Creative Horizons: Art in the Post-Soviet Era - Featuring Artist Szabolcs KissPál

Featured artist: 
Szabolcs KissPál is an Hungarian artist based in Budapest. His work engages with the social and political circumstances in which he lives and the role of the artist in society, particularly in the post-communist world. KissPál's recent works question not only the legacy of communism but also the legacy of the recent failures of capitalism. Like many artists in former eastern Europe his work displays some ambivalence about the current situation as well as hope for a more structured and controlled continuing emancipation. KissPál works with photography, moving image and sculpture. 

Moderator: 
ChristianViveros-Fauné is curator-at-large at the University of South Florida’s Contemporary Art Museum (USFCAM).
