This event, which will feature four internationally renowned artists, is a unique opportunity to explore new artistic dimensions and dialogue with works that challenge traditional conventions.
The Artists of “Contemporary Apparatus”
Robert Barry
Robert Barry is known for his minimalist and conceptual approach. His works often focus on invisible and intangible concepts, such as time, space, and energy. Barry uses a variety of media, from installations to texts, to create an open dialogue with the audience. His works challenge the viewer to think beyond the visible and immerse themselves in an intellectual experience.
Joachim Mogarra
Joachim Mogarra takes an ironic and playful approach in his photographs and installations. His works often reinterpret everyday objects in surreal contexts, creating a fascinating contrast between reality and fiction. Mogarra invites the viewer to see the world with new eyes, transforming the mundane into something extraordinary and poetic.
Vera Molnár
Vera Molnár is a pioneer of digital and computational art. Her works explore the possibilities of geometry and algorithms, creating abstract and rigorous compositions. Molnár uses the computer as a creative tool, demonstrating how technology can be a powerful means of expression in contemporary art. His works are a continuous dialogue between order and chaos.
Gabriel Orozco
Gabriel Orozco is a Mexican artist who spans various media, including sculpture, painting, photography, and installation.
