New Year! Yeah, one month is almost gone of the new year, but for me, the exhibition season has just started. Today I visited three new exhibitions and I'd like to share some photos taken at one of them. Just don't know which one to start with. I think it's best to start with the first one so here it is.
What you're going to see today is a collection of artworks from a Transylvanian art camp held in 2025. It is a great variety of works of all kinds, very different from what you're used to see, so let's get started.
This was what I saw when I stepped into the gallery and knew right away I'm going to have an interesting experience. My first impression was right.
Ferencz Zoltán - Sinus
This was a photo of an illuminated corrugated roof. It's an interesting concept, but it's not a work I'd hang on my wall.
Zsolt Asztalos - Lines
These came as a surprise, to not say shock. These were painted board pieces, tied together with a string, or with a tape. Some of the boards were painted. There was only the title, no specific explanation, so I moved on, but at the end, I had a word with the curator lady and found out that these two works symbolize how we, people are. We are all different, some are tall, others are short and the colors also mean how different we are.
Now the funny thing is, that if you think about it, it makes sense, but you would never be able to figure out the meaning on your own. The other interesting thing (I told the curator lady as well) is that if a well known artist creates such a work, it is called art. If I put this together, people would say I have lost my mind 😂 This is how the art world works.
Kata Ungvári-Zrinyi - 12 Angry People
Here I need to give you some explanation, to be able to understand what you see. yes, what you see and not what the artist meant, as I'm just guessing here.
The title says 12 Angry People, which, in a way makes reference to the old movie called 12 Angry Men, but here we have ladies as well, so I preferred to use the term people.
You see a set of 12 people on each side. On the left side it says Leftists, while (as you can guess) on the right side it says Rightists. Basically you see the same people, once turned to the left, and once turned to the right.
If you think deeper, that's how politics work, politicians are turning to where life is better for them, or to the side that offers better benefits for them. It's sad, but I suppose there's always the right price to buy someone's loyalty, beliefs or whatever needs to be bought to turn them.
It's a genius interpretation, for sure.
And this is when I'm banging my head against the wall. For the first time in 8 years, how long I am on Hive, this happens to me.
I always take two shots of everything, in case one is blurry, the second one is the backup. The next artwork, that was an amazing, extraordinary one, can't be posted, because both shots are blurry, most likely I moved my hand, which never happens. I mean 99.99999999999% of the time both shots are good. It's frustrating to say the least, but it is what it is. Maybe I'll go back and take another shot, or two, or maybe three, to be sure.
Sándor Szász - Time's Child
I'll let this for you, as a riddle, tell me what you understand from here.
Levente Horváth - Light is digging shadows
Another amazing work in my opinion and the title is perfect. Obviously the shadows change, depending on where the light is coming from. I love it. Out of the box thinking, but wait as you haven't see the toughest artwork yet.
József Tasnádi - Spraying is good
Here i can be ct with you and say, this was shocking. Do you know what the orange tank is? This is what farmers are using to spray plants with. My dad has one as well, his is yellow by the way 😜
The funny thing is, if you go to the exhibition without previous notice, you think this device was left there by accident. I was told by the curator, to watch out as that's an artwork itself 😲
This is it for today, I hope I could bring you something interesting and extraordinary. Let me know what you think.
