Golden Repair is English for kintsugi, the ancient Japanese technique of mending broken pottery, wherein the pieces are glued together with resin dusted with powdered gold and the breakage is actually accentuated. The works in the exhibition highlight different lines of breakage on the level of the individual and on a global scale, the damages caused by wars and climate disasters, the losses resulting from historical inequalities and exploitative economic structures. These processes determine both the physical health of the individual and the mental state of society. The concepts proposed by the exhibited objects – such as damage, wound, fracture and trauma – can refer not only to humans, but to arable land, our water, the air, the forests – the entire ecosystem. In other words, the exhibition looks at the subject of healing and repairing in a broad sense, including social, natural, ecological, physical and spiritual processes.
The exhibition is on view between 9 October 2025 and 22 February 2026.
This exhibition of the Liszt Fest is jointly presented by Müpa Budapest and Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art.
