It is not a retrospective or synoptic exhibit that this outstanding representative of Hungarian neo-conceptualism offers. While it focuses on new pieces, the exhibition also delves into plans or sketches that represent important ideas but have remained unrealized for want of adequate spaces or because of the (space) specificity of the installation.

The starting point for Várnai’s investigations, which he carries out in diverse media, is usually a very simple, everyday situation or thing. His objects and images (projections) are characterized by a reduced set of tools, a simple layout, pairing and omission. His installations and object-collages tend to consist of various objects of use. His assemblages are marked by a conceptual and poetic quality, and an air of meticulous DIY. The creation and destruction of illusion, and the mutual references between signs, texts and objects, are also hallmarks of his activity."
