Lázár Gábor: Fundamental Fields (HHK)
2024. november. 8. – december. 6
Schedule
Lázár Gábor's Fundamental Fields (HHK), a three-channel audiovisual installation, connects with Hopp-Halász Károly’s exhibition at the acb Plus gallery by translating the artist’s clear and playful visual language from his neo-geo series of the 1980s and 90s into Lázár’s own generative musical and visual style. Designed for three large screens and audio sources, the installation is built on a limited set of visual elements characteristic of Hopp-Halász’s paintings, while the audio and visual content synchronize in real time through a custom software developed specifically for this piece. With this work, Lázár not only pays tribute to one of the most significant figures in Hungarian neo-avant-garde painting, but also extends his own musical compositional logic toward a more comprehensive media art practice.
acb Gallery
Founded in Budapest in 2003, acb Gallery has consistently grown in the past two decades establishing itself as one of the leading actors in the Hungarian and Eastern European art market. Initially, the gallery’s focus was on Hungarian and international emerging and mid-generation neo-conceptual artists, who became active after the political changes in the former Eastern Bloc in 1990. Since then, the gallery has expanded its focus, and now represents numerous Hungarian neo-avant-garde artists who have left their mark on art history since the 1960s and 1970s, as well as members of the youngest generations beside the already established ones.
Since the autumn of 2022, acb runs three exhibition spaces: the main gallery space, acb Attachment, which serves as a project space, and acb Plus, dedicated to large-scale solo and group presentations.
acb’s research and publishing department, acb ResearchLab was founded in 2015. This platform within the gallery aims to fill the gaps in the reception and publication of Hungarian neo-avant-garde and post-avant-garde oeuvres by studying bodies of works and art phenomena previously treated as peripheral.
The gallery holds significant importance within the global art market, actively promoting its artists nationally as well as internationally and engaging in art fairs, such as the Art Basel in Basel and Art Basel Miami Beach, the Frieze Masters London or the ARCO Madrid.
