Descripción del proyecto por Ponce+Robles.

Ponce + Robles is proud to present the last works of Aggtelek.

Through out their paintings, sculptures, drawings, performances and installations, Aggtelek explores in their projects ideas about authenticity, authorship and creative processes. Their various aesthetics linked with market trends, define the rules of the artistic convention in an ironic and informal way. The procedure of Aggtelek revolves around the expansion of ideas, taking this methodology and influence to the land of reality.

In the new series of canvases titled “Name Paintings”, names are incorporated making this the motive of the frame to address in an ironic way to the own art market, which tends to treat the artists as if they were commercial brands. The paintings, formally equal, examine ideas and stories behind each subjectivity to expand in an imagined representation which is created and executed in the spectator’s mind. Each painting leads to an infinity of readings, as many as those who stand before it. With this exhibition, Aggtelek forces to go beyond the aesthetics and focus the attention on the process and the glance.
