Happy New Year! I would like to update you that Q Contemporary remains temporarily closed due to repair and renovation works.

My goal is to keep this exhibition space running for as long as possible. However, following three years of large-scale exhibitions, it became clear that a change was needed. After giving it a lot of thought, I have decided that Q Contemporary will no longer host an exhibition program and transition to an exhibition space that showcases my private collection. Our mission remains the same – to contribute to the understanding and appreciation of contemporary art in Budapest, especially among younger generations.

Q Contemporary will also launch an artist residency program in Budapest with the aim of supporting artists and promoting cross-cultural exchange. I fell in love with Budapest thanks to its art scene and I want to provide artists from around the world with an opportunity to experience Hungary’s vibrant and fascinating culture.

Our target is to re-open in the second half of this year. While some improvements, like the elevator and air-conditioning systems, have been completed, other renovations are in process or in queue to begin soon. Thank you all for being a part of this journey, your continued support means the world to me ❤️

Please note that Q Contemporary will be temporarily closed for maintenance and renovation works. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience. Stay tuned!

Felhívjuk figyelmüket, hogy karbantartási és felújítási munkálatok miatt ideiglenesen zárva tartunk. Elnézésüket kérjük az esetleges kellemetlenségekért, és köszönjük a türelmüket.

In the meantime, we will continue our mission here on social media by sharing about contemporary artists from Central & Eastern Europe.

Artist spotlight: Dušan Otašević

Otašević became one of Yugoslavia’s most influential pop artists. His early work constitutes a rare example of the influence of Anglo-American pop on an Eastern European artist working under the conditions of 1960s socialism. In his quest for his own voice, the artist violated strict rules and introduced bold innovations, such as the juxtaposition of pure colours, an approach that was permissible at the time only in flag design.

Otašević’s pop icons related more closely to the context of revolutionary socialism than to Western pop culture. For instance, 𝘛𝘰𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘮 𝘰𝘯 𝘓𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯’𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 (1967, see image 3) reflects on Yugoslavia’s 1948 split from the USSR. The triptych portrays Lenin in a characteristic speech-giving pose pointing towards the socialist red star on the left, while on the right there is a traffic sign prohibiting turns to the right.

The two artworks that were displayed in our exhibition, 𝘐𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘢 (2013) and 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘺𝘱𝘵𝘺𝘤𝘩 (1966/2014, see image 4), are both examples of the pop-art quality of Otašević’s expression idiom and use of symbols. Both pieces recall the artist’s work in the 1960s, at the same time filling it with up-to-date political content.

Our exhibition has sadly ended, for those of you who were unable to visit - here are the last rooms featured on our virtual tour.

On the upper floor, the exhibition focuses on artists from the countries of the former Yugoslavia. Among the former members of the Eastern bloc, Yugoslavia is described in the literature as pursuing a “third way”: after the split in 1948 between Joseph Stalin and Yugoslav head of state, Josip Broz Tito, the country exchanged the Soviet cultural model for a largely depoliticised modernism.

As a result, the floodgates were open to Western trends, such as abstract expressionism. More importantly, young, experimental and avantgarde artists were free to organise shows and able to look critically at their own practices. This was a complete contrast to the vehement opposition to abstract art on the part of central Soviet ideology, which dismissed such works as nothing more than the worthless cultural products of “decadent capitalism.”

Artist spotlight: Dóra Maurer

Maurer’s activities as an artist, teacher, and advocate of cross-border dialogue have made her a decisive figure both in Hungary and on the international scene. Maurer’s international renown culminated in the retrospective exhibition curated by the Tate Modern in London in 2019.

She was admitted to the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in 1955, where despite demonstrating outstanding technical skill and having an apolitical content, the cultural policy decision makers of the time refused to accept her eight-print series of copperplate etchings, 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘥𝘢𝘺 (𝘞𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴), as her diploma work.

In the 1970s, she gradually distanced herself from mimesis, at the same time consistently foregrounding issues that would essentially define her entire oeuvre, such as theoretical and practical questions related to the leaving of traces, shifts, displacement, and deformation. The two artworks that were displayed in our exhibition, executed between 1975 and 1978, can also be associated with this period.

Artist spotlight: Stanislav Kolíbal

One of the most important pioneers of Czech avantgarde art, Kolíbal’s art focuses on the interrelationships between perfection and defect, stability and instability, clarity and ambiguity, certainty and uncertainty. His work from 2017, 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘧 (image 3), is on display at our current exhibition.

Kolíbal’s unique style is a fusion of minimalism and conceptualism, and his two- and three-dimensional works eradicate the boundaries between painting, drawing, sculpture, and architecture. He represented the Czech Republic at the 2019 Venice Biennale and his works are included in some of the most renowned collections in the world: The Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Centre Pompidou, Tate Modern, the Guggenheim Collection, among others.

About us

Located in the heart of Budapest, Q Contemporary is inspired by the rising generation of artistic talents responding to tremendous socio-economic change in post-communist CEE.

Q Contemporary, international in reach and outlook, will anchor its main activities in Budapest, in a beautiful four-storey 19th-century villa in the heart of the city. Together with our future sites in London and Hong Kong, we offer a dynamic global space for selected CEE artists to display and sell their work, grow their audience and springboard their careers.
