For the rest of this year, Inda Gallery will be dedicating two exhibitions to the art of the 90s. We will select from an era in which, for many of us, a time of personal youthful searching, self-discoveries, experiences and declarations coincided with the search, self-discoveries, experiences and declarations of the new Hungarian democracy that was being born.
We present works from the practice of artists who worked with the gallery in the last decade of the last century. The first quotations are from the works of Lajos Csontó, Róza El-Hassan and András Ravasz. All three are part of the young generation of artists of the 1990s – even the oldest of the three, Ravasz, who was also known in the Újlak group in the 1980s, was only in his early thirties in 1990.
The drawings, prints, photographs, lightboxes and objects on display in the three rooms of Inda thus show examples of three distinctly different practices from the 1990s, to some extent reflecting the trends of the period and the expansiveness of the searches and experiments of the time.
Although the 1990s were already the subject of some of Inda’s earlier exhibitions before COVID, the timing of the two shows is not coincidental: they overlap in time with TechnoCool, New Directions in Hungarian Art of the 1990s (1989-2001), which opens at the Hungarian National Gallery at the end of October.
