ATTILA CSÖRGO
16 September - 28 October 2006
This first Italian solo show by the Hungarian artist Attila
Csörgo enables an expansive view on a complex and very
peculiar artistic research in which basic aspects of the modernity
(geometry, perception, representation) are combined with the invention
of devices able to conjugate and reinterpret those aspects themselves.
Attila Csörgo is an example of an artist-inventor who literally
creates new mechanisms and images based on the development of geometrical
paradoxes: «At the beginning what I cared for was the a priori
incompatibility between two systems apparently in relation: the plane
and solid geometry» [Csörgo].
Installations, objects, photographs and drawings arise from this concept:
they show solids mechanically moved or kept hanging in the space by
slight draughts; geometric images created by the light; special cameras
invented to provide a 180° degrees panoramic view of the surroundings;
buildings plans showing the continuous development of their surfaces.
Attila Csörgo was born in 1965 in Budapest, the city where he
began his studies at the Fine Arts Academy. He then studied at the
Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam.
Among his international participations, we would like to mention the
1999 Venice Biennale (Hungarian Pavilion), the 2003 Istanbul Biennale
and the Und es bewegt sich doch... in Bochum.
A catalogue with German, English and Italian texts by Riccardo Caldura, Attila Csörgo and Claudia Seidel is available.Images of all the exhibited works and of the special projects are included in the publication.
