Judit Flóra Schuller: Memory Theatre

‍

Judit Flóra Schuller's lecture and presentation about her current exhibition project at Labor Gallery. 

‍

The starting point of the exhibition is the artist’s family archive and the descendents’ relationship toward this rich material. The artistic research project Memory Theatre examines how the artist - as the representative of the third generation - can deal with this topic and what kind of personal approaches she can formulate toward the archival heritage. Judit Flóra Schuller deals with the mechanisms of memory and forgetting, the notions of loss and solitude. Through the artistic analyzation and interpretation of her family heritage the artist creates space for a possible dialogue between generations. Through this process, as the artist claims, both parties are going through some kind of transformation: the archive itself is reducing and moving towards a systematic order, while the artist is stepping in the phase of oblivion as she slowly abandons the process of cultivating memory. The other keyword of the exhibition is the notion of absence: this is what explains the collecting attitude of the family that had become even more stronger and conscious due to the effects of the holocaust in the family. What motivates the artist is the unreachable process of completing the void of absence, as she continues the research about her own genealogy and trying to get a closure in the process of bereavement. The exhibition unravels fragmented micro narratives through the story of the apartment which the artist inherited from her grandfather, Imre Schuller. Through the act of repetition, appropriation and performative reflections, the artist outlines different patterns in dealing with the heritage of the past. Similarly to the act of remembering and forgetting, Memory Theatre cannot exist as an accomplished entity, it is always in transition; an open conversation between time parallels, layers of history and generations.

In Essence
– Exhibition of the members of FFS

22 December 2016 - 09 January 2017

In Essence represents a photographic view that does not consider the attachment to reality important, and it even questions it in some cases. The exhibition moves the viewer toward a photographic direction through the different abstracting practices of young photographers. The exhibited artists freely use the technical opportunities of the medium, and consciously condense or extract the visual information. Although the works build upon reality – that is a fundamental peculiarity of the medium - , this time it is not realism we get, but its simplified extract through which artists allude to complex topics, such as the phenomena of touch, the visual representation of the invisible, the image analysis of artificial intelligence or the ruling order in chaos. One can find certain real-world references, thus the artists do not cut their works off reality, they only elevate them. These consciously simplified visual worlds on one hand offer less concrete facts, thus expand the possibilities for interpretation, and at the same time focus the attention.

Exhibiting artists: András Bán, Máté Dobokay, Dániel János Fodor, Katalin Illés, Márk Martinkó, Ping-Pong collective (Anna Ádám, Judit Gellér), Ákos Rajnai, Eszter Riga, Judit Flóra Schuller, Lilla Szántói

Opening speech by Bálint Ferenczy, art historian
