I have work in an amazing museum show in Budapest until Nov 12th! The group exhibition at The Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Art is entitled ’The Cuteness Factor’ and aims "to present and contextualise a current tendency in contemporary art, and especially in painting. The artworks, mainly by artists of the middle-aged generation, are constantly revisiting familiar characters from the cartoons of the 1990s. It is an easily detected visual language that oscillates between abstraction and figuration, experimenting with the conscious blurring and interplay or even separation of these two poles." "The absurd experience of recent years, the emergence of global problems and conflicts and increased digitalisation have been a heavy mental burden for the man who lost his footing. The exhibited artworks approach global or everyday problems that seriously affect societies in a light and playful way, with humour and (self-)irony. Adding a critical tone to the notion of “cuteness”, they encourage the audience to question perfectionism and kitsch mediated and represented mainly by social media.“ Curators: MAJ Ajna, Jan ELANTKOWSKI EXHIBITING ARTISTS - Katherine BERNHARDT, Cosima von BONIN, BOZÓ Szabolcs, Jon BURGERMAN, Paul CHAN, Maja DJORDJEVIC, Philip EMDE, FISCHER Judit, Max FREUND, GALLOV Péter, GELITIN, Antwan HORFEE, Ben JONES, Teppei KANEUJI, Misaki KAWAI, Austin LEE, Martin LUKÁČ, Markéta MAGIDOVÁ, MAKAI Mira, Eddie MARTINEZ, Annette MESSAGER, Takashi MURAKAMI, Robert NAVA, Anne NEUKAMP, Joakim OJANEN, Joyce PENSATO, Mario PICARDO, Paola PIVI, Hunter POTTER, Mika ROTTENBERG, TÓTH Balázs Máté, Felix TREADWELL Photos by Dávid Biró @ludwigmuseum #jonburgerman
