[oberlist] Dear Money book launch / Friday, 19 December, 18.00 / Carturesti Verona

[Salonul de proiecte]

Salonul de proiecte invites you on Friday, 19 December, 18.00, at Carturesti Verona book shop, at the launch of the book Dear Money. The Dear Money project was inspired by a work of artist Marina Albu and consists of forty contributions submitted by artists with whom the curatorial programme Salonul de proiecte had worked until 2013. The works tackle the relationship between art and money from various angles, through the perspective of some of the most relevant Romanian artists working today. The project also provides the opportunity to look back on Salonul de proiecte’s activity, a program that functions within The National Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest. The theoretical texts by Bogdan Ghiu, Michael Baers and Suzana Milevska re-dimension these contributions to a certain extent, projecting them onto the backdrop of complex, current, urgent debates concerning the global crisis of the capitalist system. The project presentation texts are written by Diana Ursan.
