Organized by OSA Archives, the exhibition entitled Subjective Budapest Map was built on two tracks. Out of the forty-two works submitted to the competition, which was announced in the Spring of 2010, twelve were admitted to the second round by a panel of expert judges. To reinforce the concept, the organizers added some further, earlier-made works to the selection: based on, or related to, maps or urban networks, these, too, recorded the artists’ reactions to the changes of the past two decades. Many of the works have raised problems of great social sensitivity: an experiment in data visualization regarding the political map of post-socialist monuments; an audio map for blind and visually impaired people; the city seen through the eyes of drug dealers; and the visualization of temporary spaces. The competition organizers primarily hoped to receive works addressing the functions of the city, the urban spaces, the everyday life of the inhabitants, their memories, the dynamism of the transformation, the changes, and the hidden interconnections.
The exhibition will be opened by J. A. Tillmann, philosopher, MOME.
The prizes for the competition, offered by Nav N Go, will be presented.
