The International Art Camp of Magyarpolány

The other exhibition I visited last week was made of the artworks of the international art camp of Magyarpolány, Hungary. The gallery is often hosting such exhibitions of art camps from all over Europe. For me it's a special occasion as you see some diversified and really unusual creations, but it is also a huge mystery. Unfortunately I've never had the chance to ask artists about how these art camps are organized, but as far as I know, there could be a topic, or a preset structure to use as guidance.

Lack of information on this one makes me disregard the idea and rather look at what was on display, so let's see what we got today.

A quick glimpse into the first room gives you an idea of what you can expect and for me it is always enough to put a smile on my face.

Rebeka Viktória Tészla - Möbiusz Strip

I can't remember if I've ever heard of Möbius strip, so I ran a search to see if it's something real or fictional. It is real, so I can say today,s post wasn't in vain.

In mathematics, a Möbius strip, Möbius band, or Möbius loop[a] is a surface that can be formed by attaching the ends of a strip of paper together with a half-twist. As a mathematical object, it was discovered by Johann Benedict Listing and August Ferdinand Möbius in 1858, but it had already appeared in Roman mosaics from the third century CE. The Möbius strip is a non-orientable surface, meaning that within it one cannot consistently distinguish clockwise from counterclockwise turns. Every non-orientable surface contains a Möbius strip.

It's a vry unique interpretation of the concept and I'm glad to see such and artwork on display, so different from what we get in the galleries.

Muresan Gheorghe - Composition I.

Composition is a generic term and can be used in case of any artwork, so I suppose it's a way of artists to let the viewers decide what they are seeing.

Looking back to how many exhibitions I've seen over the years, I can confirm that sculpting is becoming less popular, or the number of sculptors is shrinking. Sculptures are less and less, so when we get such an exhibition, we have to appreciate and enjoy it to the fullest.

Muresan Gheorghe - Composition II.

When I saw this composition, my first reaction was to try to move it, to align the base with the pedestal, but it was so heavy, it was impossible to move it.

I don't know what you see here, but ever since I spotted it in the gallery, I keep thinking of those spiraled pieces on high-voltage power poles, or power plants, but I think it could be symbolizing anything and everything.

Tibor Csabai - Genius Novum I.

As far as I ca see, it's a metal shaving, quite a big one, and it means New Genius. What the artist meant? Who knows.

István Harmath - Common Ground

Sooo, here we have a sheep with two heads and no butt, and another with no head but two butts.

This is really funny as dump people are usually called sheep, so a sheep with no head, I can understand but a sheep with two heads would mean a really smart person :)

Attila Diénes - Eden and the Human

Interesting concept and great execution, but I don't think I'd want 10000 eyes looking at me all day, every day :D

Anikó Detkovics - Wreath

It is an unusual wreath as it incorporates some mountains, or glaciers.

Anikó Detkovics - Spikes

You most likely don't want to come in contact with those spikes, but if you look at the texture of the wood and the color, which is really lovely, you can see the execution is spectacular.

Each exhibition is a riddle, or a mind game, but this was twice as intriguing than the others I think. I'm curious what you think. Is it the same for you?
