TechnoCool. New Trends in Hungarian Art in the Nineties (1989–2001) (group show)
Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest
27 October 2023 – 11 February 2024
Matthew Barney’s Cremaster 5 is included in Technocool. New Trends in Hungarian Art in the Nineties (1989–2001). The exhibition explores the ways in which the revolutionising spirit of electronic music, DJ culture, and the new visuality of parties served as key inspiration for a generation of artists who started their career in the 1990s. Alongside Hungarian artists, Technocool also presents work by foreign artists who exerted a major influence in Hungary in this period. The displayed works showcase the development of different media – paintings, readymades, photographs, prints, videos and, to a lesser extent, computer-based art – as a new opportunity for self-expression during the nineties.
