Imre Nagy and Jörg Reissner

The exhibition IN CONTRO (SOLO) shows paintings by Jörg Reissner (1984, IT) in a dialogue with sculptures by Imre Nagy (1975, HU). A central aspect of this dialogue is the mutual interest in the combination of various media, such as sculpture, object art, drawing and painting in their respective working practices. The juxtaposition and interweave of the works in the situation of these rooms in the historically defined context of Gefängnis Le Carceri challenges the similarities and differences of language generation processes and encourages to create an interpretative space in the collision of the languages which questions the limits of the reference languages themselves. (Maximilian Pellizzari)

The two artists Imre Nagy and Jörg Reissner have deliberately decided to enter into a dialog. They chose each other and consciously engaged with each other. They exposed themselves to each other, allowed the other to be present and intertwined very carefully in this publication. (Victoria Dejaco)
