Gideon Horváth’s art is a sensual, tactile-experiential critique of the normative expectations and role stereotypes of the patriarchal establishment. As in his earlier works, the new sculpture installation staged in four interconnected spaces of the former bourgeois apartment, is based on a series of theoretical works and thematic impulses.

In the present exhibition, the gender fluidity, the changing sexuality and the freedom to exist in transforming bodies are explored through aesthetic and political interpretations of vulnerability and the deconstruction of related misconceptions.

The tension between this is represented by fragmented and diffuse spaces constructed from mythological, natural and anatomical quotations. This is the first time that he has worked with the particularly sensitive, malleable yet resilient beeswax in colored form.
