You have to fight for this exhibition, because it is on the outskirts of the city, it would be difficult to get here without a BKV pass, but even so it is difficult. However, if we have already gotten off the HÉV in Szentendre at Békásmegyer, we are right there in the Békásmegyer Community Hall, and we can cast our eyes on the Rada rosse and the nesting hell, and we can even see what the sight is like when we are below us. In the small exhibition called the Exhibition of Non-Existent Objects, we can trace the embodiment of our old and well-known hotel words here.

A placc

In addition to the exhibition, the entrance ticket also includes time travel, at least in the early nineties we can feel the unadulterated milieu of the cultural center, ice cream moms, running purdahs and loudly joking info counters. There is no sign of the exhibition, we ask where it is, and the nice girl points behind us: the objects have been placed on five tables with green tablecloths and on the row of windows in the foyer of the community center. All of this was fenced off with a green ribbon cordon, so the design cannot be said to be overly exclusive or demanding.

Take five tables, set them, put objects on them, and an exhibition will be created!

This is only enhanced by the greenhouse climate created by the scorching sun, the hot stuff, but at least someone is playing the piano in one of the rooms, so there is some musical background. It is also a negative (although it may just be our fault) that we did not find information about the artists and the works, only the titles of the individual installations are pasted in Hungarian and English. The latter can cause some confusion for English-speakers, since instead of a literal mirror translation (otherwise, of course, correctly) the relevant similar, mostly apt, English expressions have been added to the captions. This way, however, a British person can look at a big picture when he sees, for example, the work "Worm stuck in a tree", in which, belying the English title "A rat in a trap", there is no sign of a rat, but there is a tree branch with a painted plastic tube in it.

Do you understand?

Non-existent objects are brought to life in an intentionally naive style, as voluntary amateur DIY objects, many of them can be said to be quite childish. Next to the worm stuck in the tree, we can find the iron tooth of time, the writer's vein, the Rada rosseb (Made in Rada) and a screw that has been loosened. One would like to ask the little girl standing next to her, winking at her, "Eeeeeee for you?!", and since the works depict the promises very literally and literally, the little girl would most likely answer yes.

Several works are simple plaster casts, some installations, but simple readymades are also available. The masterpiece "I am under myself" (a mirror placed horizontally above a person's head) cannot be directly approached from the sofas over there, but in "Horse death" (a pair of horse sausages) it is directly relevant. The much-mentioned Rada rosseb is a very inventive little work, although it reminds me a bit of the price tag-eating monster of one of the supermarket chains, but to be fair, it was made much earlier than the advertising campaign. The works were created by three people, the musician and puppeteer Mihály Buzás, the actor and game master Zoltánhoz Zugmann and the set designer of the Hungarian Operetta Theater Erzsébet Túri on the occasion of the 55th Hungarian Independent Film Festival in 2008, since then you can catch them here and there from time to time. Right here now.

Let's say it: this is the Copper Owl

We recommend them

Strictly go to this exhibition with children, very young ones, so that we can easily introduce them to the rich visual world of Hungarian verbal culture, expand their vocabulary with classic idioms, and instill in them some sensitivity to absurd humor. We may have to improvise only with the Copper-censored owl.
