The Ex Co exhibition was the result of a year-long series of discussions which we organized under the name Experimental Community. We all studied art, art theory, curating, or design, and in our practice, we worked for, with, or as a community. We aimed to try out various concepts of communities. During the exhibition, we rented out one of the rooms of the gallery in Couch Surfing. We got a lot of requests, but finally, just an artist wanted to stay there. We made interviews with renewed questions of The Provisional International Moscow Bureau of Creative Artists from 1920. We organized a tour for expats where we visited all the commemorations held by political parties on the national holiday of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
