Anatomy of a Street is an on-going research project portraying epicenters of an accelerated urban transformation: two examples of the ‘high street’ from Pécs and Budapest in comparison with Church street in Paddigton (London).

Focusing on urban development and regeneration , the project explores the fluidly changing relationship of the public, the private and the corporate; the interactions of the top-down and bottom-up organizational processes thematically through mapping local communities, migration, gentrification, local businesses and industries, food production and contribution as well as diverse traditions and new cultural enterprises. Based on an international and interdisciplinary platform, Anatomy of a Street attempts to connect different discursive fields and disciplines as well as networks belonging to different geographical locations, cultures and histories between eastern and western Europe after the cold war.

The exhibition unfolds along Church Street in the shop windows and market stall, and includes photography, film, urban interventions as well as performances by artists, activists and architects: Albert Ádám, Gabó Bartha, Bahbak Hashemi-Nezhad, Emőke Kerekes & Anna Mózes, Péter Rákosi, Allan Siegel, Miklós Surányi, Szövetség39 (Anna Baróthy & Csenge Kolozsvári) and screenings by no.w.here in collaboration with The Edgware Road Project - Free Cinema School of the Serpentine Gallery.
