“A momentary and long-term experience which is always different. It is enough to visit the museum only a few times a year to make you feel more satisfied. Experiments show that the same individual remembers different details depending on the state they were in when visiting the museum. Memories after a museum visit are the icebergs of the new knowledge gained.”
This is how Zsuzsanna Fehér, director of communication, responded to our question regarding what a museum gives its visitors. “A visitor also puts trust in us when they decide to spend valuable time understanding more about the world and about themselves in our museum.”
Even after 30 years, the Ludwig Museum stays true to its fundamental concept: the contemporary art of the Middle and Central European region, vast exhibitions based on scientific research and international guest exhibitions are all in the limelight.
Held from the beginning of February through the end of March, Ludwig 30 presents the work and achievements of the museum from organising the collection through temporary exhibitions, digitalisation, museum pedagogy and communication to a Hungarian appearance at the Venice Biennale. Four smaller in-line exhibitions will be displayed for two-week periods, while film screenings, presentations, special concerts and exclusive events complete the series.
For two whole months, there will be a lot to see at the Ludwig. Here are a few of our favourites:
Between 5 and 17 February, Insert displays works made in graffiti style, but not as a real graffiti per se. Graffiti appears on the street, its creator is anonymous and motivated by the thrill that comes from the prohibition of this form of art. However, the graffiti-style paintings at this exhibition were made in the studio, do not violate public space or buildings and may be only removed for their frivolous content. The creators here are not anonymous, but use the same tag or name on the canvas as on the street.
On 16 February, visitors to the Ludwig Museum can enjoy a live concert titled Changing Grey. The duo of Balázs Zságer and DJ András Genser, IDM, mixes techno effects with ambient and other musical associations in their music. Fantastic visuals enhance the live performance.
Advances in technology have also facilitated museum collections in the past few years. The Ludwig Museum bought the first work featuring technical tools in 1996 and began using moving images at exhibitions from the year after. Between 19 February and 3 March, an exhibition titled Tools presents conceptual, video and computer works from the past 20 years, providing a comprehensive picture of major trends in media art.
