Zoom-in on Romanian artists

The Art Encounters Foundation launches the fourth edition of the Art Encounters Biennial and organizes the event Zoom in on Romanian Artists, which will take place between the 25th and the 30th of January, online on Facebook and on the Art Encounters website. The audience will get to know the curators of the Biennial, Mihnea Mircan and Kasia Redzisz, and some of the invited artists: Flaviu Cacoveanu, Alice Gancevici & Remus Pușcariu, Mihaela Hudrea, Nona Inescu, MONOTREMU, Vlad Nancă, Flaviu Rogojan.

The curators will focus on new perspectives on the Romanian and regional artistic scene, which will be visible through the works commissioned for this edition, and the dynamic program of online and offline discussions as an extension of their remote curatorial research. These events will start with the project Zoom in on Romanian Artists and will continue until the opening of the exhibitions on the 1st of October, and throughout the Biennial, until the 14th of November.

Exclusively held online, in conjunction with the National Culture Day and supported by the Romanian Ministry of Culture, the 6 days dedicated to the event will be alternating Romanian and English presentations of young artists from Romania and diaspora. The project aims at opening up a platform of dialogue, while stressing the role of the artist in the cultural ecosystem in Romania when we talk about the National Culture Day.
