From static From static oblivion, an artbook in line with Avarie’s previous work space or space of daily experience: Grigorescu’s act of oblivion publications, aims to deepen, starting from Ion Grigorescu’s dissidence is not an outcry of provocation, nor is it extreme rich artistic production, the reflection about the status of the or ostentatious; it is an anti-aesthetic operation which uses image as a balance of forces in tension (statics), as form and experimentation and rough or limited techniques to uncover Ion Grigorescu design of what is in continuous movement (rhythm) and as the fiction of art and to denounce the artifice of representation, a paradoxical act of cancellation of the body through its own leaving us with the ambiguity between truth and falsehood, representation (oblivion). not only within the process of creation, but also within society. There is no trespass, Grigorescu’s performances are part of In Grigorescu’s work, as in the book, the body is continually an ongoing and “contained” interrogation of the relationship shown in different ways - from photography to film, from between the body and the space which the book is trying to performance to drawing - and yet it remains absent, match with the choice of its images whose measured surface suspended, obscuring its own identity in an attempt to tries to “keep inside” all that’s possible: the composition question the collective one. The persistent use of the mirror appears dense yet fluid, “cursive”, though never imposing. not only reflects the need to escape the solitude of his own body and to find the other in the multiplication of points of The body of Ion Grigorescu runs (through) the entire book: view, but it comes from the necessity to objectify the only like a line that gradually takes on volume, it transforms itself material that is available to him.

Moving Images in Romanian Critical Art Practice and Recent History
MOVING IMAGES IN ROMANIAN CRITICAL ART PRACTICE AND RECENT HISTORY Mihaela Brebenel Goldsmiths, University of London PhD Media and Communications, 2016 .1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. .2 Acknowledgements It is perhaps commonplace to say that a doctoral research is a journey. Nevertheless, I have only come to understand that this research project has been both a personal journey and an academic one in the final stages of writing, when paradoxically, there was little time for reflection. The time that unfolded between the moment when I was writing a tentative research proposal and the moment I am now in has been intense, incredible, invaluable and rewarding. I am convinced that I would have not experienced either of these without the support, attentive consideration and incredibly fruitful conversations with my supervisor, Dr. Pasi Väliaho. I started this journey under the auspices of his encouragements and could not have carried through without his relentless belief in my academic abilities. I would also like to acknowledge the support and inspiring encounters with Dr. Rachel Moore, always surprising and always refreshing. In different stages of this research, she has acted as a mentor and reader of my work, at the same time showing an empowering collegial attentiveness to my ideas. An extended thank you goes to Prof. Sean Cubitt and Prof. Julian Henriques, for their general support within the Media and Communications department, their suggestions made for various versions of the text and their encouragement to experiment across-disciplines and with methods. This research would not have been possible without the funding received from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the research exhibition in New Delhi, India would not have happened without the AHRC International Placement Scheme and Fellowship at Sarai CSDS.

A Fiery Splash in the Rockaways and Twists on Film at the Whitney
ART & DESIGN A Fiery Splash in the Rockaways and Twists on Film at the Whitney By ROBIN POGREBIN MAY 26, 2016 Japan Society Show When the Turner Prize-winning artist Simon Starling was preparing the piece he would exhibit at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art five years ago, he learned about masked Japanese Noh theater, which inspired W. B. Yeats’s 1916 play, “At the Hawk’s Well.” Now Mr. Starling is building on that project with “At Twilight,” his first institutional show in New York and a rare solo exhibition at Japan Society that features a non-Japanese artist. It is also the first exhibition by Yukie Kamiya, Japan Society’s new gallery director, who used to be chief curator at the Hiroshima museum. The show is organized with the Common Guild of Glasgow, which will present Mr. Starling’s version of the Yeats play in July. Mr. Starling said that he was intrigued by the idea of masked theater, “where nobody is who they appear to be.” Pogrebin, Robin, “A Fiery Splash in the Rockaways and Twists on Film at the Whitney”, The New York Times (online), May 26, 2016 The Grand Tour: Simon Starling 19 Mar 2016 - 26 Jun 2016 Nottingham Contemporary presents Turner Prize-winner Simon Starling’s largest exhibition in the UK to date. The exhibition will include a new artwork developed in collaboration with Not- tingham Trent University, of which Starling is an alumnus and a number of Starling’s major proj- ects, most of which have not been presented in Britain before.

“REVOLUTIONS RELOADED Werkstatt Rumänien” May 10Th - Jun
p r o g r a m www.pushthebuttonplay.com march 2005 edition “REVOLUTIONS RELOADED werkstatt rumänien” May 10th - Jun. 5th, 2004 On Monday, May 10, 2004 play_gallery for still and motion pictures in Berlin is opening Revolutions Re- loaded. This exhibition is dedicated to the present Romanian artistic scene and is the result of a collabora- tion with the MNAC (National Museum of Contemporary Art) of Bucharest. Curated by Marco Scotini and Mihnea Mircan (curator of the MNAC in Bucharest), the aim of this exhibi- tion is to present a selection of the top exponents of recent generations of Romanian artists, through a temporary picture and video archive. It takes place 15 years after the fall of communism in the Eastern European block, at a time in which the importance of the 1989 events seems strongly reduced, if not a remote past. Revolutions Reloaded is not limited to a plain post-communist cartography. It tries to focus on the contra- dictory spaces and the growing disparities of this very real “laboratory of the European future” in which the conflicts between different historical times and different resources coexist within the state of transition from the “welfare” condition to the new-liberal system. Revolutions Reloaded aims in fact to be a sort of database of Romanian artists’ political reactions. A politically oriented art, not defined geographically, which finds a more vulnerable and realistic terrain here, in the impact with globalisation. The “revolutions” to which the title alludes are the sign of diverse ways in which emergency can be faced, freedom is un- derstood, democracy is prepared and Romanian reality after the Revolution of 1989 is registered.

Ostalgia,” a Survey Devoted to Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Republics
TEL +1 212.219.1222. FAX +1 212.431.5326. newmuseum.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 18, 2011 PRESS CONTACTS: Gabriel Einsohn, Communications Director [email protected] Andrea Schwan, Andrea Schwan Inc. [email protected] New Museum to Present “Ostalgia,” a Survey Devoted to Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Republics Multi-floor Exhibition Will Be on View from July 14–September 25, 2011 New York, NY… This summer, the New Museum will present “Ostalgia,” an exhibition that brings together the work of more than fifty artists from twenty countries across Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Republics. Contesting the format of a conventional geographical survey, the exhibition will include works produced by Western European artists who have depicted the reality and the myth of the East. “Ostalgia” is curated by Massimiliano Gioni, Associate Director and Director of Exhibitions with Jarrett Gregory, Assistant Curator, and will be on view at the New Museum from July 14 through September 25, 2011, occupying all four gallery floors and the lobby. The exhibition takes its title from the German word ostalgie, a term that emerged in the 1990s to describe a sense of longing and nostalgia for the era before the collapse of the Communist Bloc. Twenty years ago, a process of dissolution began, leading to the break-up of the Soviet Union and of many other countries that had been united under communist governments.

Against appearances , addresses the fundamental proposals of our gallery project. Departing from a certain skepticism, the selected works are based on practices that criticize artistic mediums, the representation of reality and the languages which, from the art world and the media, codify our society. The art object thus takes on a double role as both a social product integrated into a productive medium, such as the arts, and a platform for criticizing these productions. Strategically using the ambiguity of images and sounds, the works question structural systems such as the control of the imaginary, information and environmental sound, the use and production of violence, the rigidity of certain categories, the control of knowledge or the excess of external stimuli. The exhibition invites the observer to construct dialogues among the artists, as well as between the artists and the mediums they work in. Mark Geffriaud | Herbarium | Slide projector and pages framed in Plexiglas. Herbarium is a reflection on the institutionalization of culture and the task of cataloguing knowledge. Using what could be considered a paradigmatic example of an archiving task: the herbarium, the spectator’s attention is directed towards the illuminated reverse of the pages. In this manner, it emphasizes what selection processes and hierarchies devalue: all those things that disappear for lacking institutional worth.

Romanian Art in the Period of “Diversionist Liberalisation” Daria Ghiu*
Studies in Visual Arts and Communication - an international journal Vol. 7, No 1 (2020) on-line ISSN 2393-1221 Romanian Art in the Period of “Diversionist Liberalisation” Daria Ghiu* Abstract The present text briefly maps the officially presence of Romanian art in international exhibitions of the 1960s. It focuses on major art events held in the West, in particular the large-scale exhibitions at which nations are represented: the Venice Biennale, the Milan Decorative Art Triennale, the São Paulo Biennale, the Paris Biennale, and the Lausanne Tapestry Biennale, on graphic art events, and on the case of Richard Demarco and his interest in Romanian art. What is noteworthy is the recurrence of the names of a number of artists among those taking part in exhibitions and likewise the recurrence of certain collocations in the studies that accompanied the exhibitions and the creation of a discursive typology. The concept of “official” becomes a split concept, placed in-between what is exhibited abroad and how it is presented in the written discourse. Keywords: Venice Biennale, Romanian art, conceptualism, decorative arts, photography. The present text aims briefly to map the the Soviet Gulag, led to the elimination of the officially sanctioned presence of Romanian art in inter-war political class, the decapitation of the international exhibitions of the 1960s. I have intellectual élite, the annihilation of a large focused on major art events held in the West, in number of clergymen, and in general, the particular the large-scale exhibitions at which silencing of anybody who might oppose the nations are represented: the Venice Biennale, establishment of the “people’s democracy.” In the Milan Decorative Art Triennale, the São Paulo the early years, the new power was to control Biennale, the Paris Biennale, and the Lausanne the whole of society, including the arts, Tapestry Biennale, on graphic art events, and on permitting only a single form of artistic the case of Richard Demarco and his interest in expression, in a language “to the understanding Romanian art.
