Motto: ...we had no idea, but still, double talk was born, the purest language of the world that only recognizes words and it is up to the listener what he or show makes out of them ...
(Frigyes Karinthy: Who does Pistike Remind you of/As Velgaban)
The Applied Art and Visual Art Society ART launched the National Grotesque Applied and Visual Art Competition in 1991. It is the eighth time in 2012 that the competition was announced. Professional jury was to select from 355 works of art by 148 visual artists.
They selected 200 works of art by 108 artists to show. In addition to the fine art works, literature related grotesques were also competing, of which some were selected to be published in the catalogue accompanying the exhibition.
According to the painter and writer on literature György Szamadám, grotesque is one of the most difficult genders as it is somewhat misshaped, repulsive, and very dark, somewhere on the edge of comics though. It is a life-threatening edge, in danger of turning into caricature or garish. It might be exactly the reason why the works of art that competed were very exciting.
The core of grotesque is to show the world in a distorted mirror. It makes us see that we may see the world through a different angle, things we see on a daily basis: with humour, various ideas behind, various twists of understanding. In other words: It is madness itself that, as social environment is madness itself, and so it seems, is in the right place.
As György Szemadám put it: there is no other such an up to date exhibition in Hungary right now. It is Hungarian reality...
