Reka text catalog[style] [/style]Artversus visual manipulation
  Which are thereal limits of art’s engagements in a conflict of signs, of thesemiological mixtures within the frames of a civilization, whichwitnesses the whirl, confusion and frenzy of the symbolic systems’relaxation in simulacra systems, and the exchanges of ideologicalcontents or only a simple significant detail dominate the strategiesapproached in the operation with signs?         The ambiguity of theinitiating investments de-stabilizing and de-constructing theattitude, the message and the presence or absence of values practisedin the territory of communication and art after almost a century ofparody practice generated, on the one hand, by the successiveavant-gardes, and on the other hand by the suspicion, even therepulsion generated by the imperative or the excessively seducingstrategies of the political or economic dictatorships, favor both theerosion of the messages’ credibility and the automatism of thereception process, the carelessness when dealing with complexmessages, and the suspicion when dealing with the grave andprofoundly employed messages. In the program text of herexhibition project, Ugron Réka dissociates, by means of apertinent analysis, the mechanisms of these divergent imperativestrategies’ action, according to the approached typology of idealsand psycho-social tropisms. The great collective ideals of theethnic, racial, national, and confessional affiliations, denoting theclass and genre, whose target is the way and engagement of life, riskthe fanatic deeds, the collective violence, the intolerance andsocial rigidity, but favor the definition of the individual andcommunity beyond the opaque organization in the material possession.They also favor protests and the subminative rhetoric, while copingwith rhetoric values and oppositional violence. The seduction andpersuasion of the imperative aspect in the process of consumption,specific of the economic dictatorship, aim to define the alienationin things, and the evaluative criteria of the goods, decreasing thevalue of the trans-material ideals.Art critic  - Alexandra TituTranslation into English RitaTasi.
