Ger Van Elk, The Well Polished Floor Sculpture, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam , 2010. Perfection.
Hans Haacke, Condensation Cube, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam , 2010. The 1965 cube is an alive sculpture, as the water inside is reacting and condensing at different temperatures and light. With a will of its own, it cannot be tamed. Me like that.
Roman Ondák, Measuring the Universe, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam , 2010. Criticized by the general audience because of the “simplicity” of his art work, Ondák’s staged installations are mostly living through the audience. Measuring the Universe instantly triggered in me the memory of my grandfather measuring my height at the kitchen door. The measuring competition between my cousins and I was tight and I was sadly defeated by them. Like an alive organism, Measuring the Universe grows as more and more visitors decide to let themselves be measured.
Joi, 19 August 2010, ora 20, la Atelierul de Producţie, Ioana Ciocan marchează încheierea vizionării Pavilionului Românesc al Bienalei de Arhitectură de la Veneția 2010 prin intermediul unei instalaţii, care conferă o dimensiune ludico-simbolică proiectului Unu la Unu (1:1). Punctul de plecare al acestei lucrări îl constituie suprafaţa de care dispune un locuitor al Bucureştiului conform proiectului 1:1, şi anume 94,4 m2. Geografic, Bucureştiul ne aparţine în mod egal, dar fiecare locuitor decide cât din Bucureşti îi revine în fapt. Demersul artistic îi lasă privitorului libertatea de a-şi alege partea lui din Bucuresti. Cât ne permite Bucureştiul să îl folosim, şi cât este al nostru în realitate ?
Well…this is from the “I can’t believe it” series. A billion years ago, 1999 or something, I was coming back home from Greece, by train, by myself. Eva, a Greek girl heading towards Hungary, shared the hot, dirty train cart with me. If I remember correctly, my “Romania is so beautiful…you do have to stop in Bucharest” lobby, made her stay in Bucharest a bit. I was proud to be her guide, showing her the city. By the city I mean the streets around the Art University. We did not exchange addresses, nor telephones and I often thought what became of her. Eva the Greek was the only thing I could remember. A while ago I got an email saying: “Hi Ioana! I googled you and I found your website… I am Evangelia, the Greek girl you met in the train on your way to Bucuresti.” I could not believe it!
Please take a look at her website, she is an amazing photographer.
Funny… Eva the Greek googled me.
