Abstract Circle
Craiova - 2021 European Capital of Culture Association presents "Abstract Circle" - a mobile painting workshop initiated by Ana Maria Micu and Cătălin Petrişor, coordinated by Cătălin Davidescu. The project takes place between 22 and 29 July 2014 in different areas of Cultural Microcenter 1 (Brestei), with a daily schedule between 8-11 and 17-20. On Tuesday, July 22, it will be held on 194 Brestei Street. Further locations will be determined spontaneously and directions can be asked by calling 0720038766. Cătălin Petrişor is working on a series of paintings in which he wants to associate abstract art movements with the geometric decorative motifs used on wrought iron fences and security bars that can be seen in urban areas. In this context he has come to identify the need to practice outdoor painting in front of the selected model. Thus, the performative act and the direct contact with reality are highlighted as the key conceptual components of the work. Petrişor will install an easel and paint in places that will provide him with inspiring models and his work will be documented by Ana Maria Micu. Both artists will be available for discussions related to the description of their action and encourage passers-by to try by themselves to mix colors and apply them on provided canvases. The collected documentary material will be used to create a video art work which it will be installed within the artists' next project - a finissagge exhibition meant to complete the residency program they are invited to attend between 1 August - 5 September 2014 by MyArt Vienna (www.myart-flener.at) with the support of Austrom / Rumänische Österreichisch-Gesellschaft. Ana Maria Micu and Cătălin Petrişor are two visual artists who live in Craiova. They graduated in 2004 Master program of the University of Art and Design in Cluj Napoca.

The Gallery 2014
My video The Noise Turning the Sky Blue was showcased on 15 February 2014, from 4-6 pm within The Gallery Project held at C-Space from 11 January - 1 March 2014. The Gallery is an interactive multimedia project initiated by Chinese artist Wang Xin. Anyone who is interested in showing at The Gallery may submit their work and exhibition proposals would be realised on a first-come-first-serve basis. The idea for my application came to me after I read the statement of The Gallery Project, specifically from the practical aspect of the works submitted being destroyed after the exhibition. I correlated this with an art trivia: in 1972 Laszlo Toth gained international notoriety by vandalizing Michelangelo's Pietà statue. Initially I wanted to paint the portrait of this man on a mirror and send it to be exhibited, only to ask the organizers to destroy the painting with a hammer after the show and film their action. The point would have been the fact that I consider such involvement from their part to be of high artistic significance, maybe higher that my painting of the image would have had. However, due to the difficulties of putting this idea into practice, I had to reconsider and actually make a home-made video in which I perform myself the gesture of smashing the projected portrait, an action which I am coating with secondary, less important, details and atmosphere. For further information regarding this project, please visit the websites of C-Space or The Gallery |
