”We join forces with Romanian Cultural Institute in London for a sensational evening of immersive art and music to celebrate Contemporary Lynx Magazine’s latest issue. The event brings together Romanian performance artist Alex Mirutziu and Polish visual artist Piotr Krzymowski, who will be presenting their latest projects. The evening will be rounded off with a live DJ set offered by Adrian Magrys of Lanquidity Records, who will be playing Eastern European vibes from vinyl.

The event is organised jointly by Contemporary Lynx and the Romanian Cultural Institute, with the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London and the Polish Cultural Institute. Part of the Polish Heritage Days Festival.

The new issue of Contemporary Lynx Magazine – 1(11)/2019 – focuses on art that impacts all our five senses and its interaction with the viewer. The first step into sensory experience is the lenticular wobbling jelly cover, designed by Sam Bompas and Harry Parr. The issue also includes an article written by Alex Mirutziu, about the vibrant art scene of Cluj-Napoca – a city in central Romania.”

'Doing Sub Thinking' will premiere in June 2 at Royal Academy of Arts, as part of Block Universe 2018

Alex Mirutziu, Doing sub thinking

Block Universe presents Doing sub thinking, a new performance work by Alex Mirutziu, co-commissioned by Delfina Foundation and European ArtEast Foundation.

Referencing philosophical thought, national displays of power and collective agency, this work seeks to illustrate the performative forces at play in society. Exploring the de-personalisation of an individual within a crowd, Mirutziu will bring the audience on a journey to make manifest the intangible gaps between thought and action within group dynamics.

Block Universe is London’s leading international performance art festival, taking place in collaboration with cultural institutions and organisations across the city, including the Royal Academy of Arts, Siobhan Davies Dance, The Store X, the British Museum, Somerset House, Studio Voltaire, Oval Space and the Brunel Museum.

From 26 May to 3 June 2018, the festival will present work by some of the most innovative UK-based and international artists working in performance today, alongside talks, workshops and special projects.

Following the performance there will be a reception at Delfina Foundation from 16:30, with the final chance to see Alex Mirutziu's exhibition, Between Too Soon and Too Late, on the show's final day.
