About the exhibition: This exhibition compares for the first time in Hungary the artists Boris Lurie and Wolf Vostell under the umbrella of their common engagement with the Shoah. At the center of the artistic work of Boris Lurie and Wolf Vostell was their engagement with the reality of the mass media, which can distort all critical content and relativize it. Both artists sought to appropriate visual techniques from the mass media in order to go against the grain and thus counteract the mechanisms of permanent manipulation used by mass media. The hypocrisy of the puritanical American public, which used sex for commercial promotion, was a theme in countless works by Lurie.
