Alex Mirutziu is currently working at Workshop Foundation Budapest

Added on by Alex Mirutziu.

In the frame of Life Long Burning / Creative Crossroads platform 4th year funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, Alex Mirutziu will work on a new multimedia project entitled LIMP CAPITAL.

Currently in residence at Workshop Foundation, Budapest (April 8-28, 2024), his next presentation of intent will take place on April 24, 7pm at the headquarters of Workshop Foundation (1094 Budapest, Liliom street 41).

Workshop Foundation was founded in 1992 with the aim of providing support for independent artists, encouraging their artistic development in order to facilitate the development of the Hungarian contemporary dance scene as a whole. Its main strategic objective is the encouragement of border-crossing – both geographically and among artistic disciplines.

At this time the artist is rehearsing in the facilities offered by Trafo House of Contemporary Arts in Budapest.

Alex Mirutziu is the artist selected for a 2-year support and development programme as part of the Creative Crossroads project Life Long Burning (LLB) - Futures Lost and Found.

LIMP CAPITAL operates within protocol events. It lays claim to the mind-fuck-be-your-embarrassing attitude of the operator, where speech is drooling, where speech is fetish.

The operator subscribes to no impulse, no fact, opting to turn off their brain and reinforce the subtle capital of ignorance. Its jump-cut structure advocates for the looser-self, for dance without analysis. The body becomes limpified, ornamental, where limp represents the compression of antithesis, embracing resistance in action and edging toward capital. What is anticipated is the expression of an advanced masculinity detached from the virile forms of pleasure.

The protocols are governed by a type of achievement through abandonment and surrender of sovereignty. The goal is to achieve a type of meaning that resolves itself, releasing from speculation and interpretation, owing to its serious blurring effect whose difficulty in delivering a product becomes capital.

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.

Gadó Flóra

The starting point of the exhibition is the notion of home and its goal is to map out the uncertain situations departing from there. What does the notion of searching for a home, belonging mean today, can we still use this word in its traditional sense? How can the process of constant travelling, nomad lifestyle which often affects contemporary artists, alter this? Instead of talking about looking for home, could we talk about a constant homecoming, when the person is in a continuous moving and intends to find stability within this drift. Another keyword in the exhibition is the notion of travel in which the joy of discovery coming from free will are paradoxically intertwined with those social-political situations when leaving is forced.
The artists reflect on these themes in a more poetic, indirect way and present different kinds of strategies, starting from their personal background, through analyzing their countries past, towards wider geopolitical and ecological aspects. Through these they bring into notion such pressing issues as migration, nomadism, the ownership of land and the so-called green xenophobia.

Alex Mirutziu's works ”Unit of Survival” will be shown at Kisterem gallery in Budapest

This event holds a provocative topic and spins it in such a way that the result has the potential to open up new thinking and conceptual provocations. 

My presentation entitled "Pause for Weight" dealt with my constant preoccupation with the problem of thinking in relation to form.
