Biography
Antal is a Munkácsy Award and Perika Award winning artist, founder of the Space Detournement Working Group, and an associate professor at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design. With artworks and projects straddling the line between reality and fiction such as the INERS Series, Art Mobile, Casa Activa, Icelandic Army, Bundesberg Berlin, Metro Istanbul, and UGAR, he partly integrates visual art into the everyday environment and partly challenges traditional notions of art and rituals of reception by transforming the institutional setting.
His works have been showcased in solo and group exhibitions across the world from the United States to Japan, including the Venice Biennale, the Istanbul Biennale, the São Paulo Biennale, and the 4th Manifesta. In Hungary, his works have been most extensively featured at the Workstation exhibition (Ludwig Museum, 2012-2013) and in the catalogue bearing the same title.
