  • Orshi Drozdik
    Press release ORSHI DRODZIK It’s All Over Now Baby Blue Opening Wednesday October 2th from 18.00 to 20.00 in presence of the artist Exhibition October 2 - November 27,2013 The Gandy gallery is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition by Orshi Drodzik at the gallery in Bratislava. The work of Orshi Drozdik (b,1946,Hungary) has played a significant role in the history of women’s art across the international arts scene and has greatly influenced a generation of artists to follow. Drozdik moved to Amsterdam in 1978, after graduating from the College of Fine Arts, in 1977 as a graphics major, and two years later she based herself in New York City. At present Drozdik works both in New York and Budapest, and is a professor at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts. She has exhibited at many of the foremost galleries across Hungary and abroad, and articles assessing her shows have been published in numerous prestigious art journals. Yet, Drozdik has continually engaged with the contemporary art scene in Hungary. The 1998 exhibition, article, and textbook titled Strolling Brains, for instance, greatly contributed to the spread of feminism in the country. Drozdik began her career in tandem with the Hungarian post-conceptual movement of the 1970s. As a harbinger she created her own theoretical and critical point of view, which was unique in the seventies cultural environment of Budapest. In the 80s, at the time of her emigration, building upon of her 70s working methode, she embraced poststructuralist critical discourse, that helped her to develop, the installation series, Adventure in Technos Dystopium, a theoretical and visual deconstruction of scientific representation.

  • Friends, 2020 Catalog
    FRIENDS, 2020 KATARZYNA KOZYRA FOUNDATION SUPPORT PROGRAM the present times are challenging for everybody. Even more so for women. The spread of the coronavirus and the worldwide economic crisis will make our work more difficult still. But we don’t give up. We will continue to fight in defence of the freedom of thought and gender equality. The Katarzyna Kozyra Foundation, as you know, has been created to support the work of female artists. Its many initiatives included, for example, a series of exhibitions of Women Commentators – a project which gave voice to young Russian and Ukrainian artists who live in countries where freedom of expression is not always allowed. One of the most recent investigations that the Foundation carried out, Little Chance to Advance, has revealed the huge underrepresentation of female teachers in Polish Art Academies. The Foundation is also currently working on numerous projects, which include an exhibition of Urszula Broll, a recently deceased artist who unfortunately did not live to see sufficient recognition for the important work of her life, as well as an archive of statements and works by female artists from the Visegrad Group. The recent cuts in the financing of NGO’s providing social and cultural support for women, make the raison d’ être of the Katarzyna Kozyra Foundation even more justified. It is why I ask you to join the group of the Foundation’s Friends and support us with a financial contribution so as to help the Foundation implement its program in support for women artists, consisting of research projects, exhibitions, book publications, seminars… I do not ask you for this commitment in exchange for nothing.

Desire is one of our most powerful driving forces. Our way of seeing and our art are formed by that and reflect on our desire” – said Orshi Drozdik in a recent interview concern- ing the topic of female identity and the use of her own body as a model and subject matter. Inevitably, she was the first Hungarian artist, who researched and introduced the female aspect in her work, and who intended to summarize the already existing but fragmented endeavours in this field, and who even edited a book (Walking Brains) with writings by leading authors of feminist theory. She always regarded her artistic program as a mission, which is rooted in her Hungarian experience but obviously became more conscious and sophisticated by the knowledge she gained while living abroad. This is the first time that we can follow Orshi Drozdik’s professional career, which began in the seventies with performances, photo series, graphic works, and continued with powerful figural paintings and installations. Even at this early stage, her obsession with the human body was evident. Later, while living in Amsterdam and New York, she began an investigation of such diverse subjects as the utopists of the French Enlightenment, the history of medicine, and the botanical taxonomic system of Carolus Linnaeus.

  • Moving Images in Romanian Critical Art Practice and Recent History
    MOVING IMAGES IN ROMANIAN CRITICAL ART PRACTICE AND RECENT HISTORY Mihaela Brebenel Goldsmiths, University of London PhD Media and Communications, 2016 .1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. .2 Acknowledgements It is perhaps commonplace to say that a doctoral research is a journey. Nevertheless, I have only come to understand that this research project has been both a personal journey and an academic one in the final stages of writing, when paradoxically, there was little time for reflection. The time that unfolded between the moment when I was writing a tentative research proposal and the moment I am now in has been intense, incredible, invaluable and rewarding. I am convinced that I would have not experienced either of these without the support, attentive consideration and incredibly fruitful conversations with my supervisor, Dr. Pasi Väliaho. I started this journey under the auspices of his encouragements and could not have carried through without his relentless belief in my academic abilities. I would also like to acknowledge the support and inspiring encounters with Dr. Rachel Moore, always surprising and always refreshing. In different stages of this research, she has acted as a mentor and reader of my work, at the same time showing an empowering collegial attentiveness to my ideas. An extended thank you goes to Prof. Sean Cubitt and Prof. Julian Henriques, for their general support within the Media and Communications department, their suggestions made for various versions of the text and their encouragement to experiment across-disciplines and with methods. This research would not have been possible without the funding received from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the research exhibition in New Delhi, India would not have happened without the AHRC International Placement Scheme and Fellowship at Sarai CSDS.

    GENDERED ARTISTIC POSITIONS AND SOCIAL VOICES: POLITICS, CINEMA, AND THE VISUAL ARTS IN STATE-SOCIALIST AND POST-SOCIALIST HUNGARY by Beáta Hock Submitted to the Department of Gender Studies, Central European University, Budapest In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Professor Susan Zimmermann CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2009 CEU eTD Collection DECLARATION I hereby declare that no parts of this thesis have been submitted towards a degree at any other institution other than CEU, nor, to my knowledge, does the thesis contain unreferenced material or ideas from other authors. Beáta Hock CEU eTD Collection CEU eTD Collection ABSTRACT The aim of this dissertation has been to explore what factors shaped artistic representations of women and the artistic agendas and self-positioning of individual women cultural producers in Hungary’s state-socialist and post-socialist periods. In using gender as an analytical category within the framework of a carefully conceptualized East/West comparison as well as a state- socialist/post-socialist comparison, the thesis historicizes and contextualizes gender in multidimensional ways. Positing that particular state formations and the dominant ideologies therein interpellate individuals in particular ways and thus might better enable certain subjectivites and constrain others, the thesis sets out to identify the kind of messages that the two different political systems in Hungary communicated to women in general through their political discourses, actual legislation, and social policies. Within this socio-historical framing, the research traces how female subject positions emerge in the respective periods, and turn into speaking positions with women cultural producers in the specific fields of cinema and the visual arts.

  • A Fiery Splash in the Rockaways and Twists on Film at the Whitney
    ART & DESIGN A Fiery Splash in the Rockaways and Twists on Film at the Whitney By ROBIN POGREBIN MAY 26, 2016 Japan Society Show When the Turner Prize-winning artist Simon Starling was preparing the piece he would exhibit at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art five years ago, he learned about masked Japanese Noh theater, which inspired W. B. Yeats’s 1916 play, “At the Hawk’s Well.” Now Mr. Starling is building on that project with “At Twilight,” his first institutional show in New York and a rare solo exhibition at Japan Society that features a non-Japanese artist. It is also the first exhibition by Yukie Kamiya, Japan Society’s new gallery director, who used to be chief curator at the Hiroshima museum. The show is organized with the Common Guild of Glasgow, which will present Mr. Starling’s version of the Yeats play in July. Mr. Starling said that he was intrigued by the idea of masked theater, “where nobody is who they appear to be.” Pogrebin, Robin, “A Fiery Splash in the Rockaways and Twists on Film at the Whitney”, The New York Times (online), May 26, 2016 The Grand Tour: Simon Starling 19 Mar 2016 - 26 Jun 2016 Nottingham Contemporary presents Turner Prize-winner Simon Starling’s largest exhibition in the UK to date.

  • “REVOLUTIONS RELOADED Werkstatt Rumänien” May 10Th - Jun
    p r o g r a m www.pushthebuttonplay.com march 2005 edition “REVOLUTIONS RELOADED werkstatt rumänien” May 10th - Jun. 5th, 2004 On Monday, May 10, 2004 play_gallery for still and motion pictures in Berlin is opening Revolutions Re- loaded. This exhibition is dedicated to the present Romanian artistic scene and is the result of a collabora- tion with the MNAC (National Museum of Contemporary Art) of Bucharest. Curated by Marco Scotini and Mihnea Mircan (curator of the MNAC in Bucharest), the aim of this exhibi- tion is to present a selection of the top exponents of recent generations of Romanian artists, through a temporary picture and video archive. It takes place 15 years after the fall of communism in the Eastern European block, at a time in which the importance of the 1989 events seems strongly reduced, if not a remote past. Revolutions Reloaded is not limited to a plain post-communist cartography. It tries to focus on the contra- dictory spaces and the growing disparities of this very real “laboratory of the European future” in which the conflicts between different historical times and different resources coexist within the state of transition from the “welfare” condition to the new-liberal system. Revolutions Reloaded aims in fact to be a sort of database of Romanian artists’ political reactions. A politically oriented art, not defined geographically, which finds a more vulnerable and realistic terrain here, in the impact with globalisation. The “revolutions” to which the title alludes are the sign of diverse ways in which emergency can be faced, freedom is un- derstood, democracy is prepared and Romanian reality after the Revolution of 1989 is registered.

[email protected] New Museum to Present “Ostalgia,” a Survey Devoted to Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Republics Multi-floor Exhibition Will Be on View from July 14–September 25, 2011 New York, NY… This summer, the New Museum will present “Ostalgia,” an exhibition that brings together the work of more than fifty artists from twenty countries across Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Republics. Contesting the format of a conventional geographical survey, the exhibition will include works produced by Western European artists who have depicted the reality and the myth of the East. “Ostalgia” is curated by Massimiliano Gioni, Associate Director and Director of Exhibitions with Jarrett Gregory, Assistant Curator, and will be on view at the New Museum from July 14 through September 25, 2011, occupying all four gallery floors and the lobby. The exhibition takes its title from the German word ostalgie, a term that emerged in the 1990s to describe a sense of longing and nostalgia for the era before the collapse of the Communist Bloc. Twenty years ago, a process of dissolution began, leading to the break-up of the Soviet Union and of many other countries that had been united under communist governments.

Against appearances , addresses the fundamental proposals of our gallery project. Departing from a certain skepticism, the selected works are based on practices that criticize artistic mediums, the representation of reality and the languages which, from the art world and the media, codify our society. The art object thus takes on a double role as both a social product integrated into a productive medium, such as the arts, and a platform for criticizing these productions. Strategically using the ambiguity of images and sounds, the works question structural systems such as the control of the imaginary, information and environmental sound, the use and production of violence, the rigidity of certain categories, the control of knowledge or the excess of external stimuli. The exhibition invites the observer to construct dialogues among the artists, as well as between the artists and the mediums they work in.
