“Summer kitchen” International Art Colony of Cered

Konzulens: Cecília Kun Foto: Ágota Krnács

The theme is the summer kitchens connected to a unique tradition in Cered, which are located in the houses of the inhabitants of Cered or separately around the houses. These smaller and larger rooms with a special atmosphere, are in many cases completely full with mixed equipment. These spaces have a kitchen function, but no longer match the summer kitchens prevalent in the 19th century, but they uniquely combine the long decades of a family’s life with the tradition of summer kitchens. There is an embroidered wall protector and many versions of it. Special is the wall rolled with painted and colored patterns, old family photos, television, and even the socialist design of the 60s and 70s. The special place offered for the artists’ colony, was the summer kitchen, which provided space for the installation. The site-specific installation reflects the space as an intimate receiving area. The huge pot, made of recycled traditional kitchen textiles as a central element, almost fills completely the space of the low-ceilinged summer kitchen. Threads stretched in space prevent the viewer from approaching, thus isolating from the inner “intimate”content . Meanwhile, the thread as an emotional connection weakly follows, connects, and causes the recipient to touch and interact. The inner contents in the pot are a closed, demarcated, separated secret. Preserving intimacy thus acts as a self-defense mechanism. The hidden self, the woman, the owner of the space, is inaccessible.

FLUID THOUGHTS

MIXED MEDIA INSTALLATION

“Our twenties”

The “Fluid thoughts” mixed media installation is a space installation built around the keyword- “mindfuck,” which includes a ceramic hand floating in a pink ether, a buried Iphone in the ground, an object reminiscent of a constantly flashing space station, or an airport runway, and a huge silver hashtag from aluminium. The work is located between fixed definitions, playing with the terminology of installation, environment, and assemblage,works as an installation because it is a mixed media work exhibited for a certain period of time, in which the recipient can walk in, so we move on to the environment, which is complemented by assembled objects. The elongated silver elements that divide and at the same time fill the space, the movement of lights and thus shadows, the more “complicated” passage in the given space, together influences the perceptual process and induce the player’s inclusion and interactive presence.

“We must search for new shelters and find new axioms from the chaos of the world. In the spirit of a fresh start, Artlocator is also renewed. At our year starting event, Artlocator presented Our Twenties entitled pop-up exhibition featuring space installations made for the occasion in the Four Rooms Gallery created by Anikó Süttő, Lili Labus, and Csenge Győrbíró. In connection with the event, we printed a limited edition special poster with several surprising details created by Csenge Katinka Szabó with various analogue techniques.”
