Common Body: Magdalena & Bogdan Pelmuș
The "Common Body" exhibition presents a selection of recent works by the artist couple Magdalena and Bogdan Pelmuș, a synthesis of maturity in their artistic endeavors over the past 20 years of activity. Bringing together a series of objects and images, including drawings, paintings, ready-mades, and videos, it serves as a gesture of reflection and recovery of the fragility and vulnerability of the human body in the present.
Magdalena and Bogdan Pelmuș are among the artists active after 2000 whose practices are based on collaboration and artistic organization, engaging with new themes and mediums in their discourse, from performance and installation to the internet, happenings, and video. Their approach represents a significant contribution to the Romanian contemporary art scene over the past 20 years, standing out as an emblematic duo of survival in a post-communist artistic space marked by continuous transition.
They have developed a series of initiatives and actions questioning the major social, technological, and political shifts since 2000 and the effects of globalization in the Eastern Bloc. Starting in 2006, they have generated various forms of artistic self-organization and autonomy, from artist groups to artist-run spaces and various collective projects, including Sursa Group, Glocal History, Loading Open Lab, and Hybrid Manifestation. Alongside their career as an artistic duo, they have also continued their personal projects and exhibitions.
