We live in a world shaped by communication. When gestures are no longer enough, language emerges allowing us to connect, express and understand. And yet, there are moments when even words fail. Certain experiences resist translation. Certain feelings remain unsaid.
The Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein once said, “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” The ability to express yourself is closely tied to the means of communication, which are linked to the boundaries of human experience and understanding.
UMWELT VERSTEHEN brings together artists selected through an open call announced in November last year. Inspired by these reflections, we seek to explore the concepts of communication, connection, and existence within our environment, as well as the role we play in it and the meanings we convey and share with one another.
The pop-up exhibition was on view from 20 to 21 February.
Exhibiting artists: Hordii Vdovichenko, Helga Kovács, Lucie Blaze, William Theodoracopulos, Nat, Peaches for Preachers, Taras Tolstikov, SHINE (vegyeskereskedés)
About the artist collective:
vegyeskereskedés is an experimental art project rooted in bricolage, exploring everyday life and community in Józsefváros through language, actions, thoughts, and objects. It creates an open, interactive environment where art becomes a collective process: a way to question, connect, and collaborate. It provokes critical discussions, supports the visibility of queer culture, and brings people together. The term ‘vegyeskereskedés‘ derives from the concept of a community-oriented universal store, where everyone is welcome to engage in conversation and find something for themselves.
Curators: Sasha Hubarieva, Taras Tolstikov
