‘What are you staring at us for ? Why are you taking pictures ? Get away from here ! Leave us in peace !’
We saw the homestead at a bend on the road which passes through the Râmeti village in the Western Carpathians. An incredible image : a house, a shed and a barn exactly as they used to be a hundred years ago and which now seem to exist only in ethnographic museums. Three elderly people, patching a thatch roof with a sheet of metal.

> The National Museum of Contemporary Art (MNAC) is housing for a whole year a retrospective of artist Mircea Cantor. The Q.E.D. exhibition is located on the ground floor and the mezzanine of the museum, and the connection between the exhibits and the spaces belonging to Ceausescu’s former palace is anything but accidental. Attila Kim’s exhibition design responds to the artist’s programme by disassembling and reorganizing existing spaces.

We, you, the media, various people in culture keep on discussing about the public space. And we start to feel the impact of those speeches. Perhaps not the best ones if we think about the explosion of jardinières, fences, bins which, most recently, easily turn into a public space agenda for certain town halls.
