Mobile Balance<\/h1>\n

May 23 \u2013 June 5, 2015<\/h2>\n

The theme of measurement, weighing, and balance has long played an important role in the work of Szigeti G. Csongor. This is evident whether we look at the photographs of the spontaneous action created in early 2011 in India (Partapur, Rajasthan) during the Sandarbh Residency (Human Balance<\/em>), where he assigned a new function to a scale used in an apiary by involving passersby; or at his nearly eight-meter-high kinetic object Fractal Wind<\/em> (2012), created at the invitation of the Daejeon Museum of Art in South Korea, in which elements of identical weight to the gram enable rotational movement. The structure created there can be traced back to the installation titled 1.7 Tons of Wood in Balance<\/em> (B\u00f3dvaszilas, Magt\u00e1r, 2011), composed of 1.7 tons of wood assembled in a fractal-like manner. Prior to this, at the exhibition Szoci\u00e1l Baz\u00e1r<\/em> (St\u00fadi\u00f3 Gal\u00e9ria, 2011), he wrapped artworks in airport plastic film until they lost their recognizable form, then displayed them on a market scale, leaving it to visitors to guess the price per kilogram. Is art truly measurable? And is the artist? The viewer? Within what kind of system does all this take place? With the exhibition in Miskolc, Szigeti G. Csongor offers another alternative, in which the artwork itself becomes a measuring device, thereby casting the problem of measurement in a new light. His project, realized in a single-piece gallery space, attempts to symbolically establish a balance between artist and audience.<\/p>\n
