In this exhibition, curated by Diana Marincu, the visual experience is driven mainly by the permanent dialogue between the large-scale paintings and the small cut-out moments of rapid observations that punctuate the display like a needle and thread, sewing together Bercea’s micro and the macro universes. The personal creative process is being revealed by means of two types of archives on display: there is the analogue, pre-internet studio work, featuring drawings, psychedelic watercolours, stencils, and dioramas; and there is the digital archive, corresponding to the internet age, influenced by the devices we use as extensions of our hands, including a series of on-the-road photos in the desert. The desert remains a terminus point, a proof of nature’s resilience and a geometrical abstraction, a reminder of the “nostalgia of belonging”, a significant structural element in Marius Bercea’s work.
The exhibition can be visited until August 17th 2024, from Tuesday to Saturday, between 12:00 and 18:00, offering a guided tour every Saturday from 17:00.
Scheduled tours are subject to change. To stay up to date with the latest updates, please keep checking the event dedicated to the guided tour.
