Radics Márta 

KORTÁRS KÖZELÍTÉSEK
CONTEMPORARY APPROACHES

Museum of Ethnography, Budapest

The second show of "CONTEMPORARY APPROACHES" presents the work of Márta Radics.
The series offers an insight into the work of the International Ceramics Symposium 2023, organised at the International Ceramics Studio. Last year's symposium, themed "Roots" was organised with the cooperation and support of the Budapest Museum of Ethnography, and the organisers invited the artists to draw inspiration from the Museum's ceramics collection and to reflect on it in some way with their contemporary works. The works of the seven participating artists can be seen in solo exhibitions every six weeks in the Kerámiatér of the Museum of Ethnography.

Exhibition tour: Wednesday, 17th of April 2024 at 16:30 with Radics Márta, artist, and Gartner Petra, museologist.
Museum of Ethnography (1146 Budapest, Dózsa György st. 35., Kerámiatér, -2. floor)

FÜGGELÉKEK
ATTACHMENTS
an International Ceramics Studio Collection exhibition

Our collection offers unusual solutions to the fundamental tension between the image and the object, or even to further heighten it. Breaking down the ideas of wall objects, some works that are clearly not intended for the wall and are not essentially hanging become appendages in the exhibition: tightly framed thoughts, emotions, surfaces, portraits, dolls, abstract structures, nature-inspired shapes, a corpus and a gun...
The act of placing on the wall keeps a distance from the recipient, who in most cases is „only” an observer and not a tactile enjoyer of the sight. The FÜGGELÉKEK’s artworks overrule this kind of generality, because ceramics, as a quality, as a material, is entirely tactile.

Opening: Thursday 28th March, 2024 at 17:00
Opening by: Novák Piroska design theorist and Applied Art Museum museologist.
Welcome by: Kontor Enikő ceramic artist
Exhibition open until: 13th April, 2024. Tuesday to Saturday, 14.00 - 18.00
