A Godot Institute another surprise exhibition is being prepared for the general public. a unique venue and a fantastic artist, Bukta Imre From its fusion, even the decade's most exciting exhibition could be realised.
A November 27from…, the Godot Contemporary Art InstituteIn the exhibition entitled “Műveljük kertjeinket!” you can visit. Besides painting it extends into the space, and all our senses are engaged by special moving sculptures, video works and illusion‑creating projected spaces. In all this, through the particular symbolism of familiar objects, we are afforded a visual experience far from the everyday.
Bukta Imre: Let us cultivate our gardens! Recommended ↗
The local public has not witnessed a tangible, content‑aligned, so‑called “constructed, thematic” exhibition for ten years, except when they had the chance to reach a foreign state museum. Walking through the 1000 m2‑es grounds of the Budapest Godot Institute we encounter location‑specific installations, or rather, performances that pummel both our spirit and our senses with the same force, addressing life’s most important questions – ageing, death, futility or humanity’s relationship to nature.
The exhibition is titled *Cultivate Our Gardens!* – a manifesto, a call to notice ephemerality and the care whose profound meaning and myriad shades are presented by the 70‑year‑old Bukta with a distinct perspective, subtle humour and perhaps even more self‑irony. With a refined eye the artist selects moments of rural life that often seem insignificant to others, moments that unfold like pages of a Márquez novel planted in Hungarian soil. In this way we cultivate our gardens, even as certain values are withdrawn, traditions transform, yet gravity and the cycle of nature remain bound to the earth. Perhaps this is the countryside that has now moved to the capital, where even a bowl of tomato soup that pours out from the plate promises an unforgettable encounter.
The most influential contemporary Hungarian visual artist, who is also significant on an international scale, lives and works in a village in Heves County, Mezőszemer. Imre Bukta (1952) appeared several times at the Venice Biennale, exhibited at the São Paulo Biennale, and their works have been seen – among others – in the Pompidou Centre in Paris, at Bozar in Brussels, within the MűvészetMalom in Szentendre, at the Landesmuseum in Linz, the Jyväskylä Art Museum, the Lundi Kunsthalle, and at the Millennium Museum in Beijing. Their first comprehensive solo exhibition was staged by MODEM in Debrecen, 2008. The largest exhibition to date opened in November 2012 at the Granary.
