The conceptual 70s works of Decebal Scriba relate to a history of art that has only recently started being uncovered in Romania. Furtive performative actions in Eastern Europe are part of a self-archiving artistic process through which the document becomes the subjective voice in the dark spot of memory, skipping through time in different meanings and other re-reated/retrieved realities. Decebal Scriba’s The Gift installation throws light upon the onceptual isolation of his work during the repressive Romanian communist regime in the 1970s, furthered in time by the unseen, unread history of art that he is a part of.
