The STRABAG art collection highlights the boundaries of recognisability.
This year, Art Weekend Budapest (AWB), which will be held between 28 and 30 November, will showcase the power of contemporary art at 42 venues. A real highlight is that a corporate art collection will be featured in the central exhibition: a selection from the STRABAG ART collection and works by invited artists, Édouard Glissant focuses on the idea of „the right to opacity”.
The city is filled with art
The third edition of AWB, an event that is attracting increasing attention in the Hungarian contemporary art scene, will fill not only Budapest's galleries and exhibition spaces, but also its studios with life. The three-day, free programme series at the beginning of Advent invites everyone who wants to get closer to contemporary art to come on a journey of discovery.
Approximately forty venues await visitors, including sixteen new galleries and exhibition spaces, and for the first time this year, a venue in Pécs will also be featured in the programme. The aim of AWB is to make art a more direct, personal experience, which is why visitors will also be able to take a peek into the studios of the artists.
One of the special features of the event is that visitors can explore three or four exhibitions during themed art walks lasting one and a half to two hours, accompanied by short, personalised mini-tours. The walks are led by well-known public figures or artists who approach contemporary art from different angles, offering visitors a variety of perspectives.
Zones of opacity
In this exhibition, curator Krisztián Gábor Török explores the boundaries between visibility, concealment and recognisability. The works appear in blurred, fragmented and distorted forms, constantly shifting the viewer's attention: meaning flashes into view, then sinks back into obscurity.
What is visible and what remains hidden? Discover it at the exhibition and learn how the pieces of the exhibition are connected to each other.
All interested parties are cordially invited to attend the opening on 27 November at 7 p.m. in room Brody House (1088 Budapest, Bródy Sándor utca 10.).
