    In his works, Márton Dés (b. 1987) transposes reality playfully and
    sociographically, sometimes in the form of painted pictorial
    representations, sometimes in the form of textual drawings. In his
    works, he captures with childlike wonder the contradictory, bizarre, and
    mundane phenomena of our lives, which are so familiar to us that we
    pass them by unnoticed. He documents, collects and reveals. Alongside
    the visual representation, texts often appear in the pictorial space,
    various visual clichés and humorous scenes blur the boundaries of
    everyday events and phenomena.


    The images in ÁCIÓ! do not reflect the mood of anticipation that precedes
    grand journeys, weddings or significant anniversaries. It is the
    simplicity and attention to detail of waiting in the schoolroom for the
    big V to appear on the blackboard and a new era to begin.1 We recall the
    idyllic scenes of summer as almost chilling - a time when this season
    was one with the carefree months between two school years. We cherish
    the memory of Lake Balaton, which seemed even deeper then, less of the
    majestic body of water, the dangerous dive or a powerful wave, and more
    of the time spent on the shore, scanning the landscape and hearing the
    summer's hits. It's when we read the ingredients of a product on the
    packaging, when we observe people we don't know at first sight, when we
    observe seemingly uninteresting everyday scenes with a keener eye than
    usual, when we do something with them - just like Márton Dés.


    The artist uses as sources his own photographs, illustrations from travel
    guides, reproductions of old tourist publications and magazines. He
    mixes the visual world of these with the objects, inscriptions and texts
    that surround us. These texts are reminiscent of the lyrics of hip-hop
    and rap songs, with a few letter changes, diverted in meaning. The label
    of a soft drink or an advertisement for a medicine remain in our
    memories as markers of an era. Advertising, ingredient lists, street
    signs and book covers navigate us through space and time. Dés'
    individual way of depicting his images draws on the relationship between
    these layers of memory and the subjects of his observations. Dés'
    anthropological approach allows us to see on the images objects of use
    and consumption, fragments that seem uninteresting, the backdrops of our
    everyday lives. At first glance, the images thus appear visually
    disorganised, their content disintegrating. But on closer observation,
    we see mosaics of our “noisy” and stimulating consumer reality. The
    familiar elements open up the possibility of re-reading familiar
    phenomena for the viewer.

    Hungarian audiences know Márton Dés, primarily for his witty text- and
    drawing-based works on paper, so ÁCIÓ! is a transition into summer, and
    into Márton Dés' more formally painterly and more lyrical approach.



    1 In primary school there is a Hungarian tradition for the last week of
    the school year. The students write the word VAKÁCIÓ! backwards on the
    board day by day, letter by letter, till the last day of the school
    year.

    Márton Dés - Der Konsum ((series from Schwerin, 2016

     

    Márton Dés’s art revolves around the playful and subjective shaping of society,
    depicted through mosaic-like scenes and texts on images. One of the
    fundamental methods of his creative practice is collecting, documenting:
    archiving the small and large objects, characters and places of the
    world around us, often specifically the consumer world. In the space of
    Kashmir Bazaar, you can see an early series of pieces depicting various
    products: the characters of consumer society that are as much a part of
    our everyday lives as our loved ones. Hidden in the fragmented space and
    chaotic environment of the bazaar, the paintings are integrated into
    their real counterparts. I wonder what kind of dialogue develops between
    them and us?

     

    Dés Márton művészete a társadalom játékos és szubjektív megformálása körül
    mozog, melyet mozaikszerű jelenetekkel, képeken megjelenő szövegekkel
    ábrázol. Alkotói praxisának egyik alapvető módszere a gyűjtés, a
    dokumentálás: a körülöttünk lévő világ – sokszor kifejezetten a
    fogyasztói világ – kisebb-nagyobb tárgyainak, karaktereinek,
    helyszíneinek archiválása. A Kashmir Bazár terében egy korai sorozat
    darabjai láthatóak, melyek különböző termékeket ábrázolnak: a fogyasztói
    társadalom olyan szereplőit, amelyek a mindennapjainkban ugyanúgy részt
    vesznek, mint a szeretteink. A bazár fragmentált terébe, kaotikus
    környezetébe rejtőznek a festmények, mintegy integrálódva valódi társaik
    közé. Vajon milyen párbeszéd alakul ki közöttük, és közöttünk?

  • Der Die Das Dés

    Böblinger Kunstverein - 24.03.2024 - 05.05.2024

     

    In meiner subjektiven, (pseudo-)soziologischen Forschung über das

    Deutsche interessierten mich die Motive und Eigenheiten, die das

    Deutschsein am meisten beschreiben, die typischsten und oft

     

    banalsten Gewohnheiten, Stimmungen, Wörter und Zeichen, die mit

    der Kultur und dem Alltagsleben zusammenhängen.

    Ich habe versucht, aus den von mir beobachteten, aufgeschriebenen,

    gesammelten und ausgewählten visuellen Inhalten eine subjektive

    und spielerische Serie von visuellen Inhalten zu schaffen, die

    manchmal personalisiert, manchmal verfremdet, manchmal präzise

    und manchmal schlampig sind. Meine Arbeitsweise ist einerseits frei

    und assoziativ, andererseits trocken und demütig. Die von mir

    gesammelten Informationen werden zu Désinformation, Abstreitung,

    Verzerrung, Ablengkung und Verunsicherung.

    Als Ausgangspunkt dienten zufällig ausgewählte Bilder und Inhalte

    wie z.B. deutschsprachige Bücher und Wörterbücher, aus denen ich

    Deutsch gelernt habe und die ich auf der Straße gefunden habe,

    Reiseführer, Zeitungsartikel, Geschichtsbücher, Anzeigen und

    Plakate, im Internet gefundene Fotos, deutsche Kinderbücher und

    Volkskunstnachlässe, Graffiti und Imbissnamen am Straßenrand,

    Halbworte und persönliche Geschichten, die ich auf der Straße

    gehört habe.

    Ziel war es, eine Brücke und einen Mittelweg zwischen trockenen,

    didaktischen Informationen und Daten und der freien und befreiten

    Malerei zu bauen, in der Texte oft ihre eigene Identität verlieren, sich

    auf etwas beziehen, das nicht da ist, und zu visuellen Elementen

    werden: Linie, Fläche, Farbe und Energie. Ziel war es, eine Vielfalt

    von Inhalt und Form zu finden, bei der verschiedene Bilder

    nebeneinander gestellt werden, um ein größeres und komplexeres

    Bild entstehen zu lassen, wie Gebäude unterschiedlicher Größe,

    Farbe und Funktion, die zusammen eine Stadt bilden.

    Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

     

    Márton Dés
