“Redrawing the Lines” presents works by artists Matei Bejenaru, Irina Botea Bucan, and Dani Ghercă that reflect on their country’s post-communist transition, with a focus on the political and socio-economic changes brought about by Romania’s accession to the EU.
About
While the artists respond to the specificities of Romania becoming a capitalist global democracy through humourous and critical approaches, the exhibition invites the audience to consider these works for their universality and to revisit them in the context of pivotal current events: the war in Ukraine, the rise of nationalist movements and of far-right ideologies around the globe, the cost of living and energy crises, among others. Matei Bejenaru’s installation works put into question the constructions of language and capitalist production, while Dani Ghercă sheds light on living conditions and social infrastructures through his photographs. Irina Botea Bucan’s video works critically examine identity politics and propose gestures of resistance and hope. This exhibition asks: which lines are we committed to preserving, and what future lines do we wish to draw?
