EXHIBITION: BORSOS LORINC: THE SPECTRE IN THE WEDGE

OPENING: 05/05/2026, 18.00 | free event within the Public House 

Within a space of unsettled freedoms and competing parties, movements, and cults, a speculative infrastructure has long been operating in secrecy: OKKULTEK – a fictional agency dedicated to the research of paranormal and parapsychological phenomena. Functioning at the intersection of occultism and technology, it is now opening to new agents.

The exhibition sustains a moment of possession. It stages once again the manifestation of an entity codenamed MIKE, which escaped from the Cosmic Girl music video and has settled between the symbols of the car and uranium. A space unfolds where the illusion of speed and the myth of control merge with messages from other dimensions. The wedge form defies the functionality of the vehicle, transforming it into a symbol of desire. The piercing eyes of Ferat warn car lovers, even as they lure them toward a perilous spin. The summoning may last only an instant. An entity from other spheres arrives. She is cosmic.

“The Borsos Lőrinc artist-duo’s key area of focus is researching the constructed nature of artist identities. Their question, asked through a range of media, methods and motifs, is how art can become a programmable composite entity. In their case, hybridity – as a concept of multiplicity and iterability – relates critically to tendencies which are committed to maintaining the artist-artwork-oeuvre triad as an organic unity. Borsos Lőrinc create at once a private mythology and a critique of mythology in general. They fabricate a face for themselves, and by so doing reveal the emptiness of the face’s „place.” The artworks, installations and events they create are the prosthetic media of their (anti)mythology. (…) Borsos Lőrinc are neither one, nor two, neither husband nor wife, neither art nor anti-art. Rather, this name denotes the place where all of these movements and convulsions converge. We cannot know how many are inside the seething cauldron. They are legion.” – Mário Nemes Z.
