Four spaces in the Armeneasc\u0103 – Bati\u0219te area host, for several weeks, the dissertations of six young artists. In the form of a circuit, the galleries Posibil\u0103, Grotto, Pharmakon and NON art space collaborate and offer insight into emerging artistic practices. <\/p>\n

Galeria Posibil\u0103<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Galeria Posibil\u0103 organized this spring a new edition of the Master’s program, and following the submissions and jury, Vlad Dragne’s dissertation project was chosen as the winner, and he was given space to exhibit it.<\/p>\n

The young artist’s scenario starts in 1920. A young photographer travels to Bucharest in search of his brother who has run away from home to join the Legionary Movement. But he arrives, with maps, luggage and interwar equipment, in Bucharest in 2025. <\/p>\n

Vlad Dragne maps photographically and multimedia the stratification of ideological influences in the architecture of the Capital. The exhibition includes prints of some of the city’s iconic sites, from the Press House to the former Malmaison prison, alongside diary pages, investigating how the social and political have been reflected in the urban landscape over time. Even the support they use – welded iron rods – evokes change, transformation. They suggest construction, but also demolition. <\/p>\n

The exhibition \u201cChronicle of the Announced Collapse\u201d can be seen at Galeria Posibil\u0103 (Popa Petre St.) until August 2, from Wednesday to Saturday between 16:00 and 20:00.<\/p>\n

The small space in Sp\u0103tarului Street hosts several pieces of ceramics, clay and oil on canvas by Gwen representing the work \u201cOfferings for a Ghost\u201d, which speaks about presence and absence. It all revolves around the flower – the flower as threshold, archetypal figure, instrument of access. <\/p>\n

The staging can be seen outside the gallery.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresences in Absence\u201d is Dimitrie Luca Gora’s dissertation. Some of the works are on show in the gallery on Armeneasc\u0103 Street. <\/p>\n

Gora, whose practice lies at the intersection of conceptual art, sculpture and installation, started from the concepts of mourning and personal memory.<\/p>\n

“This series is not about death but about continuity. About how loved ones don’t disappear completely, but remain in us through the way we relate to them, to their stories, to what they left us,” he says. <\/p>\n

In a block of flats on rue Jean Louis Calderon, the collective Camera 36 presents the exhibition \u201cMemory in progress\u201d.<\/p>\n

Georgiana Cojocaru, Ruxandra Ni\u021bescu and Anca Enache have realized installations that explore the relationship between materiality and memory, personal history and natural space, and how they influence each other.<\/p>\n

From working the land and marriage to plant diseases and death, the three young artists introspect. The exhibition is open by appointment until August 28. <\/p>\n
