About

The founding triad, Zöld Lajos, Gaál András and Márton Árpád have decided since the first years: “The Lăzarea art colony should be an open window to the world, it shall become the cross-section of the contemporary Romanian arts, by accepting and honoring all styles and trends.[…] Everyone paints, draws and carves whatever they wish at Lăzarea.“. An interesting coincidence was, that Gaál András stated after the very first closure in 1974: “we invite and accept visual artists only“.

Until 1988, when the colony was shut down by the communist regime, our collection had 616 items, which is still expanding. Today, we have 2117 pieces. Another interesting aspect of this collection is, that it is still whole, no pieces have ever been taken away, as it happend to the collections of many other art colonies throughout the country.

The events in december 1989 ushered a new era in Romania. Culture, as other aspects of life have changed dramatically. In the first half of the nineties, the Romanian artists’ society has been polarized by the new environment and media, and thus, they could leave behind the restrictions imposed by the former communist regime, benefiting from the support of various cultural organizations.

In the second half of the nineties, Romania began to see the appearance of international festivals, and contemporary artistic biennals, which at the start of the new century have grown quickly in numbers. The 1998 camp, lead by the Túlsó P’Art artist group was the major change in the camp’s concept. There are no more monolithic blocks, such as oriental and occidental. The globalization takes over, changing the occidental art, making it more sensitive to innovation. The drawback of this is, for the artists on the periphery, that they have to be vary for the ways which can bring them to attention. Those in the center have a lot more chance to become famous. For a lively organization, however, if it doesn’t concentrate on one era and it doesn’t think retrospectively, being aware of every change is a must. It is very important to cite the very eloquent statement of Erőss István: “Removing the local vs. universal, the hierarchical relation between periphery and center, from the context of this colony, and to become part of the international community, is only possible with carefully and patiently built relations”. In the past ten years, we had many European and far-eastern artist participating on the Korkép colony – boasting complete style liberty – organized by Siklódi Zsolt and Erős István. Many Transylvanian artists are invited to events abroad.

A new milestone has been reached by the colony in 2014. Administration changed, and the ownership of the castle which was the home of the colony, has been returned to its former owners as a result of court orders. Due to these changes and the lack of consensus, the camp had to leave the castle, but activity kept going on. Despite setbacks, in the period of 2014-2017, our collection grew with another 177 pieces.

Keeping the openness imagined by the founders, and which became a local brand, we accepted a rich multitude of styles and trends. We are working on organizing cultural and contemporary art events, concentrating on medial and conceptual styles.

The Szekler Legendarium project started in 2008 as a civil initiative, for the purpose of collecting and publishing the legends of the region, which represent a significant part of our intangible cultural heritage. Our project is mainly addressed to the children: we design and create products which can be attractive to them. Our very first product was a map of Szeklerland, decorated with illustrations of 156 legends related to the region. The success of this initiative inspired us to publish our collection of legends, and then we created audiobooks, coloring book and several types of games. Finally we established the first animation studio of the region, which has 14 members at the moment. We believe that the legends are lessons from our past, they give us a strong moral base in the present, showing a way to the future. Our mission is to promote these legends in a larger area, because they have not been included in the world literature so far. We would like to show the world that our region has a lot more exciting legends, older, than the Dracula horror story. In this small region almost every historical place, fortress, village and saint has at least one legend. Our area is populated by fairies, elves, demons, giants, dragons, warriors and kings. Szekler Legendarium is a European trade mark: we promote our legends inside and outside the country, while we support schools, teachers and foster homes with our products. Until now we received partial, non-political financial support to our objectives, but our long-term goal is to make the Legendarium project self-sustaining. In order to boost the tourism in our region, we have been working out the plans of Mini Transylvania Park, which will present the miniatures of almost 60 historical buildings and medieval fortresses of Transylvania. The park would take place in Szejkefürdő, near Székelyudvarhely, and it will offer several ways of having fun and developing knowledge about the multicultural Transylvania, for example we would like to establish a museum about the life of Orbán Balázs, the author of ”Description of the Szeklerland”, who was born and buried in the region. We intend to diffuse our animation series, in progress, at international level. Our cartoon series are based on the Szekler legends, presented mainly in 3D. We extended the Legendarium concept over the Carpathian region: we collect together and publish hundreds of legends of the Hungarian speaking communities from inside and outside the borders of Hungary. We collect separately the legends of our well-known saints and kings. In 2017 will appear our collection of legends about Saint Ladislaus, which presents more than two hundred memories and monuments from the Carpathian region in an exciting novel, addressed to children. We have been collected the legends of Virgin Mary from different European countries, extending our work to European level. In 2017 we organized the first edition of the Legendarium Carnival in Székelyudvarhely. The event gave the chance to group of children to present on scene their villages’ legend. The carnival was a success, it had about 4000 guests from the region. Encuraged by this success, we intend to organize it every year and also extending and enriching it as possible.
