(see more on http:// www.skanzen.hu) NEW TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS BUDAPEST From Chaos to Order - from Garbage to Art - from Impersonal to Intimate Ludwig Museum September 16 - October 26, 2003 Thanks to Rebecca Major's Lost Objects - gloves - become found objects. Found objects that grow into hermeneutic packages during the course of an exhibit as the visitors' add their comments. Each glove, recorded on a photograph, induces a surplus of stories. The "glove", as a clothing item, bears the stamp of a personality, it carries the abandoned state of its owner's character and permits a glimpse into a phase of a life. The deciphering of an enigma creates multiple worlds as interactive stories unfold for the spectator. „This project has been a three-year experiment. By carrying a point and shoot pocket camera with me at all times I was able to compile a comprehensive collection of images of lost gloves shot primarily in New York City. The act of collection bordering of compulsion denotes a means of measuring time. The act of collection may be a way of recording history however small the event may seem. The work also deals with death, decay and the organic and tractable nature of the human presence; adding a sense of vulnerability to the otherwise impenetrable urban environment." (Rebecca Major) Rebecca Major, like all other participants of the project room's 2003 programme entitled „Platforms of Desire: The Urban Scene and its Discontents," will work on site in the first phase of the exhibition and create the final stage of the exhibition by the end of September in cooperation with the poet Orsolya Karafiáth and others. Rebecca Major was bom in 1971 in Budapest, and lives in New York since 1979. She got her degree from the Pratt Institute where she majored in painting. She has participated in many solo and group exhibitions in the USA. She had a Hungarian exhibition at the Mai Manó Gallery of the House of Hungarian Photography in May of 2001.
