The oeuvre of Anikó Lóránt (1977-2020) is mostly preserved in more than forty sketchbooks and notebooks of varying sizes. They are usually closely related, diverse elaborations of themes and symbols, diary-like entries, short notes on readings and various series of drawings prepared for installations. Anikó worked on multiple projects at once focusing on sustainability, subsistence skills, the history of farming, foraging, slow living, and the inseparable bond between the human and non-human realms. Interlinked within a rich web of connections the drawings merge various media and sometimes include haiku-like poems, intertwine narrative threads, stories, references to her readings, everyday experiments, observations and discoveries.
Together with artists and core members of the Randomroutines group, Tamás Kaszás, Anikó Loránt’s partner in life and art, and Krisztián Kristóf , we have set out to survey and present Anikó's practice and focus on her less-known individual path and thinking and propose a reading from a broader art-historical perspective.
Anikó Loránt graduated from the Intermedia Department of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 2003. The basic framework of her creative work is the experience of motherhood, the rethinking of the human way of life, her investigations into issues of extended care and sustainability. She has expanded her program of non-growth, also at the individual level, to develop a possible small community toolkit for ecological crisis and related existence outside post-industrial society.
The exhibition is a collaboration between BHM Budapest Gallery and BHM Kiscelli Museum - Municipal Gallery.

With its exhibitions, the Budapest Gallery seeks to present contemporary Hungarian and foreign art to the wider public and familiarize international audiences with contemporary Hungarian art.
