Exhibition Opening: Bp. György Szabó Object Sounds Installation + Poster Collection + CD Artworks

The artist and musician Bp. György Szabó has been creating a conceptual framework with his legendary industrial-noise band Bp.Service since the eighties and nineties. From the outset, they collected urban sounds and noise residues, in the spirit of the currently fashionable soundscapes and were "the city's sound interpreters and dubbers." The works by Bp. György Szabó exhibited here also explore the issues around "leftovers", "functionless", "unused", juxtaposing the unnecessary, but not as yet discarded objects from everyday life with equally functionless background noise.

Those things that are constantly there in the background, those are useless for us, and have no real function, but we hear them anyway. The exhibition consists of six independent but interlinked pieces. Each of these six works is accompanied by a radio. Occasionally, the artifacts of metropolitan life meet up with the sound threads from randomly blaring radios. "I incorporate the waste/unused objects from our immediate environment into my works, selecting them so that dozens of objects in a fresh context carry their own message. It is a corollary of the visual object chaos of everyday life, a by-product of metropolitan life, a functionless, harmonious selection of unbridled consumption."

The Bp. György Szabó popup exhibition is on the -2 level: Bp. György Szabó CD artefacts Disuse is also reflected in CD artefacts, a hundred prepared CD discs have lost their original function in the digital age, and while they have not yet been discarded, they no longer serve any function, just like the small objects attached to them. Bp. György Szabó poster collection As a fine artist, Bp. György Szabó designed concert posters for numerous new wave bands, but he also collected many posters that advertised live performances in the 1980s. This is a selection of them.
