The museum is drawing from its own collection for the show, focusing on newer works, rather than well-known highlights. Among them are recent acquisitions on display for the first time at LUMU. Hungarians represented in the show include István Csákány, Tamás Kaszás, Ádám Kokesch and Csaba Nemes. Work by the internationally-renowned artists Harun Farocki, Zbigniew Libera, Simon Starling, Mladen Stilinović and Goran Trbuljak are also in the exhibition.
?The works are not arranged according to an art historical categorisation or a chronological principle, but in a way which enables us to highlight some other (thematic or formal) aspect of the works. Some of these connections might seem banal or trivial at times, but they rather serve to provide the visitors with starting points for the formations of new meanings,? LUMU says.
?The exhibition aims to rescue these works form a traditional and rigid art historical system that is often capable of showing only a fraction of the connections and correspondences of the works.?
