Inner Spaces: Emma Kling, Júlia Csapó, Eszter Kálóczy at Gallery Rechnitzer

Gallery Rechnitzer in Budapest presents 'Inner Spaces,' a group exhibition curated by Flóra Gadó featuring painters Emma Kling, Júlia Csapó, and Eszter Kálóczy. The show explores the liminal space of the changing room, questioning what remains after the body departs. Kling's central installation reconstructs a snail-shaped changing cabin from Lake Balaton's shores using bare lumber, with small arched 'Threshold Objects' in oil on wood hung from and within the frame. Her wall-based works on exposed brick feature eyes partially obscured and window-cross divisions. Csapó approaches from landscape and bodily permeability to the non-human, while Kálóczy works from Surrealist cavities where forgotten memory surfaces. The gallery operates across two registers: a light-filled white space holds Kálóczy's ink-and-wash drawings and Csapó's large oil canvases alongside Kling's smaller earthy paintings, while a raw brick space with exposed pipes houses Kling's installation. The exhibition implicitly addresses invisible labor and the psychological shadow, with Kling's motif operating on both registers simultaneously. Photography by Tóth Dávid.
