Timeline

: Matei Bejenaru works with photography, video, performance and inter-media installations, in long-term projects that explore both the poetics of imagery, as well as the social, documentary aspect of social shifts during the last three decades in Romania. Matei Bejenaru's works were part of important exhibitions in events and institutions such as Tate Modern London,49th Venice Biennial Venice, Museum Europäischer Kulturen, Berlin;The Drawing Room London, Taipei Biennial, Taiwan; Athens Biennial, Futura Art Center Prague and Prague Biennial 3, NGBK Berlin, Ludwig Museum, Budapest,The National Museum of Contemporary Art. His artistic commitment to reflect the post-communist condition by experimenting with social practices of art, has gradually developed towards an analysis of the medium of photography, of the possibilities to communicate within it through a visual language, while being considerate of the ethics of representation and agency of others. He is the founder of Periferic Biennial in Iasi, Romania. Established in 1997 as a performance festival, Periferic transformed into an international artist-run contemporary art biennial defined as a platform for discussions on the historical, socio-political, and cultural contexts of the city. With a group of artists and philosophers from Iasi, Bejenaru founded the Vector Association in 2001, a contemporary art institution that supported the local emerging art scene to become locally and internationally visible. Together with a group of artists and professor he founded in 2015 the Center of Contemporary Photography in Iasi and organizes the Camera Plus Biennial for Contemporary Photography
