It seems nothing can interfere with the continuity of day to day exhibition administration. There are no holidays during normal\r\noperations, artists create works, periodicals are published and everybody organises their next exhibitions as if duty bound. This time the\r\nholders of the Derkovits scholarship exhibited their works of art in the Ernst Museum in the frame of the Art Scholarship Holders’ Festival.\r\nIf the organisers of the festival say that the Derkovits scholarship has traditions, it rather means here that it has a rugged past and an\r\nuncertain future. Its present is incomprehensible and dismal, although this may be the nature of the given present always. The term \u201dwide\r\nrange\u201d has become the call of times lately, that is give the opportunity to all, so that when you have seen it all, you can establish\r\ndefinitively the location of real art. A peculiar consequence of the misinterpretation of \u201danything goes\u201d is that the measure of quality can be\r\nnothing else, but the demands artists have with respect to themselves. If you look at the exhibition from this aspect, you will find out how\r\ndifferent the standards are. Some search for their potential public among the customers of Hungarian public statues or some could become\r\nexcellent applied graphic artists (Sebesty\u00e9n Monori, L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Dinea). Some have international prospects (Lakner, Szacsvay, Sz\u00e9pfalvi,\r\nSzegedy-Masz\u00e1k, Eperjesi, Havas), while others have only done the minimum (Andr\u00e1s Braun, P\u00e9ter Cs\u00e1sz\u00e1r), or tried to do their best, but to\r\nno effect (Boldizs\u00e1r K\u0151, \u00c1bel Szab\u00f3, \u00c1ron Bal\u00e1zs among others). Since we had the chance to see the majority of the works earlier and most\r\nyoung, full-fledged Hungarian artists look for real challenges in other areas, there are neither surprises nor new approaches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

If you were to choose a work that makes you find the Derkovits scholarship worth maintaining beyond sheer subsistence purposes,\r\nthen that is the work of Tibor Gyenis. His installation is a series of photographs entitled Fuji Reala 100, which is well thought out,\r\nimplemented well according to the possibilities and is sensitive to current issues. It is not over-serious, incomprehensible or perfunctory.\r\nIt is not a one-shot, unrepeatable piece at the apogee of a career, but a work simply open to further reflection and sequence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Exploring the limits and reality of his body and environment, Gyenis imagines possible (or impossible?) systems from which he creates\r\nminutely considered pictures. His imagination follows the train of thought of tales. The question \u201dWhat would happen if I were cloned?\u201d has\r\nthe same logic (although more realistic) as the one \u201dWhat if a sausage grew on my nose?\u201d. The imagination of Tibor Gyenis couples with a\r\ndevoted passion for DIY. This is the only way he could produce the muscle replacements, plants recalling the landscaping of the court of\r\nLouis XIV and pictures of people leaning at absurd angles defying gravity of earlier years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Fuji Reala 100 may even increase the tension characteristic of his works, running between photographic manipulation and tricks\r\nfeasible in reality. If he wants to follow this direction, or the one he started in the series featuring his grandparents, he will inevitably have\r\nto face the local limits of technical opportunities for it is difficult to approach the quality of Jeff Wall or Andreas Gursky in this genre even\r\nin countries richer than Hungary. Of course, we should not go ahead that much, but be happy that we have found something noteworthy\r\nbesides the \u201dnormal\u201d operations.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
