The project Encounter of Parallels signifies a chain of fifteen one-night events representing various art forms.

The individual 'chapters' of the series introduce a book published this autumn by Impex - Contemporary Art Provider, and thus serve as freely interpreted performative approaches to the themes addressed in the publication. The editors of the volume (Rita Kálmán and Katarina Sevic, members of Impex) have endeavoured to collect grassroots art initiatives that have been in place in Budapest (for varying lengths of time) in the past 20 years and to document these groupings by presenting their defining 'characteristics'. These are: informality - parallel structures - alternative models - self-organisation - centre/periphery - chaos/order - community - filling in the gaps - survival strategies... Until late September 2009, parallels, in collaboration with various alternative cultural formations, meet at a different venue each time.
