Period: 7.10 - 15.11.2022
The project 'And what art can do about it?' questions a recurring theme in contemporary society, namely the relationship between art and eco-socio-political crises. At the invitation of the WASP space, which in 2022 celebrates 10 years of activity, curator Anca Rujoiu and artist Irina Botea Bucan, join an investigation and analysis of the proposed theme, together with curator Andreea Capitanescu.
The solidarity of the international community in the crisis of the war in Ukraine and the eco-climatic crisis that was born in the wake of this disaster is perhaps unprecedented, therefore making us think about this project. The proximity of the aggression and the impact of the media - which broadcasts non-stop information and images from the scene - completely captured our attention and everyone tried to help unconditionally. The effects of the war will be long-lasting and will leave a legacy that will be hard to overcome.
But social crises, military conflicts and political repression have always occurred in different corners of the world. In order to better understand and discover how these crises have been and are being managed by artists, curators and theorists, we set out to develop a project that would offer through dialogue and creative space, exhibition opportunities and new collaborations between artists from Romania and other European and global territories.
???????? ?? ??? ???????:
The project includes the development of a creative process in a laboratory format (7.10 - 15.11.2022) coordinated by the artist Irina Botea, where the 8 selected artists will participate in a discursive platform mentored by the curator Anca Rujoiu. During the development period there will be: 5 lectures, 2 workshops and 1 artist presentation.
The project will be finalised with a group exhibition at WASP Working Art Space and Production.
