As the activities of the KÉSZ Group become increasingly international, the art programme and the collection can be positioned in an increasingly international manner. This was exemplified by their latest exhibition in the spring of 2024 at the Liszt Institute in Helsinki, which was preceded by the participation of several Scandinavian artists in the 2023 summer creative camp.

At the core of the collection lies organic abstraction from the 1950s onward. The exhibition at Tér-Kép Gallery presents individual positions from this field, highlighting the diversity of this artistic language.

In aesthetic terms, his main message was to value the different branches of creative art equally. Amidst the dominance of painting in Hungary, this was a bold stand in favour of other forms of object creation.

In this interview by Márk Rékai, Karol Radziszewski and Gyula Muskovics reflect on the exhibition titled Sinners, their research process and the upcoming Budapest issue of DIK Fagazine, which is closely connected to the exhibition and will launch on November 28 at the Trafó House of Contemporary Arts.

We didn’t create an auditorium in a traditional sense, and this allowed the space to turn into an open, fluid ritual, where anyone could enter or leave at any time. This approach allows participation to be based on active consensus – not coercion, but choice. The viewer’s freedom to decide from which position to watch or “do” cannot be controlled by the curator or the performer.

The common denominator of the Collection’s segments is art patronage. International specialist Kinga Petro and composer, music director Philippe de Chalendar do not merely collect artworks; they collaborate with artists, support their international mobility, and foster the creation of new pieces. Their role as patrons is rewarded through the Collection itself.

A jumble of too many ideas on one sheet is also thrown away — it lacks clarity. And sheets that know too much are thrown away. Good drawings are plain, simple, and reduced to the essentials; they have breadth.

The organizing motive of Interthinking is not critical reflection, but homage: paying tribute to Hungarian artist giants who used pioneering technological solutions in the last century, and demonstrating their impact through works that use contemporary generative tools and artificial intelligence.

These ethereal compositions offer profound insights into the cosmic tapestry, guiding viewers on a transcendent odyssey from the earthly realm to alien-inhabited spheres. At the heart of Keresztesi’s narrative lies the seamless integration of contemporary motifs with echoes of art history.

„To avoid everything happening at once in an all-encompassing, divine blend of dark, immaterial mud and half- or non-sensible, primal chaos over which fleeting, elusive spirits float, I have to fracture and light up a safety match —called lucifer in Dutch— and do one thing at a time!” – Robert Roest

Batykó carefully calibrates the extent to which he unleashes his painterly toolkit, level and mode of articulation. In the following interview, we discussed this exact vein of visual engineering. We touched upon the artist’s latest exhibitions, current preoccupations and how the last one-and-a-half decade has informed his cutting-edge experiments.

In these monumental, museum-scale compositions, Ákos Ezer switches into berserk mode. The “director’s cut” provides additional side narratives, extras, and goodies. It is rewarding to invest the extra “leg work” into exploring these two- or three-piece mega constructions.
