In his spatial work, typographical studies and architectural analyses,
Andreas Fogarasi investigates the institutional parameters of a geographical
and political space and challenges its cultural representations. By doing
so, he persistently investigates developments and changes in urban spaces
and the conditions of their perception. This permanent artistic work of
transformation produces unusual spatial, formal and structural models.
In 2007, Andreas Fogarasi was awarded the Golden Lion for his contribution
to the Hungarian pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
In his exhibition at the MAK Gallery, the artist subjects the concept
of modernity and the related temporality to an in-depth study, using photographs
of e.g. the Pacific Design Center in L.A. or the Paris Auto Salon.
