Collective exhibition


In an era dominated – in art, as elsewhere – by the omnipresent issue of
profitability, this exhibition offers a partial survey of artistic
approaches challenging the social role of money, from the early 20th century
up until the present. This has been a great chance to bring together works
by Manet, Yves Klein, Andy Warhol, Ernest T., Claire Fontaine, Société
Réaliste and others. In the context of a rampant capitalism for which the
power of the market is all, art is no longer just a sound investment or an
aesthetic refuge. Now thoroughly – and symptomatically – integrated into the
capitalist system, it can provide a better, faster return on investment than
some top shares. In such a setting it is logical to give a hearing to
artists, individually or in groups, whose work falls within the shadow of
stock-market fluctuations. The exhibition L'Argent ("Money") comprises three
complementary sections. It begins with a wall of photocopies of works of art
addressing the money issue. In turn the public can take possession of the
reproductions and touch works of art that very few institutions can afford
to borrow. The exhibition then lingers over the period 1970–80, during which
artists decided to infiltrate the institutional network and denounce the
underhanded transactions that had become an everyday feature of the scene.
In a third and final part, Le Plateau is given over to site-specific works
focusing right now, in 2008, on the unique, universal touchstone that is
money.

Collective exhibition


*Na mi van?* (*What's Up?*) - *Contemporary Hungarian Art* is the conceptual
umbrella under which several contemporary Hungarian art exhibitions and
projects taking place in Budapest between July 21st – August 31st 2008 are
gathered together in the organization of Műcsarnok / Kunsthalle Budapest.
The nucleus of the structure is given by the large format exhibition with
the same title, presented in Műcsarnok / Kunsthalle, which aims to set forth
what is topical, novel and noteworthy in contemporary Hungarian art. The
pursuit of latest developments of the local art scene as well as new framing
perspectives are among its working methods. About twenty artists are asked
to reflect on what concerns them nowadays and make that visible in the
installation of their works.


*With works by:* András Braun, László Csáki, Gábor Erdélyi, Kis Varsó, Gábor
Arion Kudász, Ilona Lovas, Kamilla Szíj, Imre Bukta, Szabolcs Kiss Pál, SZAF

Collective exhibition


The exhibition *Be a Happy Worker: Work-to-Rule!* considers different
perspectives and concepts of work and labour, the 'slowing down' of work,
touching upon the quality of work and life in the former and present working
conditions, the global division of labour and creative reflections on
industrial and postindustrial labour. On the other hand, the exhibition
touches upon the nostalgia for the time of belief in industrial
modernization, in the light of destinies of workers after the
transformations and dissolving of the factories in East Europe.


*With works by*: Mircea Cantor, Maja Cipek, Miklos Erhardt &
Reinigungsgesellschaft, Igor Grubic, Sanja Ivekovic, Helmut & Johanna Kandl,
Pavel Mrkus, Deimantas Narkevicius, Marion von Osten, Marija Mojca
Pungercar, Societe Realiste, Mladen Stilinovic.

* Curated by*: Ivana Bago and Antonia Majaca.


from Thursday 26 JUN to Sunday 20 JUL.
