The Ludwig Museum - Museum of Contemporary Art and the U.S. Embassy in Budapest cordially invite you to the lecture by Rachel Lee Hovnanian visiting American artist.
Date: Tuesday, 20 September 2016, 2:30 p.m.
Venue: Ludwig Museum - Museum of Contemporary Art, Library (2nd floor)
Born in Parkersburg, West Virginia and raised in Houston, Texas, Rachel Lee Hovnanian is a New York-based artist whose multidisciplinary practice explores contemporary notions of narcissism, obsession and intimacy, and society’s alienating addiction to modern technological advances and media. She navigates the post-internet world, merging photography, video, sculpture, painting and installation art into surreal environments that challenge viewers to examine and reevaluate their own cultural values and relationship with digital technology.
Two of Hovnanian's works, namely Body Armor and White Narcissus are on display in the exhibition titled Art in Embassies opened last October at the U.S. Ambassador's residence in Budapest.
“Hovnanian has a gift for understanding the nuances of built environments and proves she is a wizard at balancing tones of playful humor with dark skepticism. Her works make a tilted comedy of the unsettling reality we’re already living in.”
