Subversive film festival /
The exhibition “Art Always Has Its Consequences” considers the “politics of exhibiting” and, by including historic works and new productions, archive material and research documentation, reconstructing and reinterpreting paradigmatic artistic and exhibition positions from the 1950s until today, shows the historical continuity of similar art experiments which question the social role of art.
The exhibition has emerged as a result of a two-year collaborative project of the organizations tranzit. hu from Budapest, Muzeum Sztuki from Lodz, New Media Centre_kuda.org from Novi Sad and What, How and for Whom/WHW from Zagreb. Through various formats the project deals with topics connected with the modernistic inheritance and joint history. The research was directed towards a specific historical, economic and political context and also towards the forming of internationally recognized “universal” norms, in relationship to which the exhibited art practices try to affirm historical continuity and to question their own context.

INVISIBLE HISTORY OF EXHIBITIONS - symposium
21-22 May 2009, Budapest

"Invisible History of Exhibitions", a symposium organized by tranzit.hu (HU) aims at the formation of shared knowledge and discourse on Eastern European art exhibitions from the 1960s until now. The framework of this project is a long-term international collaboration, "art always has its consequences", that focuses on invisible, alternative histories through exhibition history, artists’ texts, archives, and conceptual design, which have had restricted international visibility and accessibility so far and thus are often missing from the canonized narratives of contemporary art.

Drawing plays an important role in the oeuvres of the artists invited to take part in the series, ‘Tell a line what a sphere is’ (the title comes from a Budapest graffiti), be it an artwork in its own right, a study, or part of an installation. The exhibitions aim at providing opportunity for the audience to experience an intimate but all the more intense encounter with drawings, or works on paper – a medium that has not received its due appreciation in the Hungarian art market, and hence in the collections of this country.
