Kamen Stoyanov:
Forget It,
We Can Not Afford This


Vernissage: 18 November 2008. (Tuesday) 19.00
On view: Studio Gallery (1077, Rottenbiller u. 35), 19 November - 12
December 2008.
Curator: Stepanovic Tijana



Having already presented three works at this year's Manifesta - one of
Europe's most significant art biennials -, Kamen Stoyanov often deals with
the relationship of art and economy and the dynamics of art world. Sensitive
to social issues, his creative attitude is coupled with a refined sense of
the problematic, with a strong claim for critical thinking and a markedly
conceptual mindset. No wonder thus that despite his young age, the artist is
already in the limelight of the international art world.

The Bulgarian artist living in Vienna comes out with three new pieces for
his Budapest exhibition, reflecting specifically on the local art market.
The works on show in Studio Gallery explore the positions and relationships
of various - active or passive - actors of Budapest's art scene. The artist
appears in the project as more of an initiator or facilitator than a
creator.

The video work Which one should I buy? models the process that takes place
between collectors and gallerists when a work of art is purchased.
Throughout the experiment two gallerists, Gábor Kozák and Margit Valkó,
compete against each other in making the collectors, Zsolt Somlói and
Katalin Spengler, buy the piece offered by them. The participants, however,
remain incognito to one another, and even the artworks up for sale remain
unseen by the collectors. Communication is conducted through chat, using
only written verbal communication in a dialogue about visual phenomena. The
collectors' prying questions and the strategies used by the gallerists tell
a lot about the principles governing the art market. Meanwhile, visuality is
successfully - or unsuccessfully - translated into linguistic structures
before our eyes. The exhibition presents a video documenting the two
bargainings and the encounter/exposure, as well as a "photograph"
representing the text of the chat talks.

The neon piece Forget it, we can not afford this was inspired by an
accidentally overheard fragment of a conversation between a married
collector couple from abroad. Besides being characteristic of the
(Hungarian) art market and the global economic situation, the sentence
receives a highly self-reflexive undertone by being hung on the wall of
Studio Gallery of all places. Stoyanov offers this work for sale, to invest
the returns in saving Labor, a small gallery run by the Studio of Young
Artists. By this gesture he wishes to demonstrate that he considers it
unacceptable that the Hungarian art scene can not afford to maintain this
venue.

The Come and take project explores the attractiveness of contemporary art,
reflecting ironically on the indifferent attitude of the - wider - public.
The irony, however, is aimed not as much at the man of the street who is
less adept at art, as at the actors of the art scene.
Stoyanov handed out 500 flyers around one of the major shopping centres in
Budapest. The first three visitors to show up at the vernissage with the
flyer will get a free copy of the limited edition video work Come and take.
But will the time proven advertising trick succeed in the context of art?
Will it lure new visitors to the exhibition?

The artist, the curator and the Studio of Young Artists cordially invites
all those interested to the opening of the exhibition.
