> Exhibition The State of Images. The Media Pioneers Zbigniew Rybczyński and Gábor Bódy, is an attempt to juxtapose two pioneers of media art, Zbigniew Rybczyński (PL) and Gábor Bódy (HU), both of whom developed under the influence of the first European avant-garde. They begun their artistic enquiries in the early 1970s and immediately took on the challenges of the new media technologies, initially as experimental filmmakers and then in the field of video. Despite similarities, their artistic apparatus is highly distinct: Rybczyński is an illustrator, designer, and an engineer. Bódy in contrast is a poet, linguist, semiotician, and a dramatist.
> Surprisingly, the paths of these two artists from Central Europe have never crossed before. This exhibition gives a unique opportunity to both appreciate their different artistic languages as well as seek for possible intersections. One immediately noticeable trait in their oeuvres is the spirit of progressive, radical and revolutionary experimentation. Over the years they have used technology to persistently examine the boundaries of both technology and human imagination; regardless of the socrealist regimes in which both of them initially worked. Yet even after moving westwards, where technology was much more advanced and well-developed, they did not relinquish this spirit. In fact, for both Rybczyński and Bódy technology was always a tool and never a goal in itself.
> The exhibition shows stages of their creative development that were building up through time but also through space and is at the same time a perfect demonstration of how boundaries between East and West might be flux. Presented videos, animations, drawings, calculations and wide-ranging reflections reveal the universalistic quality of their art that is utterly humane.
