Setting up an exhibition, budgeting production, the exhibition as a project during uncertain times, deadlines, stress, specialized art transport. Exhibitions for private online tours, the art show as an emergency, the urgency of an art show now.
The group show focuses on the notion of the exhibition art-space and its network of collective efforts, desires and hopes, setbacks and ideals that it emerges from. The works of artists Matei Bejenaru, Oana Coșug, Larisa Crunțeanu, Sebastian Hosu, Adelina Ivan, Aurora Király, Iosif Király, Zoltán Béla allow a view in the liminal space between the artistic laboratory and existing critical statements of the art scene. The exhibition unveils the artistic process, or otherwise revisits earlier works turning a mirror inwards, to the limitations and possibilities of an art-space.
Unraveling the process of creating an art-show, we reflect on what it means to be an exhibition-maker in the current social and economic climate, notwithstanding the absurd and impossible challenges that can sometimes only be met with humour and dare.
As we look forward to reopening the gallery and receiving visitors, we re-evaluate the exhibition space – a playground / a space of both escapism and confrontation / a space of permutations and chance.
