Date: 23.04.2019-24.05.2019
Opening show: 18.04.2019, 7-8:45pm
Kuchta took an active part in the formal renewal of textile art in the sixties in Hungary, which allowed the medium to outgrow its traditionally decorative reception, its recurrent use as a tool for artistic propaganda, and to become a channel of abstract artistic expression that silently opposed the socialist realistic style propagated and favoured by the Hungarian aesthetical ideologies.
Igor and Ivan Buharov: Spiritual Civil Disobedience
Date: 23.04.2019-24.05.2019
Opening show: 18.04.2019, 7-8:45pm
At their latest exhibition, the artist duo Igor and Ivan Buharov (Kornél Szilágyi and Nándor Hevesi) present their multimedia installation originally conceived in 2018 for the Steirischer Herbst in Graz, now adapted to the space of acb Attachment. Furnished with cinematic and installation elements, the environment can be considered a preliminary study for the duo’s new feature film currently in the making, evocative of the dreamlike, Surrealist-Dadaist narrative, imagery and aesthetic of the Buharov films.
A sort of psychedelic natural atmosphere comprises the thematic unity of films projected onto walls and inside cabinetry, lightboxes and ritual installations. In the fragmented, obscure narratives of the presented short films, turning towards nature and union with the plant world is achieved through the escape routes of psychoactive substances, sorcery or magic.
Katalin Ladik: Hommage à Ernő Király
Date: 23.04.2019-24.05.2019
Opening show: 18.04.2019, 7-8:45pm
The latest exhibition of Katalin Ladik commemorates Ernő Király on the centenary of his birth. Often referred to as the John Cage of Vojvodina, the ethnic Hungarian composer, ethnographer and folklorist of Serbia was one of the key figures of new musical endeavours emerging from the middle of the 20th century within the region. His praxis fused avant-garde music with the colourful folklore traditions of the Balkans.
The exhibition presents a selection of Katalin Ladik’s work inspired by Ernő Király’s art, as well as their co-authored works and documents of their collaboration.
