The aspects of the Roma life in the contemporary fine arts

Artists | Matei Bejenaru [RO] | Michaela Bruckmüller [A] | Pavlína Fichta Čierna [SK] | Cosmin Gradinaru [RO] | Iosif Király | Mariana Celac | Marius Marcu-Lapadat [RO] | Monika Kovacova [SK] | Aydan Murtezaoglu [TR] | Terez Orsos [H] | Nihad Nino Pusija [D | BiH] | Gyöngyi Raczne Kalanyos [H] | Mario Rizzi [I] | Erzen Shkololli [KOS] | Mladen Stilinovic [HR] | Chad Evans Wyatt [USA | CZ] | Dušan Zahoranský [SK]

Jury | Margarethe Makovec | Anton Lederer [ Graz]

Romas and non-Romas generally have a very different attitude to life and these differing world views again and again evoke a variety of responses which – especially in the case of the non-Roma population [“gadze” in the Romani language] – range from fear to admiration. The exhibition titled We Are What We Are confronts the outside and inside viewpoints through the works of Roma and non-Roma artists and redefines Roma[-related] art, not through the ethnological approach widely applied in Hungary but by using the most up-to-date means of contemporary art and forms of media expression. The works of contemporary art displayed at the exhibition try to open a new path towards the Roma people, questioning the opinions and prejudices prevailing in the different countries. The latter are examined in the case studies and research contained in the second volume of the catalogue.

Co-organized with 2B Gallery and Rotor Gallery Graz.
The exhibition will be open until 4th November 2006.

Zsolt Gáspár Asztalos > opening ceremony

2006.10.06 18:00

Dorottya Gallery of Ernst Museum

Mirror-portraits
Your past - my present

Th exhibition will be open until 4th November 2006.

This exhibition of works by the young artist Zsolt Asztalos offers a possible alternative to portraiture. He uses not brush and canvas but a series of photo-based installations incorporating anonymous photographs found in piles of junk on the streets. The central piece in the exhibition is an enormous, dark mirror surface on which the full-length figures of seven people can just be made out. Identification with the unknown faces and their fates as the strangers blend into our own mirror images shows that our own existence cannot be made independent from the lives of others. The exhibition is in line with the latest art trends, seeking identity and adopting a personal tone.

*The exhibition will be on view through 7th and 8th October 2006, open every day from 10 a.m. to 6p.m.

The curators of the Fresh Europe initiative invited recent graduates from four foreign arts academies as well as from Hungary to the KOGART House in Andrássy út. The theme of the exhibition is the phenomenon and psychology of mania, a particularly intense state of passion. The exhibition gives a look at the strategies pursued by the youngest artists in the area of creative mania, the passion of consumption or of individual obsessions. Features of the exhibition are the ease with which genre boundaries are crossed, the flexibility of the visual language, the bold and forward-pointing continuation of art historical traditions. In short, this is a “passionate” international encounter which will undoubtedly benefit from the fact that it is not being held in an academic environment but in one of the major exhibition places of the private sector in Hungary.

In 1966 the Young Artists’ Studio decided to exhibit works produced in the studios of young artists without submitting them to a state jury. This unprecedented event, held in the Ernst Museum, caused a great stir in the contemporary arts world long before the well known Iparterv exhibitions. Besides the room devoted to socialist realism, the exhibition had a surrealist, a pop art and an abstract room, leading to a great debate in the newspapers of the time and in art circles. An attempt was made to repeat the jury-free exhibition in the following year, but the jury of the Fine and Applied Arts Department ruled out many of the works in the exhibition that had already been arranged. This was followed by organisational disintegration, police proceedings, political and ideological battles, but the two exhibitions irrevocably opened the way to freedom for art. The exhibition opening during the Autumn Festival attempts to reconstruct the 1996 show with the works that can still be located, together with those that were rejected in 1967. The result is a collection of works that have never been seen together before.
