Braco Dimitrijevic
Ludwig Museum, Budapest
Retrospective exhibition. Since the mid-1970s, Sarajevo-born French artist has been developing his Triptychos Post Historicus concept through installations in several museums: he places a well-known art work beside a functional object and a natural element, often fruit, thereby breaking down the hierarchy of values and pointing out the importance of every form of existence regardless of its origin or its maker.
Sarajevo-born French artist Braco Dimitrijević came to international attention in the 1970s with his Casual Passer-by works, which presented enlarged portrait photographs of unknown people in public places – building frontages or advertising hoardings. The effect was to confront the historical existence and importance of anonymous people and take the production and display of art beyond the traditional venues.
Since the mid-1970s, Dimitrijević has been developing his Triptychos Post Historicus concept through installations in several museums: he places a well-known art work beside a functional object and a natural element, often fruit, thereby breaking down the hierarchy of values and pointing out the importance of every form of existence regardless of its origin or its maker. More recently, he has substituted living animals as the natural elements, thus confronting culture with nature.
The exhibition is being produced in collaboration with MNAC, Bucharest.

Simon Starling
Three Birds, Seven Stories, Interpolations and Bifurcations
Simon Starling (b.1967) is one of the most interesting figures in the contemporary international art scene, known throughout the world for his site-specific projects. His works are always preceded by thorough research in which he transforms and reinterprets existing objects. His installations take the form of a complex sculptural unit: elements bearing apparently far-removed cultural and historical references are brought into a single narrative. Since Starling’s work takes its final form only in the course of his research, the Budapest project is bound to have some interesting surprises for all of us.
Simon Starling won the prestigious Turner Prize in 2005
