Prof. György, a graduate in Literature, History and Art Theory earned his PhD in the History of Hungarian Avantgarde. His first monography, co-authored by Gábor Pataki, was written about late 1940’s Hungarian Avantgarde Art, later he wrote more about contemporary American, European and Hungarian Modernism. After 1989 he was a founding member of Media Studies at ELTE, lectured in the New School for Social Research, New York and has been extensively contributing at conferences and for scholarly journals in Hungarian and in English ever since.
His Distinguished University Professorship came after his book on the philosophical issues involved in museum theory, prior to which he had already widely researched this area in essays and books. (The English edition of this book came out in 2008, Russian and Slovakian forthcoming.)
He is the Head of the Film, Media and Cultural Studies Graduate Program at ELTE and is now involved in the establishment of a Curatorial Studies and a New Media Master program with the Hungarian University of Fine Arts and the  University of Drama, Film and Television, Budapest respectively.
