Play!

As part of the art fair Roma Road to Contemporary Art, taking place between the 25th and the 30th of May 2010, The Romanian Academy in Rome will be hosting the exhibition entitled Play!. The exhibition will feature mostly site-specific works and will be recorded in the catalogue of the art fair as part of the main colateral events presented by the foreign cultural institutes and academies in Rome.

With or without rules, pure or subversive, logical or absurd, vital or derisive, the notion of play defines contemporary society in its most intimate aspects. We play when we are young and we continue playing when we grow up. We play hide-and-seek first with other children and further with our own selves, hiding behind prejudices and restrictive social norms. We play with love, we play with politics, we play with life.

Play! imagines a homo ludens who has become a deconstructor of the notion of play and a cruel analyst of existence, a homo ludens post-ludus who, by employing various mechanisms of play, engages himself in a process of self-sabotage by colliding against social order only to become the boomerang of his own self proclamation.

Play! is a platform for ludic experiements of art as play. Going beyond Johan Huizinga’ homo ludens, who lives in a dimension where playing is a condition for the making of culture, the exhibition proposes an investigation into the mecanisms of play extracted from the life of homo ludens post ludus, the man who returns to the infantile purity of playing after passing through concupiscent identity games. The three artists, Radu Comşa, Alex Mirutziu and Vlad Olariu meet at the level of the delicate membrane where playing becomes real life and where life itself is the very question of the action of playing.

Alex Mirutziu in DIE WELT

The acclaimed video by Alex Mirutziu - "Tears are precious" screened at FAT Toronto Alternative Fashion Week

One of the most important media critical festivals in the world Lumen Festival, The Projection Gallery finds itself at the forefront of its contemporaries, screening "Tears are precious" video by Alex Mirutziu in an fashionistic never seen rhetoric.

After being awarded BEST INDEPENDENT FILM at OPTICA - International Video Art Festival, "Tears are precious" has marked scenes so diverse from the underground Bacon Street London - 2009 to now established Sabot Gallery 2009, Lumen Festival - 2009, and this year prestigious Warsaw National Museum - 2010.

KiosK 59 - Festival dance theatre performance LET'S GET ATEMNOT!

KiosK 59 - Festival dance theatre performance

8. - 10 April 2010

26 Installations, Workshops, Discussions, Live Music, DJing

The action takes place in 15 spaces of WUK, on the open street and in the immediate vicinity of the Volksoper. A temporary camp serves as agora. 26 dance performances, installations, workshops and panel discussions are on the programme. Diversity is the order of the day.

To talk about sustainable strategies, theatre, dance and art while being conscious of the army of gaping scissors of wealth, religions, genders, generations, east and west, north and south. To take the floor, define viewpoints, develop convictions, start the speech, represent opinions. Dancing as long as you can and then throwing yourself in the corner completely exhausted. Breaking down borders.

Get to it, get through it, be part of it!

The chance lies in diversity, the principle in disorder. Show me your ass.

The uncomfortable, the ugly, the surprising, the ambivalent, the insolent are needed to bring forth the beautiful. It needs the explosive that ignites opinions, triggers controversies, flares tempers.

KiosK 59 is open space and show of ttp’s work.

Borne from maximum independence, artistic freedom and self-determination, works will be presented which contradict the familiar forms of categorisation and refuse the “one concept” in their versatility and diversity. Unusual aesthetics, bizarre practices of movement and uncomfortable questions are the objectives.

The presented works are propositions, formulations of viewpoints, snapshots and reactions to the Now. They are the departure point for controversies; they are the prerequisite for opening up debate. They are food for thought, assertion, a statement in the awareness of the indispensable culture of critical thought.
