PHOTOEXHIBITION
CATALOG - MADE BY: VARGA SZABOLCS LAJOS
THIS EXHIBITION IS A GROUP PROJECT THAT ONE OF MY MATES, MARTHA KICSINY, AND I CURATED IN THE 2B GALLERY. THE EXHIBITION IS CO-ORGANIZED BY THE HUNGARIAN UNIVERSITY OF FINE ARTS, REVESZ LASZLO’S DEPARTMENT. WITH MARTHA, WE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE CLASS AND WE DECIDED THAT WE WANT TO MAKE AN UNUSUAL EVENT. FROM YEAR TO YEAR, USUALLY THE DEPARTMENTS IN THE
UNIVERSITY ORGANIZE AN EXHIBITION AND PRESENT INDIVIDUAL ARTWORKS FROM EACH PERSON. THIS IS THE PICTURE FESTIVAL SYNDROME. WE WANT TO MAKE A CURRENT CONCEPT WHAT IS TOTALLY FLEXIBLE TO OUR EXHIBITORS. IN THE VERY BEGINNING WE FOUND OUT WE CAN AVOID THIS SYNDROME IF WE CHANGE GENRE, SO WE AGREED ON A COMMON MEDIUM: PHOTOGRAPHY.

WE ORGANIZED THE GROUP OF EXHIBITORS, TALKED WITH OUR DEPARTMENT MASTER, AND STARTED TO WRITE THE CONCEPTION OF THE EXHIBITION TOGETHER. There are _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ young artists, who are the students of the Hungarian Fine Art University’s Painting Course and members of Révész László László’s class. Together they have created an experimental photography project titled _ _ _ _ _. With a digital/post-intermedia starting point, the participants rethink their photographs in connection with the relationship between the exhibition space and the art work. The aim of the project is to use the artists’ experience in painting to create an exhibition situation that primarily explores the opportunities within intermedia photo installations. The central theme organically developed as the selected photographs were collected. They mainly depict empty spaces, lacking in narratives, rather focusing on forms and composition. The recorded places are void of people, only the tools and traces left behind can be witnessed. The strong, geometric compositions create systems, which then become broken by the objects that appear in these barren spaces, forming non-nar-
rative, abstract situations. These images typically keep an objective distance between the viewer and the viewed: we are only momentarily witnesses of these scenes. Destroyed, decaying or altered manufactured objects can be seen in natural or partially controlled natural environments. The entire series is signified by the silence that is present between the observer and the observed. This silence is also expressed in the exhibition’s title: five absence-characters, which reflect the subjects above more precisely than any letter, word or expression. MARTHA FOUND A HOME FOR OUR PROJECT, AND SHE KEPT A CONNECTION BETWEEN US AND 2B GALLERY. SHE USED A CATALOG, WHICH I DESIGNED FOR THIS OCCASION. I ALSO DESIGNED THREE VERSIONS OF POSTERS FOR THE EXHIBITION.

HOME-PROJECT, RUN BY: ZSÓFIA ANTALKA, VARGA SZABOLCS LAJOS
THERE
WAS FORBIDDEN. THE COMMUNIST IS HUGE REGIME REFUSED EVERYTHING THAT AND WENT AGAINST THEIR IDEALS AND UNCLEAR HISTORY OF FLAT CULTURE CONNECTED TO WESTERN CULTURE. IN HUNGARY, ESPECIALLY BUDAPEST. NOWADAYS, THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WHEN THE GOVERNMENT IS OVER DIFFERENCES COMPARED TO BEFORE. CONTROLLING AND PUSHING DOWN INDEED THE GOVERNMENT IS TRYCULTURAL LEVELS, THE PEOPLE WHO ING TO DO SOMETHING(?) AGAINST HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CITIZENS WHO ARE THINKING IN ANFELLOWS AND HABITAT USE THEIR OTHER WAY, BUT A REBELLIOUS ATTIFLATS AS A CULTURAL SPACE. TUDE IS ONLY A LITTLE PART OF OUR IN THE 70’S AND 80’S, IT WAS A QUITE MOTIVATION. WE THINK THAT BUDAPOPULAR MENTALITY. PEOPLE WHO PEST IS A GREAT CITY WITH GREAT HAD ENOUGH COURAGE ORGANIOPPORTUNITY; HOWEVER MANY ZED EXHIBITIONS IN THEIR PLACES IDEAS, TALENT AND INITIATIONS ARE AND SUPPORTED CONTEMPORARY DISAPPEARING BECAUSE THERE IS NO ARTISTS. IN THAT AGE, ANYTHING SUPPORTING ENVIRONMENT. NOT INCLUDED IN THE T.T.T. SYSTEM
THIS WAS OUR FIRST PARTY.

OUR
MAIN GOAL IS WORKING WITH EMERGING ARTISTS, MUSICIANS FIRST OF ALL, AND KEEPING A SPACE ALIVE FOR THEM AND FOR US. THE MOST OBVIOUS SPACE TO USE FOR MY MATE AND I IS OUR HOME. WE ARE LIVING IN A BIG FLAT, WITH ENOUGH ROOM FOR FOUR OF US. I AM LIVING WITH THREE OF MY FRIENDS AND WE ARE DOING THIS AS A MISSION TOGETHER. ZSOFI AND I FIGURE OUT THE MAIN CONTENT, GETTING EVERYTHING TOGETHER
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING TILL THE END. IT IS A LONG-TERM-PROJECT. WE WANT TO IMPROVE OURSELVES IN VARIOUS WORK FIELDS, AND TRY OUT WHAT WE CAN. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR AUDIENCE WANTS, YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT. SO IN THE BEGINNING WE STARTED TO MAKE FLAT PARTIES.
SILENT DISCO NIGHT.

WE
WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE AND ACCLIMATIZE PARTY GENRES AS WELL, AND WE WANT TO SHOW ANOTHER WAY OF PARTYING. GOING TO CLUBS AND DISCOS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY. PARTIES ARE THE FIRST CULTURALIZATION POINT FOR YOUTH, THAT IS WHERE THEY CHANGE AND GET NEW INFORMATION OR
IMPRESSIONS. THE PLACE WHERE THEY CAN GRATIFY FEELINGS AND NUMBER ONE EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCES. MUSIC IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ART NOW. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MAINSTREAM MUSIC OR HIGH CULTURAL MUSIC. IT IS A FACT.
