“GM Cantacuzino – a hybrid modern” exhibition opened at Generalkonsulat von Rumanien, Richard-Strauss-Straße 149, 81679 München

Stefan Tuchila climbed over 80 buildings and took several thousand photographs of Bucharest: another kind of urban research, a methodical and spectacular urban mapping. And a support for the recollection of a city that is constantly reinventing itself.

Introduction: Stefan Tuchila

Between 11th of October – 11th of November, META Cultural Foundation organises in Bucharest the Biennial of Young Artists. The title of this year’s edition is Overlapping Biennial and its concept emerged from a project of contextual art. The Biennial furthers an innovative way of shaping the interaction between the audience and art. Mostly, Overlapping Biennial is a virtual event. The connection between the virtual world and reality is achived through QR codes – a type of barcode – which generate content after being scaned with a telephone/tablet/PDA.

We live in the future-in the future that only the architects of 60’s imagined it, some even programmatically, like those in Japan, grouped in architecture Metabolism movement.

Mori Art Museum proposes to go back in their future through a fabulous show, the first in the world, until 15 January 2012. In Tokyo … If you did not know where you can celebrate The New Year’s Eve :)

Dust poisoning, dreams and stereotypes cut out off the media, everyday experience among Berceni blocks of flats, some contagious humour, destabilized framing, light-headed stylistic collages, mixed cultural allusions and colour hallucinations are part of the aesthetic ammunition of artist Nicolae Comanescu whose paintings propose unusual trips among actual urban deeds and collective imaginary. Mirroring his major creative trends between 1998 and 2010 (Rostopasca period, “Grand Prix”, “Beach Culture in Bercsenyi”, “Dust and Powder”), the 88 works gathered under “Berceni” heading within a retrospective exhibition hosted at the National Museum of Contemporary Art (NMCA) might signify a replay and refreshing of some conceptual attitudes that marked critical postmodernism in the West, in mid ‘70s: aesthetic nonconformism, semantic multicoding and particularly an obsessive appeal to the idea of multiple reality.
