Alex Mirutziu -Runway spill #2 (video still) / 2011
Moving Image, an art fair of contemporary video art, will take place March 3-6, 2011, during the Armory Show in New York and within walking distance of Independent. Located in the the Waterfront Tunnel event space between 27th and 28th Streets with an entrance on 11th Avenue in Chelsea, Moving Image will be free to the public and open Thursday - Saturday, March 3-5, 11-8 PM and on Sunday, March 6, 11-3 PM. An opening reception for Moving Image will take place Thursday, March 3, 6-8 PM.
Moving Image has been conceived to offer viewers a unique viewing experience, providing a rich program of time-based work from around the globe by today's most important and exciting new artists.
SABOT (Cluj-Napoca, Romania) features Alex Mirutziu’s videos. Using social consciousness and political information as fodder for open dialogue, this Romanian artist bridges the gap between form and communication. Each video is a temporal study delicately illustrating the emotional weight associated with social and political life. These films come to life through tears, volatile distortion, and isolation.
Moving Image was conceived by Edward Winkleman and Murat Orozobekov of New York's Winkleman Gallery and co-organized with Penny Pilkington and Wendy Olsoff of New York's P·P·O·W gallery.

Alex Mirutziu and Sabot at JustMad - Contemporary Art Fair, in Madrid
Its been absolutelly mad these days at JustMad, Madrid, in terms of visitors, and its just the beguining, as the organisers are optimistic concerning the coming days. Madrid has a way with artfairs, nurturing ARCO celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
JustMad on the other hand is a platform that proclaims more that it declaires, and this edition proves the obove.
Sabot as always presented an quite mix of my work from drawing to video and it has done a fantastic job in display and availability.
One thing worth mentioning is the "coming home" of Tears are precious - video work, that in 2008 was awarded internationaly in Madrid -- best video for an Independent Artist. I have personally meet some members of the public who are attached to the artwork recognising it.
