‘caldarâm – picioare – în plin’ is the firing order with live ammunition used in December 1989 in Timișoara. The streets bridges and parks were full of people. Radu Grindei was always on the streets. He photographed and wrote so that no moment would be forgotten. He photographed people streets houses trees flags the sky fear silence the sound of gunshots and he wrote about everything.

Unveiling the traces of my own shadow presents a well curated collection of visual artists such as Ana Maria Ștefan, Szidonia Bandi , Cristina Chirila, Cristina Dimuș, Diana Oană, Moldovan Paul Darius, Luana Cloșca, Diana Popuț & Tania Șimonca each of whom, through painting, graphics, photography, sculpture and ceramics, embody the play of the „absent present”. 

In the current exhibition, this logic materializes in a new generation of artists who, through their practice, relate to the recent or distant history of art. The generational constancy through which a continuous flow of contemporary art, or, as it is now called, “super-contemporary” art, is produced, seems to be unstable, amplifying the palimpsest-like space of art. Thus, the fragment extracted from this “historical document” for the show contains the names of five emerging artists: Mihaela Coandă, Iulia Pușcașu, Kit Szász, Daniel Semenciuc, and Codruț Zele.

In preparation for Robert Andacs’ solo exhibition, I find myself thinking of Fernando Pessoa’s “Book of Disquiet”, essentially a collection of thoughts and reflections on life, often introspective in nature and focused heavily on solitude as refuge.

On view from December 22nd to February 26th 2023. The art featured in this exhibition draws us into the complex landscapes of human experience, guiding us through the intricate paths and struggles that shape our understanding of self. From the initial moments of self-awareness to the relentless pursuit of self-acceptance, the human journey unfolds in a constantly shifting array of forms. Bodies, with their diverse contours, reflect the intricate stories etched into our minds. Each curve, line, and mark bears witness to the multitude of challenges, victories, and transformations encountered on our individual paths.

Curated by Norbert Filep. On view from August 5th to September 12th 2023.. In an astronomical time, distant from any human conception, intangible and incomprehensible in the blueness of temporality, a point “floats” with its obsessive swiftness. Microscopic in appearance, extraordinarily hot and dense, it sneaks with a colossal speed that eludes any curiosity. The point contains the conglomerate for something new, fresh, with effervescent or enduring possibilities, with expandable valences and fragilities in a paradox controlled by a hidden force, stable and unstable, destructive and creative, constant and variable, white and black, material or anti-material.
