Gergely László is member of the artist duo Tehnica Schweiz.
The artist duo Tehnica Schweiz (Gergely László and Péter Rákosi) have been collaborating since 2004. They are interested in stories, buildings, locations and communities with a relation to cultural identity. Their research-based ‘conservation’ work is more than a mere analysis of the patterns of collective memory: in the course of diverse collaborative creative processes, they make attempts at playful recollection.
They have exhibited and performed within international institutions such as 21er Haus Vienna, Archive Cabinet Berlin, Biennale d’art contemporain in Rennes, ISCP New York, Kiscell Museum Budapest, Le 19 Crac Mobtbéliard, Kunsthaus Dresden, Secession Vienna, Witte de With Rotterdam, Jewish Museum New York, Kunsthalle, Budapest, Ernst Museum Budapest, NBK Berlin, MSUV -  Museum of Contemporary Art Novi Sad , Rennes Biennale, OFF-Biennale Budapest.

Tehnica Schweiz: (Gergely László és Péter Rákosi):
The Blue Room
 
The Blue Room is aimed at the re-examination of our relation to architectural and material cultural heritage, merging two stories: on the one hand, the story of the Hungarian Museum of Fine Arts’ 19thcentury plaster cast collection of antique sculptures, and on the other hand, that of the 18th century synagogue of Tata, which served to house the exhibition of life-size copies of antique sculptures for more than forty years.
The Blue Room comprises a film and an installation at the former synagogue. In the film, conservation specialists are seen detaching the plaster sculptures from their pedestals before disjointing and boxing them to be hauled away. The building is gradually evacuated, only to be occupied anew by a group of art students who transform the space into an atelier to craft small porcelain copies of the antique sculptures, giving rise to an entirely new collection from the accurate miniature replicas of the plaster copies.
