			The exhibition Folded – Unfolded presents a specific genre of a particular era: abstract painting by Hungarian artists from the 1960s and the 1970s. The exhibition aims at helping the audience discover the characteristics of abstraction in this given historical and geographical context. We present the Hungarian artists and their works in Korea, a country with different traditions, however, with a similarly strong connection to the notion of abstraction. Furthermore, the exhibition will appear in a contemporary setting connected to Frieze Seoul 2022 and Kiaf (Korean International Art Fair) Seoul 2022. Immersing ourselves into the different interpretative frameworks and the characteristic utilisation of materials and motifs will facilitate the understanding of differences and similarities. The possibility to relate Hungarian artists’ works with the artistic practice of Korean creators and artists from a diverse, international background will help the viewer discern the uniqueness of Hungarian art and illuminate the characteristics of abstraction in the East.
