I will start with the new exhibition at Catinca Tăbăcaru Gallery @catincatabacaru gallery – Have No Doubt of the Omnipotence of a Free People (curated by Raphael Guilbert). It is a research project, publication and exhibition. And I will explain…. In the main space of the gallery (Calea Giulești) the exhibition is embarks on a critical re-examination of the under-explored relationship between Romania and Zimbabwe from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. At the center of Have No Doubt of the Omnipotence of a Free People lies a generational dialogue between artists working during the 1960s–1980s and their contemporary counterparts in Romania and Zimbabwe. Their practices – ranging across painting, sculpture, film, performance, installation, and archival reconstruction – do not illustrate history in a didactic sense.

The satellite of this exhibition will continue at Point Hub – in total more than 60 artists from Romania & Zimbabwe. 

The third exhibition – the beautiful new space of Jecza Gallery in Bucharest (@jecza_gallery) – with the “Fractal Topologies of the Infinite. Constantin Flondor in Dialogue with Mirel Vieru”. This exhibition stages a conversation between two artist of different ages and sensibilities, yet complementary in their ways of investigating the dynamics and complex geometries that reproduce, on a human scale, the intrinsic order of the universe. 

Sandwich Gallery – The Fantastic Belt – at Neurohope Hospital (in collaboration with Pharmakon Gallery (READ here about the future of the art). The Fantastic Belt presents a constellation of works across painting, realism, abstraction, conceptual practices, and digital media, exploring what we might call the Vampire Renaissance: a rebirth that feeds on past lives to sustain the present. Over 20 artists (from Romania, China, UK, Denmark, Nederland) are here to surprise. (Exhibition curated by Christian Roncea & Zhou Yi). @sandwich.gallery @pharmakon_gallery. 

Ecaterina Vrana – The Art of Being Alive – at Kulterra Gallery @kulterragallery. It is a retrospective exhibition of the artist presented by Galeria Kulterra x Galeriile Rădulescu. Ecaterina Vrana’s work is a confession without words, a visual diary of existence, written in shades that speak where language fails. This retrospective brings together works from all stages of her creative life – from the energy and playfulness of her early years to the fragility and introspection of her final canvases. Together, they form the biography of a woman who turned vulnerability into strength, and pain into light.

Collage Art Festival – The theme of this years’ edition, The New 20’s, draws a parallel between the 1920s, when collage established itself as a form of avant-garde and artistic courage, and present, which is experiencing another type of avant-garde, one of reconstruction. The exhibition includes more than 100 artists, each with a distinct vision of collage and the fragmented reality in which we live – from Italy, Spain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, but also from Japan, the United States, and Latin America. Analog collage, digital collage, mixed media, installation, textile collage, or even hybrid formats that combine visual art with performance and sound.
