Cseke Szilárd: Áramló jelenlét
This retrospective exhibition, held across three galleries at the Műcsarnok and offering a glimpse into the diversity of his oeuvre, is a novelty, as these works have never before been displayed together. The abstract and figurative paintings, the bent steel sculptures, and the kinetic installations effectively represent Szilárd Cseke’s complex body of work. His paintings and spatial works currently on display represent ongoing changes; they can be interpreted as visual models or even decoded symbolically. Szilárd Cseke’s oeuvre demonstrates the versatility, creative drive, and genre-spanning breadth of a Renaissance man. His desire for freedom inspires him to express himself through ever-new artistic languages.
Schedule
Szilárd Cseke’s most significant international appearance took place in 2015 at the Hungarian Pavilion of the 56th Venice Biennale, with his exhibition titled “Sustainable Identities,” curated by Kinga German. László Barabási-Albert also shared his thoughts in the exhibition catalog, and his work has now been deliberately placed alongside Cseke’s at the Műcsarnok. Barabási-Albert writes: “As we ponder how to use the digital traces that line our lives, we must take into account that this debate is not only about our past, but—given our predictability—our future is at stake... and this is far more valuable than our past ever was.”
