”The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday – but never jam to-day.” Lewis Carroll

Katalin Haász and Gabor Gyorfi, despite their obvious differing artistic expressions, share a similar core background rooted in their long-standing friendship and almost identical education path. They attended the same classes or groups at three different art schools: they joined the same drawing course at the age of 12, they attended the same class in an Arts College (Secondary) and the same year group at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts.

Their graduation exams and the so called “regime change” — the birth of the short-lived Hungarian democracy — happened on the same day, 16th of June, 1989. This newfound freedom and sense of possibility fostered a period of experimentation within the art university undergoing its own transformation. Their teacher, Dóra Maurer, further encouraged them to explore their ideas across various mediums.

This excitement and hope of being on the cusp of a new era were accompanied by the contrasting experience that everything and anything — including artistic expression — was increasingly becoming a commodity. With the perspective of the last 35 years, it is evident that the "JAM TOMORROW" mentality — promising delayed gratification — continues to hold influence despite many recognising it as an illusion. This mindset is not just part of political propaganda but deeply rooted in human nature, more akin to a natural force, such as gravity.

Katalin Haász lives in Budapest and her artistic focus delves into the metaphorical perception and depiction of space-time relationships, along with the abstract representation of determinism.

Gabor Gyorfi currently resides in London, where his art uses thought-provoking political quotes juxtaposed with illustrations. These capture the melancholic resignation of the average person burdened by the consequences of a chaotic, almost surrealistic world around.
