The show, called Hybridity in the Carpathians - The Irokéz Collection and the Regime Change, presents work from one of the biggest private collections of the period, work that was strongly influenced by a new capitalist reality and a new language that emerged after the fall of the Iron Curtain.
?The new words, the new symbolic language, and the new capitalist social reality resulted in exciting, hybrid cultural formations in fine art as well, which had to react simultaneously to the expanding universe of technical images and the loss of the set of unambiguous former cultural roles (official / alternative). This reaction resulted in the appearance of doubly (ideologically and medially) complex, ?remix? pieces,? MODEM says of the show.
?The works of fine art from this period after the regime change are not only echoing these new, post-socialist images, but also give the visitor opportunity to confront theory and practice, lived and written culture. Through the three concepts of the symbolic, the imaginary, and the real, the main concept of the exhibition tries to serve this activity with such provocative (anthropological, psychoanalytic, and technological) perspectives that may help noticing divergence and differences in the seemingly similar.?
The television personality Nóra Winkler will give a special tour of the show on December 11.
