Artists Space hosts "Episode"--a new video work by Judit Kurtág (b. 1975, Budapest) from October 12 through December 8, 2007 . Following her studies on photography at École des Gobelins in Paris, Kurtág honed her skills at École des Beaux Arts in Bordeaux. Participated in many international exhibitions and art fairs in Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Tokyo, Shanghai, Reykjavik and Kiev among many other places, the artist shows her work in New York for the first time.
Judit Kurtág’s videos present an idiosyncratic harmony of sound and image, and an uncanny digital manipulation that reflects contemplation upon subjectivity. “For me reality is what really happens, what we think is happening, and what happens in our memories,” the artist utters, “So these three layers are mixed, in a Cubist way.” Being introspective yet open to wider explorations, Kurtág’s works play within the limits of expression where the difference between artist, narrator and audience become unclear. Taking motion as the ultimate point of reference, Kurtág’s videos embrace a liminal perception of reality instead of a depiction of the world.
