The gallery was simply taken over by the editorial team from GenRevista.ro. A group of young people, curious and drawn to the idea of being able to touch and rearrange the objects on the table, from writers to editors, visited us after choosing to write about the Table et Tableau exhibition. We thank them for their interest, for the announcements they sent during that period, and for their effort in self-organizing and bringing visitors to the gallery.
”In life, we often bump into rules, whether we like it or not. Fork on the left, knife on the right. Don’t say that out loud, it’s not the right context. Don’t touch the artwork.
Until August 29th, the TABLE et TABLEAU exhibition changes that and brings us all to the table, with our hands untied and our souls laid bare. If you expect to find paintings on the walls, each with golden labels and explanations of 'what the author intended'—well, you're in for a surprise. It's a large, white room with a very long table in the middle, filled with all sorts of archival objects from the artists in the exhibition—photographs, sketchbooks, unfinished sketches, etc.
The Ars Monitor Gallery invites the public to a dinner of imaginations or a breakfast with a dose of uncensored curiosity. For the first time, we have the chance to take a bite out of contemporary history, getting messy up to our noses, like children, with the backstage of renowned artists.”
