I was sitting in front of a computer in the first hall of the M\u0171csarnok, and I was trying to answer a question on a rather simplified\r\nquestionnaire called artsurvey 1.0 <\/i>sociological research series, the question was: for whom do the artists create their works? As\r\nmy options were restricted, and – unlike during the opening ceremony – there was no one else in the room apart from me, I was able to\r\nthoroughly study Lajos Csont\u00f3’s work the title of which became the title of this present piece of writing, and I came to the conclusion that\r\nthese works of art are made for that small section of the public who recognise the people posing on the pictures, and, within this group,\r\nwhom also visit this Internet site. Because those who get their information from the daily and weekly papers (and they are in the majority)\r\nabout what an image, fine art, work of art or an object of art is (introduced by Viewpoint service<\/i>), find the services of young artists\r\nuseless, like, for example, the project called Rent an Artist!<\/i>, the astrological help of the Venus Studio<\/i> to interpret objects\r\nof art, the Attendometer, <\/i>which shows how much certain works of art are attended, the series of family slides taken of the\r\nexhibiting artists, which is also available, or the Exclusive<\/i> telephone interview with the curator. However, the consumer-friendly\r\ntendency is represented intensely at the exhibition, the integration of the language of mass culture and the use of new media tools support\r\neasy, problem-free reception instead of getting absorbed in the works of art. It seems as if the climate of our country was determined by\r\nsteady winds due to the compelling effect of which the artists glide past above the essence of things: the screens are flashing at home, and\r\nthe city is built up of a pile of hasty, superficial looks taken at the fast food restaurants, petrol stations and worn-down factories. Not only\r\nthe viewers, but the artists themselves should spend some time thinking about Csont\u00f3’s warning: it is not necessarily indulgence in the\r\nidol of perception that can be regarded as beatific at the beginning of the 21st<\/sup> century. Just like rejecting the trend role,\r\nconsciously undertaking opposition to the fashionable tendencies in the hope of some concrete high-art out-of-time classification can\r\nalso be self-deception: it can result in boredom just as well as in enthusiastically welcome and accepted trendiness. Although I myself may\r\nalso be cherishing delusive dreams when I am expecting artists to realise this fact, who have already achieved an essential point of the\r\ntasks prescribed in the 12 points of Small Fine Artists<\/i>: an exhibition in M\u0171csarnok.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
