Utas és Holdvilág
Ludwig Museum Budapest -Museum of Contemporary Art
February, 2002
Curator: Dóra Hegyi

The exhibition „Utas és Holdvilág” („Traveller and Moonlight” - Title of a book by Hungarian writer Antal Szerb, has more an associative connection with the concept) was realized in cooperation with the participating artists, using the special architecture of the entrance hall at the Ludwig Museum Budapest - Museum of Contemporary Art. This space is using neoclassical elements, reminding on the arcades of de Chiricos paintings, altough built in the early 1970s. The idea was that the exhibited works got in connection with the space, so that the architecure becomes part of the show. The other aspect of selection was to collect works which show a new way of using the human figure. The works have in common that the created human figures are part of a not visible mental architecture. They are not representing or modelling nature, but following the rules of different spiritual spaces.
