Free will

The existence of the classical idea of freedom has obviously become the subject of an increasing incredulity, and for the individual, the field where it could come to fruition to a small degree is decreasing. Endre Koronczi’s exhibition expresses the same incredulity, yet it outlines the territory where we can still find a seemingly solid form of freedom that can certainly be called the artist’s free choice (of profession), manifest itself in the artist’s free will, focuses on the art object and is attained through the lonely practice of realization.

Koronczi now raises questions through the adjacency and repugnance of the sets destiny – free will – love that he visualizes with the help of physically reproduced words and forces us to reflect on the real meaning of these concepts. The artist chose general concepts that we face every day but we do not necessarily contemplate. Koronczi sets the theme, but we raise our own questions. Do we really put our head in the yoke of Love voluntarily, if by any means do we not give in to the almost uncircumscribable Lust? We constantly feel the permanent control of Power, but what is the nature of our relation to Ideology? Do God and Reason ever meet and do we meet them? Can Religion substitute for Psychology in our present, or will it remain an instrument of Politics forever? Science, religion and philosophy formulate specific, powerful and distinct answers in their own fields, but how do our own concepts relate to them?
