Istvan Kantor\u2019s artistic practice incorporates robotic sculpture, video, performance, mixed-media installation, painting, sound, and various other action-based social-mediums like the open-pop-star movement of Monty Cantsin and the world wide network of Neoism. Neoism is a transmission interface and revolving platform to gain public support and media attention for its users.
\nKantor employs all his skills and talents to constantly surprise and fascinate. \u201cI swear to God, I\u2019ll never make any boring art!\u201d he declares with bold determination, irony and wit, holding up a picketing sign.
\nHis main interest lies in creating work that establishes a discussion within and around the conflicting territories of institutional authority and cultural gentrification. In this regard Kantor\u2019s work investigates the revolutionary and scientific aspects of artistic practices that attempt to surpass the conventional models of creative experience.
\nIstvan Kantor is Hungarian-born, Toronto-based artist. Recent and upcoming solo exhibitions include: Monty Cantsin Was Here, Jogja National Museum, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, febr\/2011; Made in Estonia, installation, Tallinn, may\/2011; Selected works, St.Istvan Museum, Szekesfehervar, Hungary, oct\/nov 2011 Upcoming group exhibitions include: Interakcje Festival, Piotrkow, Poland, may\/2011; WRO Biennale, Wroclaw, Poland, may\/2011<\/p>\n
