Unfinishing - Exhibition of Eszter Júlia Kuzma

“I'm not the goal, says the artwork, I'm just an event of self-awareness and self-recognition.” (András Visky: On Almost-God and Becoming Real)

To create an artwork is to combine our energies in objects — objects that have never existed before. The manifestation of creative energy always contains a subtle transcendence, which is why the exhibition space itself can be understood as a kind of sacred space. One of the important functions of art is to make us realise that we are not only spectators of our inner world, but that we belong to it — as well as to each other. Therefore, the art object can have a particularly important function in restoring communities.

The project Unfinishing focuses on dismantling the misconception that the artwork is just something to look at. Following András Visky's above thought, the artwork is there to make us realise that there is something to “do” with it, something to recognise and act. The work of art does not belong to the artist, neither to the exhibition space or the museum. It belongs to everyone.
