Until 2019, the date of her first ever solo exhibition organised by acb, Katalin Nádor (1938-2018) was known as the photographer of the Janus Pannonius Museum in Pécs where she worked for decades. Her name was also associated with the documentation of performances and exhibitions realized by the Pécs Workshop. She had first institutional survey exhibition in Robert Capa Contemporary Photographic Center in 2019, which was another milestone in the reception of her autonomous artistic practice.
The newest exhibition of Nádor held in the space of acb Attachment reveals a new layer of the independent, experimental, lyrical abstract photographical work she developed in parallel in the course of the sixties and seventies is rooted in the visual heritage of György Kepes’ and László Moholy-Nagy’s photography, and reflects on the contemporary, new constructivist, geometric artistic endeavours of the Pécs art scene.
Her photograms, graphical still-life analyses reveal a sensitive, singular artistic perspective that examines the aesthetical relation and reciprocity between nature and architecture, landscape and object through the lens of abstract photography.
