Private Gynaecological Surgery
This installation – comprising three gynaecological examination chairs covered with rabbit hair, moss, and red velvet – is one of those works of the artist that model the interrelationship of the self and its environment, including basic perception or socially determined roles.
Portable Cobblestone
The Cobblestone Is the Weapon of the Proletariat: this is the title of Russian artist Ivan Shadr’s 1927 sculpture, whose reproduction was widely known in the Eastern Bloc, and which was held as a textbook example of Socialist Realism and propaganda art in the 1950s.
Silhouette of the Statue of Liberty
Due to its original location, the Statue of Liberty can be considered as the ultimate landmark of the city of Budapest.
Game of Changes
The point of departure for Little Warsaw’s video is Gábor Bódy’s film The Third (1971); an “experimental documentary”’ film in which young intellectuals rehears Faust on a rooftop.
I am a Work of Art
Judit Kele first studied textile art, then set- and costume-design. In 1979 she decided to take a radical step and declared her own self to be a piece of art. She continued consistently along this path through the mid-1980s.
Don’t Be Afraid
The video Don’t Be Afraid is a reflection on the story of Penelope and Odysseus by way of a simplified presentation of the fictional episode.
