Masha Starec created her interactive work for the #Bartók exhibition in 2016. In the original work, we could switch between the projected images, which presented the important moments of the artist’s life in an autobiographical way, by pressing the buttons of an old radio. Among the photos, a green sofa kept recurring, which got from the birthplace of Béla Bartók in Szentmiklós to the home of the artist’s family, since Masha Starec was related to the famous composer (her grandfather was Bartók’s nephew). She also referred to the composer with the radio on display, as radio broadcasts became more and more widespread in Bartók’s time; Bartók himself gave several radio concerts. In January 2017, the artist died unexpectedly. The version of the work shown here was reconstructed for the exhibition with the help of the artist’s co-creator Max Willis, but this version does not contain all the elements of the original work, only the photographs taken at the scene of the artist’s childhood in Belgrade and their animated version. Through her family, the artist encountered many cultural influences in her childhood (Slovenian, Italian, Serbian, Hungarian, and German). Despite the cultural blending, the moves and the wars, Bartók’s furniture – as a sure point – remained in the apartment and reminded her of the importance of childhood influences. Zsófia Sugár
