitors. Its announcement also states that audio and video recordings may be made during the event and used for promotional purposes on MODEM’s platforms, and it reserves the right to change the program.
The exhibition details provided in the source material are concise, but they make clear that ‘Idővarrás’ is conceived as a joint presentation rather than a solo show. The curators are named as Andrási Gábor and Süli-Zakar Szabolcs, and the event has been positioned as an evening opening built around that curatorial pairing. The museum’s online listing gives the venue as MODEM Modern and Kortárs Művészeti Központ in Debrecen, Hungary, with the opening taking place on August 15, 2026, from 16:00 to 18:00.
