Dénes Farkas
Temnikova & Kasela Gallery
Dénes Farkas’s latest exhibition, “About Dreams That Awaken You,” could be read as a visual poem; it invited the viewer to search for possible narratives in the display, letting intuition be her guide. In this, it recalled the Budapest-born, Tallinn-based artist’s previous show, in 2018, which derived from the poem “Dear Eros,” written that year by the American poet Traci Brimhall. For Farkas, Brimhall’s poem, with its fragile moments of love, sensuality, violence, and intimacy, offered the possibility of pursuing meaning through feeling, rather than through rational understanding.
