INVERTED OBJECTS
In contemporary art, the last decade and a half has seen an increasing number of works made using traditional craft techniques exhibited. One of the reasons for this can be found in a critical reassessment of the hierarchy of art, traditional genre boundaries and artistic methods. This is also reinforced by the existing institutional separation, which can be seen in the functioning of the art, ethnographic and, to some extent, applied art collections. When visual artists turn to these techniques and methods, they are far from always seeking to dismantle the established canonical system, but rather to reinterpret existing concepts and practices and examine their usability today.
Schedule
The exhibition therefore presents objects created in the contexts of fine art, ethnography and craftsmanship in parallel, and offers these as a basis for discussion of the above questions. As an art museum, the starting points are always the works of art, around which the objects on loan from other museums are built.
Exhibiting artists (planned):
Ádám ALBERT, Róza EL-HASSAN, Sári EMBER, Balázs FEKETE, Rajkamal KAHLON, Belinda KAZEEM-KAMINSKI, Kristof KINTERA, Tamás KIRÁLY, Sabrina KOMÁR, Eva KOT'ÁTKOVÁ, Denisa LEHOCKÁ, Réka LŐRINCZ, Grayson PERRY, Péter PUKLUS, Randomroutines, Katarina SEVIC, Péter SZALAY
Curator: Katalin TIMÁR
Ludwig Museum
The Ludwig Museum - Museum of Contemporary Art, located in Müpa, is the first museum in Hungary to exclusively collect contemporary art. In addition to a permanent exhibition of the collection donated by the Ludwigs and a number of temporary exhibitions, the museum aims to raise awareness of the works and their creators through special publications and a variety of art education and art education programmes.
