Veronika Molnár

Veronika Molnár curated Strategic Stillness exhibition of Hungarian artists Tamás Ábel and Judit Kis reimagine the recently renovated American Hungarian Library in New York as an inclusive space for rest, reading, and contemplation in 2022. The two artists fill the empty building with sculptural works, site-specific installations, and assemblages of books while actively playing with and occasionally defying its architectural structure. Their tongue-in-cheek references to brick walls and glass ceilings aim to question the existing heteropatriarchal systems of knowledge, power, and representation that dominate the cultural institutions of their motherland.
