Sons Museum to include Mirutziu in permanent collection

Added on by Alex Mirutziu.

The Sons Museum of Belgium welcomes one of my works as part of its permanent collection. From now on, the playing accessory (as seen above) which I used at the opening of my first solo show at Rudiger Schottle Gallery in 2010 can be seen on display  in  the museum alongside other relevant brilliant artefacts of other artists.

About Sons Museum

Almost every human being owns a pair in one or another execution. On the one hand this universal object leads a visitor of SONS through all ethnic cultures and peoples, from the first foot-covered footsteps of humans till today. On the other hand through the world of modern art, highlighted out of a surprising perspective.

Thanks to Dirk Vanderschueren, the museum's owner, these two unique collections have found a home in a building of amazing architecture in beautiful surroundings. The whole results in a place of direct confrontation, a happening with international allure.

Pasiunea lui Alex Mirutziu pentru teoretizare si discurs transpare in toate demersuriel lui. Video-ul Tears are precious (2007) prezentat in expozitie nu este la fel de discursiv. Este in schimb, un raspuns extrem de direct si de concis la agresiunea homofoba resimtita de artist acasa, in Romania postcomunista. Forta lucrarii vine din simplitatea ei: artistul a fixat o camera care ii filmeaza chipul, intr-un close-up, in timp ce ii curg lacrimi, inregistrand fiecare detaliu al unui act uman comun dar ale carui semnificatii se amplifica exponential la fiecare repetare, in cadrul unui loop continuu de aproape trei minute.

Recent Mirutziu's solo show meets IDEA - Art+Society review

Added on by Alex Mirutziu.

Recent issue of IDEA - Art + Society, appointed Diana Marincu to curate a text on Alex Mirutziu's latest solo show "Each thought's an instant ruin with a new disease" which took place last December at art hub Paintbrush Factory's gallery Sabot.

Diana Marincu is a researcher on the curatorial narratives/discourses built in relation with political and geographical criteria and a Ph.D. candidate at the National University of Art in Bucharest.

Among the themes discussed are Mirutziu's attachment to language and text, the development of Pending Work series, Bureaucracy of Objects and the Artist and Himself at 29 (a hyperobject / collective he put together recently).

She states: "Alex Mirutziu does not explain, does not represent and does not demonstrate through his works something that, as soon as it reaches the public, would “close“ itself within an interpretation. The question that the artist uses as a point of departure is “what happens when the objects, bodies and all things from our surroundings stay silent?“ Their language is untranslatable, their background empty and their field of reaction fragmented in a multitude of different temporalities, desynchronized."

excerpt from:
CONVERGENCE | ART BASEL, VOLTA, LISTE
July 2, 2014



"Architecture for the Page Turn was one of two pieces by Alex Mirutziu (The Artist and himself at 29 “TAH29”) whose CV includes exhibiting at Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle (Warszawa), IASPIS (Stockholm), The Power Plant (Toronto), and Műcsarnok Kunsthalle (Budapest). He also entered the scene through performance with a flair for “ontological spectacle” creating “hyper-objects” through his self-reflective alter ego TAH29, by combining images found in the online spaces of Google and YouTube. One to watch, his work comments on the high-functioning, (post)language world we live in and responds with equally layered and sensory experiences."
