Exhibitions

Nedko Solakov’s humorous, site-specific installation is located in the museum’s lobby, next to the cloakroom. In this work, Solakov explores the idea of an artist who seeks to view the world from a radically different perspective—literally by turning himself upside down to shift his viewpoint.

The present exhibition features the project shown in Venice completed with a selection of works realised by the artist in the last decade, that can be considered as prefigurations, in their topics and technical formulations, of the works hosted this year by the Hungarian Pavilion at the Biennale.

The first section of the two-part exhibition focuses on women’s roles and women’s (self-)representation in art, while the second section presents the genres and themes chosen by women, as well as their artistic achievements and accomplishments over the past half century, through their works in the museum.

Time machine is a device that only exists in theory so far, with the help of which we can fly our physical body into the past or the future. The new exhibition at the Ludwig Museum is not about the science-fiction possibility of time travel, but examines the relationship between time and art from different perspectives, and sees the works themselves as time machines that allow us to travel mentally.
