Amongst the most well-known of young, Hungarian artists, Attila Csörgő has exhibited worldwide.
As well as representing Hungary at the Venice Biennale, he’s been awarded the Munkácsy Prize and participated in both the Istanbul and Sydney Biennales. His Möbius Space also earned him one of the most prestigious European recognitions in media art, the Nam June Paik Award.
His work explores the adjoining territories of art and science, through experiments with carefully engineered devices of his own design, making use of cameras and optical apparatus. Through off-beat experiments, attempts are made to create and visualize motions and phenomena imperceptible to the human eye, with striking results. His pieces, which function almost like representations of rules of geometry, are constructed from everyday objects and materials placed in atypical situations, and his exhibitions characteristically present both the individual stages of experiments and their conceptual background, as well as the end result.
The exhibition at the Ludwig Museum is undoubtedly the most comprehensive display of his work to date, spanning over a decade. It’s a retrospective featuring most of his pieces, whether they’re now in Hungarian or foreign, public or private collections.
Through January 24 Open Tue.-Sun. 10 a.m.-8 p.m.
