With neo-avant-garde and post-conceptual art being a major component of the Budapest-based private collection of Árpád Balázs and Andrea Dénes, many of their works reflect on issues of society closely linked to the transformation and the symbolic messages of the private and public spaces that surround us. From the 1970s to date, artists have repeatedly visualised these topics with the vocabulary of photography.
Thus, the focus of the exhibition dovetails with FUGA’s profile while the engagement with photography bolsters the Festival’s mission. Works of a critical penchant, and often of humorous even provocative overtone, define the show.
