Emese<\/strong> BENCZ\u00daR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meditative character that springs from the monotony of handicrafts is emphasized in the works of Emese Bencz\u00far. The short sentences appear to repeat endlessly, making the effort that went into making the pieces a spectacular part of the finished work. The texts respond to the work, too: they are ironic and may be interpreted in general and in the creative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in her thesis project, also on display at the exhibition, she embroidered \u201cI am doing my duty\u201d 230 times onto a close to 40-meter-long shutter strap. She transferred the apparently soft, feminine technique to a masculine, industrial material (a shutter strap) – imitating the fonts and stitch forms of machine embroidery by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimilarity is relative\u201d – that can be read on the various pieces of blue jeans tacked to the wall which offer a possible means of systematization in the face of the chaotic disorder of reality. Over the course of a month, the artist visited a Levi\u2019s store in District V when it closed and took away the collected pants leg scraps that were left after alteration for customers whose body forms deviated from the standard sizing of the pants. Then she embroidered on them the following sentence: Similarity is relative. Finally, she placed them side by side as a statistical diagram, arbitrary yet following a consistent logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
