Victoria Art Center va invita marti, 22
mai, 19:00 â 22:00, la vernisajul expozitiei:
About life, houses, people and othersâ
Artisti:Alina Tudor
& Razvan Neagoe
Curator:Petru Lucaci
Â
Dintr-o perspectiva biologica si sociala, omul
este un permanent consumator de bunuri, servicii si informatii. Pentru a trai,
el trebuie sa isi satisfaca diverse nevoi care presupun consumul bunurilor
aferente. Natura furnizeaza unele elemente necesare, insa fiintele umane
trebuie sa le preia, modifice si adapteze pentru consum. Aceste schimbari pun
bazele productiei si decurg din necesitatea indivizilor de a-si satisface
nevoile.
Pe website-ul oficial al Ministerului Muncii,
Familiei Èi Protectiei Sociale, o hotarare de guvern a fost publicata pentru a
stipula salariul minim brut obligatoriu. Am decis sa facem un experiment bazat
pe stabilirea ariei de consum asigurate de catre o asemenea remuneratie.
Proiectul nostru consta in documentarea fotografica si video a experientei de
viata care este repetata continuu pentru o categorie neprivilegiata a
cetatenilor romani.
Â
Alina Tudor si Razvan Neagoe lucreaza impreunÄ
incepand cu anul 2006. Preponderent ei folosesc ca modalitate de exprimare
instalatia imbinand actiunea, video, fotografia, performance-ul filmat si
obiectul. Ei manifesta o atentie deosebita spatiului de expunere, in
majoritatea proiectelor lor acesta reprezentand parte din instalatie fie ca
este vorba de container, apartament, cabina telefonica sau galerie de
arta. Demersul lor artistic se mentine in zona sociala si politica,Â
fiecare proiect prezentat fiind o sinteza a unei perioade de timp.
Au fost implicati in diferite programe
culturale, educationale si de rezidenta artistica cum ar fi City Switch
(2011 Franta), Artistic Mobility and trans-Mediterranean Cooperation (2011
Franta), I Love Bucharest (2006-2009 â Bucuresti).
Au o bogata experienta expozitionala in tara si
in strainatate, printre cele mai recente amintind Je passà / Jâhabite /Je vis
(Lyon2011), Bienala de fotografie Erosion (Lithuania 2010), The Travellers Box
Project (London 2010), 23rd Festival Les Instants VidÃo (Marseille 2010),
MOnuMENTS (UNA Galeria 2010). De asemenea sunt implicati in diverse actiuni
care au ca subiect Orasul vs Natura, Societatea vs Politica aici amintind
âAtentie la ursââ(interventie artistica in cadrul Protest in Vant â asociatia
Oberliht Republica Moldova 2011), ÂâAgendaâ(2009), Red Spot (2008),
âEXISTâ- Phone Box(2007), ÂstART Dambovita (2007).

Victoria Art Center invites you on Tuesday,
May 22, 19:00 â 22:00 hrs, to the opening of the exhibition:
Â
About life, houses, people and othersâ
Artists:Alina Tudor
& RÄzvan Neagoe
Curator:Petru Lucaci
Â
From a biological and social standpoint, man is a
permanent consumer of goods, services and information. In order to live one has
to satisfy different needs that entail consuming related goods. Nature provides
some necessary elements but human beings need to seize, alter and adapt them
for consumption. Such changes lay the basis for what we call âproductionâ and
ensue from the human necessity to satisfy oneâs needs.
On the official website of the Ministry of Labour,
Family and Social Protection a draft Government decision has been published to
establish the guaranteed minimum gross wage. We have decided to make an
experiment based on establishing the consumption range ensured by such an
amount of compensation. Our project comprises photography and video
documentation of this life experience which is repeated over and over again for
an unprivileged category of Romanian citizens.
Â
Alina Tudor and Razvan Neagoe have worked
together since 2006. They mainly use installations as a means of artistic
expression, combining actions, video, photography, filmed performances and
objects. They pay special attention to the exhibition space which, for the
majority of their projects, is included in the installation may it be
container, apartment, phone both or art gallery. Their artistic endeavours
maintain within the social and political sphere and each project is a synthesis
of a certain period of time.
Alina and Razvan have been involved in various
cultural, educational or art residence programs such as City Switch (2011
France), Artistic Mobility and trans-Mediterranean Cooperation (2011 France), I
Love Bucharest (2006-2009 â Bucharest).
Among their most recent exhibitions the following
can be mentioned: Je passà / Jâhabite /Je vis (Lyon, 2011), the Photography
Biennial Erosion (Lithuania 2010), The Travellers Box Project (London 2010),
23rd Festival Les Instants VidÃo (Marseille 2010), MOnuMENTS (UNA Galeria
2010). They are also involved in various actions on the theme of City vs.
Nature and Society vs. Politics such as âWatch the bearââ (artistic
intervention within Protest in the Wind â the Oberliht Association, Moldova
2011), ÂâAgendaâ(2009), Red Spot (2008), âEXISTâ- Phone Box(2007),
ÂstART Dambovita (2007).
Â
The exhibition is included in Bucharest Biennale
of Contemporary Art as a parallel event and also part of the âWhite Night of
Galleriesâ programme.
