\u2013 vario \u2013<\/b><\/h1>\n

April 26 – May 9, 2015<\/h2>\n

Organisers: Csaba Szentesi<\/text>, P\u00e9ter Szab\u00f3<\/text><\/p>\n

The studio is a space that we do not have access to in everyday life. It is a domain subordinated to unfinished thoughts and the freedom to fail. As an enclosed entity, it preserves traces of creative energies that often remain in the background, operating invisibly, yet are essential for survival within competition-based structures.<\/p>\n

We transform the multi-room apartment overlooking Sz\u00e9ll K\u00e1lm\u00e1n Square, used as a studio, into a series of installations. The objects and furniture left behind by previous generations within the apartment connect with the materials of studio work in a complex and often hard-to-interpret anthropological configuration. The emphasis is on the \u201ccomponents\u201d: the remnants, the materials not yet incorporated, the traces of creation.<\/p>\n

This collaborative work is the interaction of two people, and we document the process. The documentation presenting possible alternatives of the resulting state is integrated into the installation. Within the space, we place a combination of furniture, objects, videos, smoke, and light sources. As part of the series of events, we present improvisational musical performances and visual experiments conducted outside the traditional artistic context.<\/p>\n

\u2013vario\u2013<\/em> presents the situation of \u201cthis is who we are, this is how we live now,\u201d displaying the constantly changing state we generate: it makes personal space public, shifts its autonomy, and reframes its narrative in order to reach a multilayered, open, and reflective condition.<\/p>\n

Venue: Studio at the Sz\u00e9ll K\u00e1lm\u00e1n Square (1012 V\u00e9rmez\u0151 \u00fat 6. II\/1.)<\/p>\n
