For Lóránd Hegyi – director of the Viennese MUMOK from 1990 to 2001 – Vienna has always been a home and to him, within a historical intellectual reference frame, center and core of “Central Europe”. Hegyi is not only an expert on the cities vivid art scene, but also supported it for decades.

Formerly being active as the director of the Musée d’Art Moderne St. Etienne, which is home to the second largest collection of Modern Art in France, after the Parisian Centre Pompidou, and today working as the artistic director of museums in Beijing and Singapore, Hegyi still has all the time maintained a close and active connection to Austria’s capital.

In this sense his curatorial selection for this year’s edition of curated_by « viennaline” is presenting artists, that have been influencing the Viennese art scene and shaping its discourse, and beyond that were making cultural history.

At the forefront of this spectacular exhibition, the artworks of the legendary co-founder of the “Arte Povera” movement Michelangelo PISTOLETTO, who as well worked at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna for many years as a professor, are going to be presented. The exhibition at the same time is a reference, in fact a homage on Pistoletto – an exceptional artist – who has to the present day unabated interest in and a continuing and deep relationship to Vienna.

Within this exhibition and for the first time in Austria, the powerful and intense artworks of Kendell GEERS are shown as well as a new series of works by Bernardí ROIG. Both artists refer in their artworks to the influential oeuvre of the great thinker Ludwig Wittgenstein. Expanding on this year’s festival theme “viennaline” the show is going to feature artworks by Ugo GILETTA, Marine JOATTON, Barthélémy TOGUO, Sandra Vásquez DE LA HORRA and Fabien VERSCHAERE.

Alongside the artists and Lóránd Hegyi, we are delighted welcoming you at this extraordinary and unique vernissage!

Intriguing uncertainties, au Parkview Museum de Singapour 03 08 2018 / 05 01 2019

Une Exposition organisée par Lorand Hegyi, ancien directeur du Musée D’art moderne et contemporain de Saint Etienne

 

INTRIGUING UNCERTAINTIES highlights the significance of the narrative in contemporary art that focus on singular socio-cultural constellations as well as specific and situational meanings, based on anthropological considerations.

The realm of darkness, chaos and fear is part of our anthropological reality and it is the artist’s role to disclose these hidden forces. The artist, through his radical imagination, elaborates disturbing and destabilizing improbabilities that reflect and shed light on the complexity of human existential experience and character.

These uncertainties and improbabilities have the power to liberate the viewer’s imagination and invite the viewer to engage more readily with artworks on an emotional and intellectual level. Indeed, this was the view of Edmund Burke, a philosopher whose brilliant essay was one of the very first inquiries on the aesthetic power of uncertainties and ‘expressive obscurity’ to free our imagination, create figures and forms of improbability and connections between different realms of experiences. 200 years later, Dennis Oppenheim, whose work is presented in this exhibition, drew the same conclusions as Burke did: he expressed the central role of ‘interior obscurity’ and ‘subterranean energy’ in opening unknown and unimagined connections between different mental systems and emotional terrains. Oppenheim also emphasized the liberating capacity of uncertainty which originates from the unspeakable, the harrowing, and the obscure as a creative force.

Through the visual narrative of obscurity, uncertainty and improbability, the artists of this exhibition bring the viewers on a journey to through the multifaceted nature of human existential experiences and an extremely complex, destabilizing but also intriguing and fascinating poetic universe.
