Overview

Hungarian artist Má rton Nemes (born 1986, lives in New York and Budapest) creates spaces for bodily perception at the intersection of abstract painting and sculpture, digital culture, techno, and urbanity. In his radical installations of colored-coated steel with embedded speakers and motion sensors, visitors activate light and sound elements themselves simply by moving. Nemes's immersive, multi-sensory spaces reflect the rapid acceleration, fragmentation, and technology's superimposition of our present, while simultaneously allowing for the experience of self-determined fluidity and contemplation. This volume documents Nemes's comprehensive exhibition Metropolitan Baroque at the Museum gegenstandsfreier Kunst (Museum for Non-Objective Art), Otterndorf, featuring works from 2019 to 2025.
