Hungary 2023

Title: Reziduum – The Frequency of Architecture
Commissioner: Julia Fabényi, director Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art, Budapest
Curator: Mária Kondor-Szilágyi
Exhibitors: Marcel Ferencz, Péter Mátrai, Judit Z. Halmágyi, Ferenc Haász

The starting point of the project is the new building of the Museum of Ethnography, in Budapest, designed by architect Marcel Ferencz. One of the most impressive elements of the new building is the external decorative lattice; a metal grid of around half a million pixels that runs along the façade of the building. The ornamentation is a weaving of Hungarian and universal culture and a nod to the rich collection inside the Museum. Elements are exhibited here under laser lighting.
