Visitors have the opportunity to learn about Bill Viola, a prominent figure of contemporary art, and to familiarise themselves with his work at the NEO Contemporary Art Space in the City Park, where three works and an interview with the recently deceased video artist – whom Laure Cumming, a critic at the Observer, called the Rembrandt of the video era – will be presented. The works, which can be seen until the end of March, are connected by “silence”, as visitors can watch films in the exhibition space with the common feature of having no sound accompanying the projected sequences. The works are meditative, profound pieces about the human psyche, which, following Bill Viola’s death in July, also constitute a memorial to his work. With its exhibition “Silence” the NEO art space seeks to bring the world of meditative works close to audiences through Bill Viola’s works, exuding focus, serenity and peace. The exhibition can also attract the attention of visitors who are interested in the realms of psychology, religion and technology and are open to symbols of cultural history. The exhibition presents three works and an interview in the hope that Hungarian audiences will become more familiar with not only Bill Viola’s art but also with the uniqueness of video art. The three works – “Silent Mountain, 2001”, “The Encounter, 2012”, and “Ancestors, 2012” – explore different psychologically pivotal moments of human existence. A short film report accompanying the works was produced by Christian Lund in 2011 for the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. Come to our events organised in connection with the Bill Viola exhibition.
