A Budapesten elo, szir-magyar szarmazasu El-Hassan Roza Mucsarnok-beli retrospektiv kiallitasa egy olyan alkotoi palyat vazol fel, amelyben egy posztkonceptualis, a szemelyesseget visszautasito hermetikusnak tekintheto muveszeti gyakorlatbol bontakozik ki egy hangsulyozottan szemelyesebb, politikusabb és kritikusabb alkotoi attitud. Az atmenet az identitas problematikus voltanak felismeresen, s azt az formalo tarsadalmi-politikai folyamatok tematizalasan keresztul vezetett - melynek eredmenyekepp egyik meltatoja "egzisztencialis propaganda muveszkent" emliti. Ujabb munkaiban El-Hassan sajat kettos kotodesebol eredo, am a szemelyes erintettsegen tul is mutato kerdeseket feszeget. 

A szimpoziumon muveszek, kuratorok es teoretikusok reagalnak olyan kerdesekre, mint haladas es tradicio nehezen egyertelmusitheto viszonya; a nagyhatalmaknak a vilagpolitika torteneseit leiro definicios monopoliuma; a homogenizalo identitas-csapdak mukodese, az eltero tapasztalok cserejenek lehetosege, illetve a kulturalis kontextusok atforditasanak nehezsegei.

'The Aesthetics of Resistance'

Sympoisum organized by tranzit. hu on the occasion of Róza El-Hassan's Retrospective

(Mucsarnok / Kunsthalle, Budapest 27 July - 1 October 2006)

Date: 29-30. 2006.

Friday 29.09.2006; 14.00- 17.30

Saturday 30.09.2006 10.00- 14.00

 

Location: Műcsarnok / Kunsthalle, Budapest

 

Róza El-Hassan is a Budapest-based artist of Syrian-Hungarian origin. Her retrospective exhibition in Műcsarnok / Kunsthalle Budapest presents an oeuvre where an initial post-conceptual, disembodied and disengaged, rather hermetic period was followed by a more subjective, political and critical attitude. This transition, which later prompted one of El-Hassan's reviewers to call her an "existential propaganda artist", was the outcome of acknowledging the precarious nature of identity and the impact of social-political forces that shape it. In her recent work, El-Hassan interrogates issues rooted in her double identity; but she does so in a way that goes beyond personal implicatedness.

The symposium invited international artists, curators and theorists to reflect upon these issues-which include the vexed questions of progress vs. tradition, the definitional monopoly of superpowers, "identity traps" vs. hybrid cultural locations, the exchangeability of experiences and the difficulties of cultural translation.
