TIRANA, June 22 – A selection of works from the collection of Budapest’s famous Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Art will be showcased in Tirana for three weeks, giving insight into the recent past and contemporary art of Hungary through primarily photo- and multimedia-based works, often involving the figure of the artist.
“The pieces on show from the collection established in 1989, the year of the regime change, are documents of an era, imprints of the ideals and values that permeate everyday life and art – as conceived by the collection’s founder, Peter Ludwig,” the Ludwig Museum says.
Curator Krisztina Szipocs says the main point of the exhibition is “to show the ideas and thoughts behind the artworks, like ideologies, intentions and ideals – among them the communism, consumer society, nationalism, beauty ideals, religious thinking, freedom – which have changed a lot in the past 40 years.
“The pieces on show are documents of an era, imprints of the ideals and values that permeate everyday life and art,” she says.
