Sugár first presented œuvre in 1986 at > the Studio Gallery in Budapest, at an institution financially supported by > the socialist state, but which brought together young artists. Sugár, at that > time, worked outside such state-supported structures; however, when he was > offered a solo show at the Studio Gallery, he took this opportunity to > deliberately create something that is incompatible with the (then) present’s > interpretive framework. That is, he wanted to create a piece in 1986, in and > about the present, which, from the future, looks already past: an already > existing evidence. That is why the young Sugár chose œuvre—as in > retrospectively from the future—as the title of his exhibition. > > To test the dimensions of past-present-future, as well as the current and > changing context of the art work, Sugár decided already in 1986 that he would > exhibit œuvre every ten years. In 1996 and 2006, the exhibition took place at > the Studio Gallery, this time, in its most complete reconstruction, it will > be on view at tranzit. hu until March 18, in conjunction with the launch of > the 2016 book on the artist’s public art practice. > > See more <http://nl6.sitepackage.de/link/2503_tranzit.org/5b432722f9166c89> > > 23/03/–21/05/2017 > Imagining Conceptual Art > Lászlo Beke 1971 Collection in an International Context > tranzit. hu presents at tranzitdisplay in Prague László Beke’s project > Imagination, the first collection of Hungarian Conceptual Art, compiled in > 1971. > > The exhibition at tranzitdisplay looks at Beke’s collection in an > international context, through other projects that also happened in the year > 1971, as well as through the history of exhibitions of Conceptual art. The > other legendary 1971 art projects on display—similarly to Imagination—can be > interpreted as “exhibitions in a publication format.” One of them is the book > Aktuelle Kunst in Osteuropa, published at Dumont Aktuell by artist and > collector Klaus Groh, presenting East European artists of the time. The other > exhibition projects highlighted are At the Moment (Zagreb) and At Another > Moment (Belgrade) where the curators, Nena and Braco Dimitrijević, > experimented with the format of the exhibition in space and time. The two > exhibitions showcased works by artists from Yugoslavia and international > representatives of Conceptual art. The Belgrade exhibition was also > accompanied by a catalog, which will also be on view. > > Another aim of Imagining Conceptual Art is to survey László Beke’s > international art network unfolding from the 1970s. The exhibition also > gathers information about the internationality of the art world of the time > centered around less object oriented and increasingly dematerialized > practices, which we now call, in a broad sense, Conceptual art. > > A possible map of the reception of Conceptual art with a focus on > geopolitical and cultural relations will also be created for the > exhibition.The timeline of the map starts from projects of the time, such as > Beke’s collection or artist Dóra Maurer’s activity supporting the > international presence of Hungarian artists, and runs until today’s projects > that revisit the period of the 1960s and 1970s.
