Dorsia

"Step into the realm of artistic intrigue as Botond Keresztesi and Kristóf Lázár come together for their exceptional duo exhibition, "Dorsia," hosted on ENA Viewing Space, one of the most iconic art venues in Budapest. Drawing inspiration from the fictional restaurant in Patrick Bateman's world, the exhibition tantalizingly beckons visitors to secure a table at Dorsia—an impossible feat reminiscent of the enigmatic reservations in American Psycho. However, as the guests soon discover, the unattainable allure of Dorsia's table is replaced by an equally captivating life/art experience. Botond Keresztesi, renowned for his evocative mixed-media creations, introduces new paintings adorned with high heels and fire station motifs. The canvases become a dynamic interplay of symbols, colors, and textures, offering a glimpse into Keresztesi's ever-evolving artistic narrative. Complementing this visual spectacle are Kristóf Lázár's charcoal works, which delve into the realms of artificial intelligence concepts. Lázár's pieces, born from the intersection of traditional mediums and cutting-edge ideas, invite viewers to contemplate the synergy between art and technology, offering a fresh perspective on the limitless possibilities of creative expression. "Dorsia" at ENA Viewing Space Budapest transcends the boundaries of traditional exhibition spaces, offering a unique blend of artistic exploration and social engagement. The rooftop setting, coupled with the thematic nod to American Psycho, creates an immersive experience that resonates with both art enthusiasts and those seeking a taste of the extraordinary." Peter Bencze MENÜ "Welcome to the golden shreds of delusion, where existence is more a mental hair-trigger than a real refuge. Dorsia is a metaphysical adventure that inspires dizzying abstractions and philosophical reflections, while the culinary cavalcade it offers chases subjective parallels between the dimensions of time and space. The restaurant, where reality and abstract entities meet, offers a transcendental sphere that reveals a symbiosis of lived experiences and cognitive abstractions. Culinary exploration as experiential realism dialectically merges with the subtle structure of artificial intelligence, while the vibrant resonance of simulated reality reveals the diversity of the universe it choreographs. The strange relationship between existence and strangeness challenges even the most abstract forms of perception. In this monumental deconstruction, reality and simulation dance in movements that not only tear apart everyday dimensions, but can be put into words in a kind of intangible experiment. It promises not just a gastronomic adventure, but rather an astonishingly complex mental and perceptual conversation, where the nuanced pulsations of inside and outside become a continuous dialogue around the tables. The swirling universe of Dorsia is nothing less than an emotional and mental turmoil, swirling in parallels of perception." Kristóf Lázár
