Lives and Works in NYC & Budapest Group Show – exhibition

LIVES AND WORKS IN NEW YORK AND BUDAPEST

A multilocated life can be an endless source of inspiration for creative work. Dividing one’s thinking between two places is often characteristic of artists of Hungarian origin who have emigrated to the United States or relocated there voluntarily and have since made it their home. On the other hand, living and working between the United States and Hungary can raise questions of artistic identity, cultural expectations, and the realities of navigating two different art scenes and cultural milieus. It can lead to a sense of not fully belonging to either place, difficulties in adapting to differing artistic approaches, and challenges in building a career or gaining recognition in both spheres. This dual existence creates a unique dynamic for intellectuals and artists who often think in two languages and cultural frames, and who strive to make their work resonate and remain meaningful in both settings.


On the occasion of the LIVES AND WORKS IN NEW YORK AND BUDAPEST group show, the HUNGARY L!VE Festival invited Hungarian visual artists, or artists of Hungarian origin active in New York and Budapest, to participate. What you see here is a cavalcade of artworks by individuals navigating multilocated lives on various levels. Each of them presents one work, accompanied by a personal commentary that offers insight into how the duality of cultural existence continually sparks new artistic insights. All works in the exhibition are sized to fit into a standard carry-on suitcase, a practical constraint, but also a symbolic one: it represents mobility, transience, and the challenge of fitting an entire life and artistic practice into something portable. We all share a deep appreciation for personal narratives, and in this exhibition, we encounter them firsthand. Many of these accounts are moving, even heartbreaking at times. Some artists were drawn into this dual existence by the tides of history; others by love, curiosity, the pursuit of an international career, or simply a chain of coincidences. The exhibition is structured as an
anthology of multilocated experience, consisting of individual visual pieces and accompanying reflections, an irregular reader in which artworks and personal commentaries can be explored side by side. Rather than forming one grand, linear narrative, the richness of these parallel threads underscores the importance of simultaneous versions of lived experience and the relevance of personal perspective.


The mission of this show is to create a space where these stories can be told, discovered, exchanged, and – hopefully – heard in person during the turbulent days of the HUNGARY L!VE Festival in New York City.
