"Abziehbild. Unapplied Arts" is the first exhibition in the Arsmonitor program, weaving together the visions of 10 artists, each unique in their creative approach, whom you will discover in greater depth in the gallery's future projects: Radu Comșa, Dumitru Gorzo, Maxim Liulca, Gili Mocanu, Sorin Neamțu, Radu Pandele, Carmen Rasovszky, Gheorghe Rasovszky, Victoria Zidaru, and Marian Zidaru.
Brought together, they cover a period spanning 30 years of contemporary art history, from the '90s to the present, and are also representative of the geographical areas they come from and work in, such as Bucharest, Cluj, and Timișoara. United by a shared passion for image, form, and artistic expression, these creators bring their unique visions into the world of "unapplied arts." This label—a playful convention—describes a possible, cross-border territory between tradition and contemporaneity, dissolving the boundary between "high arts" and "applied arts"—drawing without a trace, painting without representation, design without functionality, sculpture without roundness, photography without an archive, film without a script.
