The Ludwig Museum\u2019s exhibition titled \u00c0 la recherche de Vera Molnar<\/em> pays tribute to the artistic legacy of Vera Molnar, who passed away shortly before her 100th birthday. Born in Hungary and educated at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, Molnar lived and created in France from 1947 until her death. From 1968, she was among the first to create artworks using a real computer, and she is still widely regarded as one of the most significant pioneers of computer art.<\/p>\n The exhibition\u2019s title refers to Vera Molnar\u2019s series \u00c0 la recherche de Paul Klee<\/em>, recalling the artist\u2019s experiments in examining art historical influences through her own creative methods and tools. Similar to the narrator of Marcel Proust\u2019s novel sequence \u00c0 la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time)<\/em>, Molnar was interested not only in the mere recall of the past but also in its reinterpretation in the context of the present.<\/p>\n Following this spirit, the two-part exhibition at the Ludwig Museum provides an overview of pivotal chapters in Vera Molnar\u2019s career. Displaying unique and reproduced graphic series and paintings, the exhibition spans from the late 1960s to the present day, presenting the most significant themes and art groups of this unique body of work, tracing the transformations in Molnar\u2019s line and form systems.<\/p>\n Vera Molnar\u2019s works are based on programmed algorithms, constructed from basic geometrical forms. In the beginning, she experimented with quite simple algorithms. Her series works arise from small variations of the basic elements, adding what the artist calls \u201c1% disorder.\u201d Discovery and randomness played a significant role in her working method. For Molnar, the randomness generated by the computer revealed the horizon of possibilities, but the decision and choice always remained in the hands of the artist. Balancing on the border between order and disorder, her compositions combine the geometric formal language with playfulness and a personal, unique sensitivity.<\/p>\n The other part of the exhibition introduces, for the first time worldwide, a special international group exhibition featuring works and unique reflections by invited internationally acknowledged artists. This section pays homage to Molnar\u2019s legacy, and examines her impact on contemporary art.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The exhibition is realized through the collaboration of the Ludwig Museum, the Foundation of Art and Culture (Stiftung f\u00fcr Kunst und Kultur), and the Vintage Gallery.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Exhibiting Artists<\/strong>: Refik ANADOL, Arno BECK, Snow Yunxue FU, Mario KLINGEMANN, Patrick LICHTY, Frieder NAKE, Casey REAS, Antoine SCHMITT, Erwin STELLER, Tamiko THIEL and \/p, u2p050, Iskra VELITCHKOVA, aur\u00e8ce vettier, Mark WILSON, Samuel YAN<\/p>\n Curators<\/strong>: Richard CASTELLI, M\u00c1T\u00c9 Zs\u00f3fia<\/p>\n Project Coordination<\/strong>: Ren\u00e9 FREUND, Vanessa MEYER<\/p>\n Special Thanks<\/strong>: Josef BROICH, CSERBA J\u00falia, HORV\u00c1TH L\u00e1szl\u00f3, BTM Kiscelli M\u00fazeum \u2013 F\u0151v\u00e1rosi K\u00e9pt\u00e1r, KUMIN M\u00f3nika, P\u0150CZE Attila<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Partners and Sponsors:<\/strong><\/p>\n Kultur\u00e1lis \u00e9s Innov\u00e1ci\u00f3s Miniszt\u00e9rium, AAICO, DAM Projects Berlin, BROICH Digital Art Museum, BROICH Digital Art Foundation, EVONIK, Epidemic, gallery Linde Hollinger, Ladenburg AIKA, M\u00dcPA, Stiftung f\u00fcr Kunst und Kultur, VM 100 Management GmbH, Vintage Gal\u00e9ria<\/p>\n Lending Institutions, Galleries and Collections:<\/strong><\/p>\n MNB Arts and Culture, Sz\u00e9pm\u0171v\u00e9szeti M\u00fazeum \u2013 Magyar Nemzeti Gal\u00e9ria, BROICH Digital Art Museum, Vintage Gal\u00e9ria, G\u00f6nczy Collection, M\u00e1rk Hatvani Collection, Ferenc Offenb\u00e4cher Collection, Rechnitzer Collection, Judit Reszegi Collection, Private Collections<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Exhibition at Ludwig M\u00fazeum, Budapest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15469,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[362],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-blogs","entry","clearfix","entry-post-module-layout-sidebar-right","thumbnail-color-tone-dark","entry-post","entry-standard","entry-post-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15468"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15468"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15468\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15713,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15468\/revisions\/15713"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
