Tradition reconsidered

The Der­kovits Scho­lars­hip hold­ers’ 2012 as­sess­ment ex­hi­bit­ion in Ernst Mus­e­um

Cura­tor: Jó­zsef Kész­man Named after Gyula Der­kovits, this state scho­lars­hip has been the most im­por­tant form of sup­port that young ar­tists could enjoy for over half a cent­ury, which, its ini­ti­al ideo­log­i­cal char­ge not­withstand­ing, has en­ab­led them to work in­de­pen­dently. With ne­arly 30 ex­hi­bi­tors of­fe­ring a vi­su­al ex­pe­ri­en­ce mar­ked by a co­lo­ur­ful com­bi­na­ti­on of sty­les and gen­res, the ex­hi­bit pro­vi­des a comp­re­hen­sive over­view of the in­te­rests of ar­tists under 35, the ar­tis­tic is­sues and phe­no­me­na they deal with and the inf­lu­en­ces they ab­sorb.

Tra­di­ti­o­nally, it is Mű­csar­nok that sta­ges the as­sess­ment ex­hi­bit – in Ernst Mus­e­um –, and hosts the mee­ting of the scho­lars­hip board. This year, 26 ar­tists from three years pre­sent their work.

The disp­lay is comp­le­men­ted with the port­ra­its of the ex­hi­bi­tors. The se­ri­es was made by pho­to­gra­p­her Zaid Sethi, who lives in Hun­gary.
