MOSTRA

Square Media alaturi de Epson Romania si de UNA Galeria
va invita la

MOSTRA
expozitia de lansare Digigraphie®– singurul certificat de calitate si autenticitate al fotografiei de arta

Nicu Ilfoveanu, Bogdan Bordeianu, Vlad Petri, Bogdan Girbovan, Michele Bressan si Lucian Bran expun o selectie de lucrari in editii limitate, din serii in lucru, pentru prima data aratate public.


Vernisaj si instructiuni de folosire: miercuri 10 martie / intre orele 18-20
UNA galeria, G-ral Budisteanu 10
---------------------------
Digigraphie® este lucrarea imprimata pe o hartie certificata Epson, folosind tehnologie profesionala Epson Stylus Pro in 8 culori. Lucrarea este numerotata si semnata de catre artist, stampilata de atelierul de productie si insotita de certificat de calitate. Alaturi de garantarea rezistentei culorilor si a suportului (conform testelor intre 60 si 100 de ani), se garanteaza si reproductibilitatea in conditii tehnice identice.

Destinat in mod preferential artistilor si atelierelor de print, dar si muzeelor sau galeriilor de arta, Digigraphie® reprezinta o initiativa Epson si a fost lansat in 2003 la centenarul Expozitiei de Toamna de la Galeria ULUS (fosta Iugoslavie).
---------------------------
Prin atelierul Square Media, incepand din toamna 2009, acest program ajunge si in Romania, oferind astfel un suport tehnic profesionist discutiilor despre mestesugul imprimarii fotografiei de arta.

De ce avem nevoie de un certificat pentru fotografia de arta? Ce diferentiaza un print oarecare de imprimarea specifica a unei lucrari de arta? Am pornit de la aceste intrebari si am devenit laborator certificat Digigraphie®. Aceasta deoarece un atelier de productie a operei de arta sau chiar a reproducerii muzeale este mai mult decat un print shop. Este un spatiu de lucru, un loc al dialogului cu echipa grafica, al deciziilor tehnice ce vor determina obiectul final.
Stampila si marca Digigraphie® contribuie astfel la individualizarea atelierului de productie si constituie garantia durabilitatii tehnice dar si a credibilitatii profesionale. Reprezinta, de asemenea, un argument important fata de curator, galerist si fata de colectionarul de arta.
---------------------------
Expozitia va ramane deschisa pana in 18 martie.

ZIDUL – CRESCAND IN SPATELE CORTINEI DE FIER

[4 februarie – 2 martie 2010]


Vernisajul va avea loc joi 4 februarie 2010, incepand de la ora 18:00, la UNAgaleria, Str. Budisteanu 10, Bucuresti.
 Iti plac povestile? Chiar si cele despre regimul comunist? Atunci vino sa cunosti povestea lui Sis!
Fiecare dintre noi avem anumite amintiri fata de perioada comunista.
Amintirile lui Sis sunt ilustrate in caietul cu schite din scoala - de la ora de gramatica, caietul cu schite din Anglia, Suedia, adeverinte si stampile speciale pentru orice maruntis, ilustratii, desene si un casetofon-valiza.


Zidul este o expozitie documentara, volanta, realizata pe langa cartea lui Petr Sis - The Wall, care prezinta copilaria si adolescenta artistului in spaţiul bine delimitat de Cortina de Fier.


Petr Sis
Ilustrator, autor si regizor. S-a nascut la Brno, Cehia in anul 1949; a urmat cursurile Academiei de Arte in Praga si Colegiul Regal de Arte in Londra. Debutul sau ca regizor a fost unul remarcabil. Inca de la începutul carierei sale a castigat Ursul de aur la Festivalul de Film Berlinul de Vest pentru un scurt metraj de animatie. Colaborarea cu Bob Dylan la albumul You Got to Serve Somebody i-a adus in anul 1983 premiile Cine Golden Eagle si Grand Prix Toronto. In prezent, filmele sale fac parte din colectia permanentă a Muzeului de Arta Moderna (MOMA), din New York.


De-a lungul anilor a publicat peste 20 carti, castigand premii ca: The New York Times Book Review pentru cea mai buna carte ilustrata a anului pentru operele Rainbow Rhino, Beach Ball, Follow the Dream, Komodo!,The Three Golden Keys; medalia de aur acordata de Society of Illustration pentru Komdo!.


Petr Sis a contribuit cu mai bine de o mie de desene pentru The New York Times Book Review, iar ilustratiile sale au aparut in revista Time, The Atlantic Monthly, Newsweek, Esquire si multe altele.


In 2007, Petr Sis a publicat The Wall: Growing Up Behaind The Iron Curtain. Povestea unui baietel caruia ii placea sa deseneze, dar care din pacate a trebuit sa se supuna regimului comunist.


"With Sís, everything is multilayered and full of surprises. Getting it all in one read is like seeing the Metropolitan Museum of Art in an afternoon."

Archaeologies of the Present/ Memory, History, Experience


In recent years a tendency has been observed toward reference to the archaeological on the part of the arts and humanities. This pertains to the reactivation of the principle of excavation, recovery and documenting as well as questions about the mediality of knowledge, the composition of archives and the selective nature of memory and the effects of inclusion and exemption associated with it.

The specific grasp of artists on archaeological methods of uncovering, storing and analyzing finds a decisive amelioration here through its interest in the present. The present is also subject to the ongoing processes of disappearance.

For documentarism in the art field, the ambition of the testimonial -- on the basis of subjective artistic criteria -- is the focal point. Nevertheless, elements of narration and fiction or, "how it might have been" arise. Such a testimonial as counter-hegemonic narration, which implies past, present and future and which can be read as an artistic contribution to the societal production of realities, builds a specific potentiality.


Kilian Schellbach
--------------------------

Media Art at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig is an art form still in its infancy, and as such finds itself placed in a field undergoing dynamic changes, the development and outcome of which remain largely unpredictable. Contrary to traditional courses of study at the HGB such as Painting and Photography, which move within a clearly defined medium, Media Art cannot rely on an extensive, well-established vocabulary. During study, image selection, media formats and presentations should be examined anew and developed to cater to the students' needs. The following skills are therefore fostered during the course: the testing and development of artistic and technical competence, the acquisition of communicative and organisational skills, as well as consideration of the correspondence of one's work to current artistic, social and political questions. Through group and project work students not only have the chance to discover their strengths and recognise their preferences, but are also confronted with the organisational demands of displaying works from their conception right through to their realisation and presentation in an exhibition. In addition to teacher supervision in foundation and core studies, students can also call upon the expertise of academic colleagues. For example, it is possible to make use of a professionally supervised audiovisual lab or to ask for supervision with the programming of more complex applications.

In core studies students may attend the classes offered by Alba D'Urbano, Joachim Blank, Ralf Urban Bühler, Helmut Mark and Günther Selichar.

In terms of content, the topic of study is not only determined by discussing possibilities of "new media" in contrast to traditional media or the increasing mechanisation of society through digital media, but also the analysis of space, time, attention, communication and participation or interaction respectively. Consideration of the effects of a media-transmitted, grossly accelerated global perception of an image of the world and of its people serves as the basis of this discussion.

The Media Art course at the College offers students the possibility to critically deal with artistic, contextual and media-specific problems. The aim of the course is to develop an individual working method and designate one's own independent artistic standpoint. Students may also choose from four specialist classes after foundation studies or the Vordiplom.

8 October – 7 November 2009

Opening: Thursday 8 October 18h00



Merete Rostad
Nomzi Kumalo
Nirmal Singh Dhunsi
Cristina David
These four artists represent different voices in society and art scene in Norway today. The artists living in Norway describe their situation as being a meeting point between their original cultural identity and their daily influence. The other two have residencies in other European countries and own a more distant perspective to the Norwegian way. “Norwegianness” is also an ironic reference to the fright of an increasing multiculturalism and globalism. As this exhibition is exploring processes of change in Norwegian culture and art scenery, it also holds an international and global aspect of the effect from different interferences and the creation of new meaning.
Curator NOR
Bjřrg Kvaran, Susanne Moss, Inger Lillesand



Merete Rostad Her philosophy is strategies according to social relations. She is occupied with the matter of making art available. In this exhibition her project will anchor the Norwegian identity in a bit of an ironic manner. A manifesto in digi photo is exposed in the show room. The collective memory collector

Cristina David lives in Romania, and she prefers working with videos and installations. On the level of production her works are also relational in the matter of including people in her narratives. Humour has a great part in her work. "I like to see the reality through the tales, to exercise my mind and to place stories where none may exist".


Nirmal Singh Dhunsi works in the field between his Norwegian and Indian identity, claiming he is conscious of this symbiosa and the value of it. In his universe we find a mix of Mickey Mouse and Krishna, both claiming to be verified.










Nomzi Kumalo is born and educated in South-Africa, now living in Norway. Her motiv is in concret and abstract sense herself or seemingly prosaic but still mysterious motivs. Her manner is expressive.
