Creation. The power of existence
What can Dürer, Rembrandt and, 500 years later, contemporary artists such as Attila Szűcs and Philip-Lorca diCorca have to say about one of the deepest questions of human existence: creation?
Schedule
The HAB's October exhibition explores this theme through a dialogue between Old Masters and contemporary artists. Budapest's new art centre is hosting a major exhibition that explores perhaps one of the most important questions of our time: what does it mean to create, how do we innovate in a challenging world? Can we learn from the old masters, what contemporary art shows us about creation from a personal, social and spiritual perspective?
The exhibition draws on the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, cutting-edge artists from Hungarian contemporary galleries, and a dialogue between international star artists represented by the David Zwirner Gallery. In the figurative works, the artists explore the question of the power of existence, sometimes quite overtly, sometimes covertly. In addition to current age issues, the material spans the ages, from Dürer to Rembrandt, and through the work of Attila Szűcs, the photography of Philip-Lorca DiCorca guides the viewer on a multi-faceted exploration of the dynamic mystery of existence.
