DUBLĂ EXPUNERE
Focusing on female voicesDUBLĂ EXPUNERE is a project that brings together visual art and writing. This initiative, ongoing until 2025, involves a collaboration between 10 female visual artists and 10 female writers. Each writer will develop a short story inspired by a contemporary artwork, which will be published in a hybrid catalogue. Alongside its written and visual content, the project will include a series of podcast episodes, public events featuring the artists and writers, and a concluding exhibition. Supported by BCR, this initiative aims to explore how art and writing complement each other, fostering new understandings of contemporary culture.

Roman Tolici about REALPOLITIK
for PropagartaRead moreI started working on this series three years ago, when the world was fighting against the pandemic. The moment generated in me the impulse to take a closer look at the absconding mechanisms of the political system.

Roman Tolici for Scena9
By ANDRA MATZALRead articleAD: Lucrezi mai mereu așa, pornind de la fotografii?
RT: Da. Când fac poze, mă gândesc că le fac pentru o documentare, că nu pot să inventez eu. Pot să și inventez, dar nu are același efect cu ce se întâmplă, de fapt, pe o plajă. Ce fac oamenii la plajă? Când îi vezi pe sus pe fiecare, cum unul se scarpină, unu-și pune ceva-n cap, unul merge, unii vorbesc, altul doarme, alții citesc sau își fac selfie-uri…

Saddo for DIGI24
By Elena TănaseSee articleSaddo: Ideea de a face o serie întreagă sau o expoziţie întreagă bazată pe hip-hop culture vine din faptul că ascult tot timpul hip-hop. Mă gândeam că muzica e mult mai directă şi cum ar fi să fac un fel de play-list vizual, o colecţie cu toţi rap-erii care îmi plac mie. Să vezi detalii din piesele lor şi din albume. Dacă cunoşti artistul îți vin în minte fragmente din piese. Și cumva fiecare titlu al lucrării va fi un quot, un citat dintr-o piesă de la fiecare.

Andrei Gamarț for Scena 9
By Ionuț DulămițăRead articleI.D.: De ce alegi culorile astea care par angoasante, care te comprimă într-o stare de reverie şi de stranietate?
A.G: Mie îmi place jocul de lumini şi umbre şi atunci pun accentul pe tonurile astea luminoase şi întunecate, pe umbră şi lumină, pe contraste. Cred că cel mai bine pot transmite în tonalităţile astea, pot să creez o tensiune acolo, în pânză. Pentru mine e important ca lucrarea să fie foarte intensă, să nu te lase indiferent. Am avut o perioadă în care pictam cu mai multă culoare. Pe parcurs, am pierdut o anumită inocenţă, dar ţine de perioadă, nu ştii când se întoarce.

Exhibition Review - Cheerleader for a funeral
By Ioana Gabriela CherciuRead ReviewUpon entering the exhibition room, you see a work suggestively titled Du-te-n pizda mătii [literally “go into your mom’s pussy,” meaning “fuck you”]: the female genital organ is shown in its totality, the open legs reveal a faceless body, and the clitoris is engulfed in flames. Further on, a series of small works set next to each other like a mosaic show characters in various sex positions.
