Past exhibitions

Place Value is not the first exhibition dedicated to displaying our new acquisitions. This year’s selection is special in that it mainly includes works that have been acquired – purchased with the help of the NKA colleges, deposited by the Ludwig Stiftung in Aachen, or donated by artists and art collectors – over the last 7–8 years and only those that have not been shown in our permanent and temporary exhibitions before, thus providing the public with a sense of novelty.

The autumn program series of the Transparent Sound New Music Festival 2021 has started. In the three autumn months, performances are organized in cooperation with several Budapest institutions. In October and November installations are presented in several parts of the city, including Bálint Baráth's new eight-channel work OktoLudium, which can be seen and heard at the Ludwig Museum in Budapest.

The exhibition builds a bridge between contemporary art and the artistic tools of 30,000 years. Through a selection from the archeological finds of the Carpathian Basin and from the cultural and historical artefacts representing the rise of citizenship, the show will present the evolution of the role of hunting.

The exhibition highlights the exploitative practices that have led to the current global environmental, economic and social problems. The works displayed present several possible solutions, from waste-free household management through voluntary simplicity to the concept of an economy without growth.

The exhibition invites the viewer to an adventure that highlights the richness of Hungarian film history and the nature of film art that connects time, space and cultures, and through the material presented it seeks to initiate a dialogue.

Time machine is a device that only exists in theory so far, with the help of which we can fly our physical body into the past or the future. The new exhibition at the Ludwig Museum is not about the science-fiction possibility of time travel, but examines the relationship between time and art from different perspectives, and sees the works themselves as time machines that allow us to travel mentally.

The aim of the exhibition is to highlight the environmental impacts and exploitative practices that have led to the current global environmental, economic and social problems. Our other main objective is to provide a broader platform for artistic positions, which emphasize sustainability and offer alternative lifestyles.
