585,000 m2
A Mixed Media Exhibition on the History and Present of the Jewish Quarter of Budapest
WhiteBox | 329 Broome Street New York NY 10002, April 7–21, 2016
585,000 m2 proposes a dialogue about the symbolic spaces found in the Jewish Quarter of the 7th district in Budapest through visual art statements from the pre-World War 2 period to the present. The title is a reference to the surface area of the Quarter, a dense urban neighborhood overflowing with signifiers of cultural, religious and social life. Nine buildings were selected to explore three important aspects of Jewish life: the sacred spaces, public places and local businesses.
