 “Looking at Barabás’s works we virtually hear the musical inspiration, we discover the crumbled sonorities of Cage, Kurtág and Bozay. […] He senses the variations of metre with a cultivated and intelligent ear as well as the undulating melody and accompaniment alternating with each other. His music, which is embodied in pictures and statues, resounds in our ears as the duality of our era between cacophony and need for order. Somehow it reaches behind our retinas”, wrote the artist and fine art writer István Sinkó.
The Hungarian Association for Music has been organising a Mini-Festival since 1989. In 2009, this important forum dealing with 20th and 21st century Hungarian music is enriched with the exhibition of works by artist Márton Barabás. We can enjoy his spiral shaped reliefs, made from the suspended inner mechanisms of pianos and pianinos, and his web-like statues assembled from piano hammers. In his work Hommage à Attila Bozay the web is augmented with ping-pong balls, alluding to the composer’s composition which called for the piano to be prepared with rubber balls.
At the exhibition, we will also see some of his statues that are in a ring or cylinder shape, on the inner surface of which a piano keyboard runs in a circle as an infinite motif." Source: Palace Of Arts
