The project will bring new visitors to Church Street and encourage them to find out about the area and various changes over the past 20-30 years and compare these changes with those that have taken place at a similar high street in Pecs, Hungary, which is a European Capital of Culture this year.
The Anatomy of a Street project seeks to examine city development strategies through the eyes of locals, as well as architects, designers, photographers and performers, said curator of the project Eszter Steierhoffer.
The exhibition will feature Péter Rákosi?s window display photos, Miklós Surányi?s documentation of a specific subculture of artists and musicians? hangouts in the area, a small-scale sculptural installation by Katarina Sevic. There will be contributions by London-based Bahbak Hashemi-Nezhad, a map of ?power network? visualization in the form of a copper engraving by Albert Adam, works by the 1000% design group and showing of documentaries by Alan Siegel of new building sites in Pécs.
During the focus weekend a thematic publication, the Atlas will launch alongside the performance of Gabo Bartha, a food activist from Budapest.
