Close your eyes! Imagine the not-yet-open exhibition space.
It's calm and quiet.
No visitors inside yet, but from the outside, you can hear that things start to move and in one hour this space is going to be filled with artists, visitors, and people from the art scene. The air is spiced with anticipation in the silence. The space is waiting.

This was my favorite moment when I went out to shoot footage on an opening. When I was lucky I had enough time to chose my fav piece before the show was open. I remember walking around in the exhibition of Ernő Tolvaly - Miraculous System in the Ludwig Museum, in different colored rooms with huge paintings in them. It was the same exhibition just as the pic in my first post.
MIRACULOUS SYSTEM - ERNŐ TOLVALY RETROSPECTIVE EXHIBITION - Ludwig Museum, Budapest 2014.
"Ernő Tolvaly, an enigmatic figure of Hungarian art life, is primarily known for his artistic activity involving painting. In spite of his quiet personality, he exerted an influence on his colleagues as an artist, an organizer, and a teacher, from the 1970s until his death in 2008." - says the exhibition description of the museum's website.
Here it is, dated 18. 09. 2014. Pretty old, huh?
I like how the two surfaces meet. The reflecting aluminum (I believe that was the material, but I'm not 100% sure) is covered with a greenish, almost moldy-feeling paint. And if you look from close up, you can see the tiny scratches, showing the hard work.
Do you have any photos of this exhibition? Share it with me!
