Social Cooking Romania


You are cordially invited to the press preview on Friday 14 December at 11am.

Artistic and theoretical works address the issue of developments in
Romanian society by focussing on the subject of "food". The
conjunction of art and food or nutrition offers the possibility of
analysing everyday life and lifestyles as well as social and political
contexts. The focus here lies on the years after the political
turnaround in 1989, the fall of the "Iron Curtain", and the
developments connected to it - until January 2007 when the country
acceded to the EU.

Participating artists:
Auditorium, Matei Bejenaru, Raluca C. E. Blidar, Geta Brătescu,
Candida TV, Ulrike Ettinger, Constantin Flondor, M.A.N. Florian, Ion
Grigorescu, Iosif KirĂĄly, Katharina Koch, Aurelia Mihai, Olivia
Mihălţianu, Dan Mihălţianu, Nita Mocanu, Ciprian Mureşan, Vlad Nancă,
Ştefan Rusu, subREAL, Joanne Richardson, Patricia Teodorescu

The exhibition brings together artistic positions related to food,
nourishment and alimentation in the social context from the early 90s
to the present, from the closed society of the Ceausescu regime to the
transition towards the open society of the post-communist era in
Romania.

It also pays tribute to several artists active since the 60s, who have
made an important contribution to the development of Romanian art up
to recent times: Geta Bratescu, Constantin Flondor and Ion Grigorescu.
Another important aspect for the evolution of the art scene in Romania
is the position of the Generation '80 .

Artists like Mircea Florian, Calin Dan, Iosif Kiraly and Dan
Mihaltianu have constantly practiced an artistic discourse connected
to the new media: sound, installation, performance, video and
photography.
