5 exhibitions to see in August 2021

Young artists with a unique style, an unconventional installation, an exhibition underlying an important statement, some nice sport memories from the past and a cool collective study of the landscape: these are 5 exhibitions to see this month. 

1. Galateca @galateca

“Sound of silence” is the latest exhibition signed by the young artists Sabina Legănaru and Kira Hagi, a paradox explored by the artists. Their visual practice and the aesthetic approach are different, but is is so obvious, for both, a certain tendency towards a deep exploration of the self. For Sabina Legănaru, these searches are represented by a series of interesting and touching painting, while Kira Hagi exposes a visual diary of four years of her life. (Curator: Andreea Sandu; 22 of July – 21 of August 2021) – www.galateca.ro 

2. Triumf Amiria – Zina Gallery, Cluj-Napoca – @triumf.amiria, @zinagallery_zg

Zina Gallery is hosting, these days, under the name “TRIUMPH AMIRIA: MUSEUM WORKINGS” a cluster of solo exhibitions: “Triumf Amiria Love Letter to Veda Popovici”- about activism, political imagination and radical fragility, “Triumf Amiria Love Letter to Mihai Mihalcea”- about disobedient bodies that short-circuit the public space and pantheons of consumerism, “Triumph Amiria Love Letter to Irina Bujor” – about empathy, fluid identities and dreamy futures. Plus, a group exhibition “Change-Exchange”, built around themes such as affirmative synonyms for identities that evade singular definitions, the condition of the artist / curator, queer bodies, through participatory works proposed by Jasmina Al-Qaisi, Apparatus 22 and Georgiana Dobre & Kjersti Vetterstad. 
Basically, Zina Gallery in Cluj (https://zinagallery.com) is, this month, an extension of the Queer Culture Museum (Curator – Kilobase Bucharest) – www.triumfamiria.ro
