Romanian Pavilion — Adrian Ghenie :: Darwin's Room
Adrian Ghenie represents Romania at the 56th International Art Exhibition — La Biennale di Venezia (9 May - 22 November 2015).
The Romanian Pavilion, curated by Mihai Pop, showcases Darwin’s Room, an exhibition of paintings by Adrian Ghenie organized across three rooms – according to the original interior architecture of the Pavilion (from 1938) – and comprises a specific theme for each of these rooms: The Tempest, The Portrait Gallery (Self-portrait as Charles Darwin), and The Dissonances of History.
Expanding upon Darwin's 'laboratory', Ghenie proposes an interpretive path into the notion of survival. He reads into the theory of biological evolutionism and the ways it has been skewed to transform societies. He also draws upon other historical sources in his updating of this image (fundamental to our self-perception), 'contaminating' it with a keen reflection on neoliberal competitiveness, extending across all areas and folds of social and affective life. Darwin's studio broadens its scope and becomes an incubator where future ideas grow and develop. It is an interweaving of past and future histories that does not hold proof or speculation on species evolution, which neither distorts nor idealizes, but opens a path towards a reformulation of the social values that structure contemporary existence. To equal extents, this returns to an essential moment, when epistemological tables were turned, and uses Darwin's scientific tabula rasa to project or inscribe a new image of our future.
Gazing into the future is premised on revisiting the past with a lucid eye, parsing through myths that accreted as foundation for the writing of history, of the fictions that define nations, of the fabricated narratives that fragment history into centres and peripheries, occupied respectively by winners and losers.
The exhibition is accompanied by Adrian Ghenie – Darwin’s Room, a book edited by Juerg Judin and Mihai Pop, and published by Hatje Cantz Verlag. The Romanian edition will be published by Editura Humanitas.
Adrian Ghenie (b. 1977, Baia Mare) belongs to a generation that has demonstrated its ability to lucidly reflect upon the difficult and often traumatic underpinnings of local histories. The use of a nuanced examination of how the contemporary is shaped by memory and desire, convulsion and spectacle, plays a central part in his work. Ghenie is, alongside other remarkable representatives of the same artistic community, one of the founders of the Paintbrush Factory in Cluj, which brings together some of the most dynamic artistic initiatives in Romania. Previous solo exhibitions include: Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Málaga (2015); Golems, Pace Gallery, London (2014); On the Road to… Tarascon, Plan B, Berlin (2013, with Navid Nuur); Pie-Fights and Pathos, Museum for Contemporary Art, Denver (2012); S.M.A.K. Museum, Ghent (2010); and The National Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest (2009). Previous group exhibitions include: I Will Go There, Take Me Home, MAC Belfast (2015); Six Lines of Flight, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (2012); Francis Bacon and the Existential Condition in Contemporary Art, Palazzo Strozzi, Florence (2012); European Travellers: Art from Cluj Today, Kunsthalle Mücsarnok, Budapest (2012); The Crystal Hypothesis, Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea Bergamo (2010); and the Liverpool Biennial (2008). The artist lives and works in Cluj and Berlin.

Mihai Zgondoiu / Fighting with Mozart! 2018
Mihai Zgondoiu
FIGHTING WITH MOZART!
interactive performance
June 14 - July 8, 2018

(Square Alexandru Lahovari no. 7, Bucharest)
Opening: June 14, 2018, 19.00
Curator: Răzvan Ion
A very fashionable item throughout Romanian homes 30 years ago, the rug representing “The Abduction from the Seraglio”, an opera by Mozart, turned nowadays into an old school symbol of contemporary kitsch. It was erased from the popular collective memory after ’89, making new space for the new consumerist products.
The interactive installation ‘Fight with Mozart’ consists of a boxing bag tapestried with this kind of rug representing “The Abduction from the Seraglio”, two boxing gloves tapestried as well, and a sound system playing fragments from the opera “Die Entführung aus dem Serail” (The Abduction from the Seraglio) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Thus, the viewer/participant can literary interact with the installation boxing to the music of Mozart. Mihai Zgondoiu
The duplicating mechanism of some objects relevant for the past seems a response to anxiety. An anxiety of the present projected on a past, suggested by objects which now appear to be irrelevant. Mihai Zgondoiu is an artist who chooses to analyse apparently ordinary aspects in order to lead us towards a sociological understanding of an era. Răzvan Ion
Mihai Zgondoiu (b.1982) is an artist, curator and gallerist, who holds a master's and a doctorate degree in the field of visual arts. Starting with 2014 he teaches at the National University of Arts in Bucharest at the Design Department. His artistic practice consists of a variety of genres and techniques, ranging from drawing, collage, experimental print to video installation, performances, and urban interventions. His projects recall critical thinking (as well as self-critical thinking) towards clichés in our current society, mocking its socio-cultural values and icons, which were created by the new media through different kind of fake news propaganda.
Among his most recent exhibitions and projects: EXTRAfaces, Galeria Uj Kriterion - Miercurea Ciuc 2017, Fight with Mozart, RKI - Vienna Contemporary (AT) 2017, New Wall - Calina Gallery Timisoara 2017, Dada Brancusi, MB-XL Gallery Bruxelles (BE) 2016 & Galateca Gallery – București 2016, The Artist's Golden Hand, FivePlus Gallery – Viena (AT) 2014 & Aiurart Gallery – Bucuresti 2013, Lenin's Sleep, Free Press Square – Bucuresti 2011, The Red Line, the National Dance Center of Bucureşti 2011, The Red Carpet, the Schlooss Museum courtyard – Linz, (AT) 2011, Freedom as Visual Pattern, Hampden Gallery - Incubator Art Space, Amherst, Massachusetts (USA) 2010, Me Matrix, Calina Gallery – Timisoara 2009, Me, Contemporary Art Gallery of the Brukenthal National Museum – Sibiu, 2008.

Muzeul Etnografic din Rimetea (Torockó), situat în clădirea Primăriei, este unic și are o importanță deosebită pentru-că el oglindește o lume dispărută, care acum nu mai există. La sfârșitul secolului al XIII-lea, în această zonă locuită de secui, au fost aduși meșteri austrieci pentru exploatarea minereului de fier și prelucrarea avansată a fierului. Localitatea a evoluat rapid, devenind foarte cunoscută prin produsele sale de fier, de o calitate deosebită, vândute în Transilvania și în Ungaria. Localitatea atinge apogeul în secolele XVII și XVIII, devenind un important centru meșteșugăresc, comercial dar și cultural. De-a lungul secolelor XIV - XIX s-a produs un metisaj cultural și etnografic unic între populația secuiască și cea germană, rezultând ceva aparte care nu este nici maghiar, nici german. Epuizarea minereului de fier în secolul al XIX-lea a dus și la decăderea completă a localității. Au rămas însă unice amintiri ....
The Rimetea (Torockó) Ethnographic Museum, located in the building of the Town Hall, is unique and has a special importance for that it mirrors a missing world that is no longer there. At the end of the 13th century, in this area inhabited by the Szeklers, Austrian craftsmen were brought in for the exploitation of iron ore and the advanced processing of iron. The locality evolved rapidly, becoming well-known by its iron products, of outstanding quality, sold in Transylvania and Hungary. The settlement reaches its apogee in the 17th and 18th centuries, becoming an important craftsmanship, commercial and cultural center. Throughout the 14th and 19th centuries, a unique cultural and ethnographic melting between the Szekler and the German population, resulting in something special that is neither Hungarian nor German. The depletion of iron ore in the 19th century led to the complete decline of the locality. But there are memories that remain....
Bertalan Por 拜爾陶隆·普爾 (1880-1964) Post-Impressionism Hungarian
tonykwk39@gmail.com
Bertalan Pór (1880–1964) was a Hungarian painter associated with the development of modernist Hungarian art. He was a member of The Eight, a movement among several Hungarian painters in the early twentieth century who represented the radical edge in Budapest. They introduced Fauvism, cubism, and expressionism to Hungarian art.
Born in Budapest in 1880 to a Hungarian Jewish family, Pór started drawing as a child. He was a student of László Gyulay in the School of Industrial Design in Budapest. Because the city had no art academy, many aspiring artists went to Munich, Bavaria to study, beginning in the second half of the nineteenth century. Pór was among them, studying with the German artist Gabriel von Hackl.
Later Simon Hollósy, who had taught some free classes in Munich, and other Hungarian artists who had studied there, founded their own center in 1896 at Nagybánya (present-day Baia Mare, Romania). Founding artists included István Réti, János Thorma, and Károly Ferenczy, often called the "Nagybánya artists' colony". Their collective energy strongly influenced the development of twentieth-century Hungarian art. Pór studied at Nagybánya with Hollósy for a short time.
In the early 20th century, Pór went to Paris, where he studied with Jean Paul Laurens at the Académie Julian. He returned to Hungary and began his career, becoming a popular portrait painter. He also worked as a fresco painter.
In 1909 Pór joined with The Eight, which had an exhibit New Pictures in Budapest that year. They first showed as The Eight in 1911, representing the advanced edge of Hungarian art culture. Others in the group were Károly Kernstok, Róbert Berény, Dezső Czigány, Béla Czóbel, Ödön Márffy, Dezső Orbán, and Lajos Tihanyi. Although the painters mounted only three shows together, they participated in events with new music and literature, and were influential through the First World War. They shaped modernist art in the country.
Pór and Kernstok especially adopted some of the ideas of the Fauvists and Cubists, as they were influenced by both German and French theories of the time. Pór "admired Ferdinand Hodler."
Paris was closed during the Great War to artists from "non-allied" nations. After the fall of the Hungarian Democratic Republic in 1919, Pór was one of the many artists who emigrated; he went to Czechoslovakia. He primarily painted landscapes and pictures of animals. During this period abroad, Pór also traveled to France, Italy, and the Soviet Union on artistic patronage.
He settled in Paris in 1938, where there were numerous other Hungarian émigrés in the artistic circles, including a younger generation. Tihanyi died in Paris that year, but he had introduced Pór to his young nephew, Ervin Marton, who had come to Paris in 1937 and whose work in photography Tihanyi encouraged.
During 1944–1946 after the Liberation of Paris, Pór worked with Marton and the writer György Bölöni on reorganizing the Hungarian House, a center for the émigré artistic community. Artists ran it cooperatively as a place to feature their works in contemporary art. Pór continued to be involved with the Hungarians in Paris.
In 1948, after the rise of the communist government in Hungary, Pór was offered a position in the Budapest Academy (what is now the Hungarian University of Fine Arts). He returned to the capital to teach. Except for travel, he remained there, teaching and painting, for the rest of his life.
The Hungarian National Gallery holds one of Por's oil self-portraits from the 1910s. The Museum of Modern Art in New York City has his 1919 lithograph, Világ Proletárjai Egyesüljetek! (Proletarians of the World, Unite!).
普爾培訓的主要階段是布達佩斯的模式繪畫學校，慕尼黑的學院和慕尼黑的SimonHollósy私立學校，以及1901年在巴黎的朱利安學院。回到匈牙利後，他加入了匈牙利印象派和自然主義者圈（MIÉNK）這是對保守派藝術採取立場，然後成為八國之一。他在第一次世界大戰期間準備了戰場圖紙，在匈牙利蘇維埃共和國期間設計了拉票海報，他積極地指導藝術生活。在崩潰之後，他流亡，經過布拉索夫，維也納，布拉格和華沙，然後在二十年代定居柏林。他於1938年至1948年間居住在巴黎，隨後訪問了俄羅斯。回到匈牙利後，他被任命為匈牙利美術學院的老師。

Muzeul Etnografic, situat vis-a-vis de Muzeul Ouălor Încondeiate, ne întroduce în lumea tradițiilor seculare care au dus faima comunei Ciocănești și au făcut din ea un reper turisitic esențial pe harta Bucovinei. Exponatele muzeului sunt distribuite în camere care reproduc activitățile de bază ale sătenilor și anume: atelier de tâmplărie, fierăria tradițională, stâna, plutăritul, atelier de țesătorie, bucătăria (gastronomie) și o cameră țărănească. Muzeul ne este prezentat de doamna muzeograf Marilena Niculiță care permanent ne atrage atenția asupra vechilor tradiții, dintre care multe încă se mai respectă în Ciocănești, asupra exponatelor funcționale (de exemplu un întreg atelier de țesătorie), a exponatelor reale care încă se folosesc în activitatea obișnuită (de exemplu cele de la stână) și la modul cum toate acestea sunt valorificate turistic. Ciocănești este singura localitate din țară unde ocazional (la Festivalul Păstrăvului) se mai practică plutăritul (în scop turisitic). În afară de Festivalul Păstrăvului (la începutul lunii august), amintit și care are o varietate foarte mare de activități specifice, comuna Ciocănești, deși nu este așa de mare, mai găzduiește încă două festivaluri tradiționale, și anume cel al Ouălor Încondeiate (în perioada Paștelui) și al tradițiilor din perioada Crăciun - Anul Nou. Prin casele și clădirile sale decorate cu modele luate de pe îmbrăcămintea tradițională și de pe ouăle încondeiate, Ciocăneștiul este o localitate rurală unică în România și probabil și cea mai frumoasă.
The Ethnographic Museum, situated vis-a-vis of Easter Painted Eggs Museum, introduces us to the world of secular traditions that have made the fame of Ciocanesti commune and have made it an essential tourist landmark on the map of Bucovina. The exhibits of the museum are distributed in rooms that reproduce the villagers' basic activities, namely: carpentry, traditional blacksmith, sheepfold, timber rafting, weaving workshop, the kitchen (gastronomy) and a peasant room. The museum is presented by the Mrs. museographer Marilena Niculita who constantly draws our attention to the old traditions, many of which are still respected in Ciocanesti, to the functional exhibits (eg a whole workshop of weaving), to the actual exhibits that are still used in the ordinary activity (for example those from the sheepfold) and how they are valorified for turist purposes. Ciocanesti is the only locality in the country where occasionally (at the Trout Festival) is practiced the timber rafting. In addition to the Trout Festival (in early August), having a very large variety of specific activities, Ciocanesti commune, although not so large, still hosts two traditional festivals, namely of the Easter Painted Eggs (during the Easter) and that of the Christmas - New Year traditions. Through its homes and its buildings decorated with patterns taken from traditional clothing and from Easter painted eggs, Ciocnesti is a unique rural locality in Romania and probably the most beautiful.

Activați subtitrarea în românește !
”The Museum of Folk Customs in Bucovina”, located in the center of the city Gura Humorului, reconstruct according to the calendar, the sequence of customs and traditions of Bucovina. Once we pay a small entrance fee (photography allowed) and see some traditional items, we go upstairs where the museum is organized in five halls. The first two rooms reconstruct winter traditions performed in authentic homesteads: the magical practices of the night of St. Andrew (November 30th), Christmas (December 24th) with carol singers and ritual dinner, New Year (December 31) with groups of waits and masked ugly. In the great next hall, following in the village street, we go through the dizzying habits and spring rituals of which notice a blacksmith representing February, dedicated to craftsmen who make agricultural tools purified by fire and then, by an archaic apiary, Alexii day (17 March) when the new apiar year begins and the insects revives. We see chariot and plow signifying all agrarian rituals accompanying drawing the first furrow at the beginning of March. Next door, dressed in authentic costumes from the nineteenth century, we see all the souls gathered in front of the village church, having in baskets covered by embroidered towels, Passover ritual dishes to be sanctified. Pastoral year begins to St. George (April 23) with numerous rituals, exemplified by vessels dairy adorned with spring flowers. To St. Elias (July 20th), in mid-summer pastoral, in the past were organized pastoral parties, celebrations of the sun worship, now transformed into fairs. Museum visitor is invited to enter into a traditional sheepfold. To St. Demetrius (October 26) pastoral summer ends and thus it closes the circle of Bucovina popular calendar. Downstairs, one hall houses Bucovina-born French painter collection of George Cotos, promoter of current non-figurative. Another hall houses the (temporary?!) exhibition Chromatic Confessions of the painter Radu Bercea from Gura Humorului.
Muzeul Obiceiurilor Populare din Bucovina, situat în zona centrală a orașului Gura Humorului, reconstituie calendaristic succesiunea obiceiurilor și tradițiilor populare bucovinene. După ce achităm mica taxă de intrare (fotografiatul este permis) și vedem câteva obiecte tradiționale, urcăm la etaj unde muzeul este organizat în cinci săli. Primele două săli reconstituie tradiții de iarnă desfășurate în autentice gospodării țărănești: practicile magice din noaptea Sfântului Andrei (30 noiembrie), Crăciunul (24 decembrie) cu colinde și bucatele ritualice, Noul An (31 decembrie) cu grupuri de mascați și urători. În marea sală următoare, mergând pe ”ulița satului”, parcurgem în ritm amețitor obiceiuri și ritualuri de primăvară dintre care remarcăm o fierărie reprezentând luna februarie (Făurar) dedicată meșterilor care fac unelte agricole și le purifică prin foc și apoi, printr-o stupină arhaică, ziua de Alexii (17 martie) când începe noul an apicol și reînvie insectele. Vedem carul și plugul semnificând începerea anului agrar în luna martie și toate ritualurile care însoțesc tragerea primei brazde. Alăturat, îmbrăcați în costume populare autentice din secolul XIX, vedem toată suflarea satului adunată în fața bisericii, având în față coșuri (păscărițe) acoperite de ștergare brodate și în care au pus bucate rituale de Paște pentru a fi sfințite. Anul pastoral începe de Sfântul Gheorghe (23 aprilie) cu numeroase ritualuri, exemplificat prin vasele pentru produse lactate împodobite cu flori de primăvară. De Sfântul Ilie (20 iulie), la mijlocul verii pastorale, demult se organizau nedei, serbări de adorare a soarelui, acum transformate în târguri. Vizitatorul muzeului este invitat să între într-o stână tradițională. De Sfântul Dumitru (26 octombrie) se încheie vara pastorală și astfel se închide cercul calendarului popular bucovinean. La parter, o sală găzduieşte colecţia pictorului francez de origine română (bucovinean) George Cotos, promotor al curentului nonfigurativ. O altă sală găzduiește expoziția (temporară ?!) ”Confesiuni cromatice” a pictorului Radu Bercea din Gura Humorului.
