Statement #16

Mark Fridvalszki & Zsolt Miklósvölgyi — A World Without Any Future?

Performance, January 25, 2022, 7 pm
Open space, from 4 pm

We are living in the age of Aquarius. If one was to believe Western astrology and esoteric thinking, air—the element of this zodiac sign—stands for the intensification of processes associated with the mind and soul, immaterial goods, and not least, with revolutionary ideas. Departing from Western thought permeated by psychedelic subcultures since the 1960s, artist Mark Fridvalszki and author Zsolt Miklósvölgyi negotiate the sensual materiality of failed visions of the modern age. In Kunstraum Lakeside, Fridvalszki and Miklósvölgyi install an experimental setting where the metaphor of the psychedelic trip is used to make the energy of diverse counter-cultural momentums tangible—not only with the aid of a careful selection of pertinent contents and references but also in direct conversations with the two artists.

Mark Fridvalszki ( 1981 in Hungary) lives and works in Berlin. | Zsolt Miklósvölgyi ( 1987 in Hungary) lives and works in Budapest.
