“Archeo-futurology, the excavation of visual remains of lost futures and modernist visions in a post-futuristic, atemporal age, has become the prime method in the art of Mark Fridvalszki.”
He lives and works in Berlin. Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in 2011 and was a postgraduate Meisterschüler student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig (2014–2017). “The meta-collages, composed of visual materials of two distinct but in many ways parallel futuristic periods – the years around 1968 as the culmination point of “Popular Modernism” and the years of 1989 with a special emphasis on the Rave movement’s struggle against the neoliberal invasion of cultural and political imagination – are the sensual results of a seemingly paradox strategy of digging up the past in search of the future, unearthing the still potent utopian impulses repressed by the antimodern consensus.”
Quotes by Barnabás Zemlényi-Kovács from the book Youhu, 2022
