an exhibition

This Friday, I wish you, my kind readers were all here to celebrate the opening of an interesting exhibition.
-
The story in short:
Some young fine artists living in the town created drawings, photos and paintings. They let us, members of the writers' group see copies of their work months before the exhibition.
Any member who found inspiration in any of the works was free to write anything using the artwork as a prompt. There was only one restriction: the writing should be readable while standing next beside the original artwork in the exhibition room, that is, no writing should be long.
-
I wrote two poems and one short prose for three of these artworks and there will be two exhibited. One of the poems will not be placed there because the artwork itself will not be displayed for reasons beyond my understanding.
-
First of all, I love that this project inspired me to write three pieces. I find it so difficult to get anything written these days, I am not urging or pressing it, I miss writing, that is :( So having written these two poems and a short prose was quite fulfilling.
-
The exhibition starts this Friday and will be available for anyone interested for a month at the local library's exhibition and mess hall for free.
-
So should by any chance any of you come to Hungary, please contact me and I will guide you through the exhibition. :)
And I would love to share my writings here, but they are not translated yet :(
Here's a link to the artwork, I don't think it will work, but let's try it for once.

And here's the invitation:
