| [Nettime-ro] Reminder: About life, houses and others... at Victoria Art Center |
for english please scroll down Victoria Art Center va invita marti, 22 mai, 19:00 â 22:00, la vernisajul expozitiei: About life, houses, people and othersâ Artisti:Alina Tudor & Razvan Neagoe Curator:Petru Lucaci  Dintr-o perspectiva biologica si sociala, omul este un permanent consumator de bunuri, servicii si informatii. Pentru a trai, el trebuie sa isi satisfaca diverse nevoi care presupun consumul bunurilor aferente. Natura furnizeaza unele elemente necesare, insa fiintele umane trebuie sa le preia, modifice si adapteze pentru consum. Aceste schimbari pun bazele productiei si decurg din necesitatea indivizilor de a-si satisface nevoile. Pe website-ul oficial al Ministerului Muncii, Familiei Èi Protectiei Sociale, o hotarare de guvern a fost publicata pentru a stipula salariul minim brut obligatoriu. Am decis sa facem un experiment bazat pe stabilirea ariei de consum asigurate de catre o asemenea remuneratie. Proiectul nostru consta in documentarea fotografica si video a experientei de viata care este repetata continuu pentru o categorie neprivilegiata a cetatenilor romani.  Alina Tudor si Razvan Neagoe lucreaza impreunÄ incepand cu anul 2006. Preponderent ei folosesc ca modalitate de exprimare instalatia imbinand actiunea, video, fotografia, performance-ul filmat si obiectul. Ei manifesta o atentie deosebita spatiului de expunere, in majoritatea proiectelor lor acesta reprezentand parte din instalatie fie ca este vorba de container, apartament, cabina telefonica sau galerie de arta. Demersul lor artistic se mentine in zona sociala si politica, fiecare proiect prezentat fiind o sinteza a unei perioade de timp. Au fost implicati in diferite programe culturale, educationale si de rezidenta artistica cum ar fi City Switch (2011 Franta), Artistic Mobility and trans-Mediterranean Cooperation (2011 Franta), I Love Bucharest (2006-2009 â Bucuresti). Au o bogata experienta expozitionala in tara si in strainatate, printre cele mai recente amintind Je passà / Jâhabite /Je vis (Lyon2011), Bienala de fotografie Erosion (Lithuania 2010), The Travellers Box Project (London 2010), 23rd Festival Les Instants VidÃo (Marseille 2010), MOnuMENTS (UNA Galeria 2010). De asemenea sunt implicati in diverse actiuni care au ca subiect Orasul vs Natura, Societatea vs Politica aici amintind âAtentie la ursââ(interventie artistica in cadrul Protest in Vant â asociatia Oberliht Republica Moldova 2011), ÂâAgendaâ(2009), Red Spot (2008), âEXISTâ- Phone Box(2007), ÂstART Dambovita (2007).  Expozitia este eveniment paralel in cadrul Bienalei Internationale de Arta Contemporana Bucuresti si este inclusa in programul âNoaptea Alba a Galeriilorâ. Expozitia va fi deschisa in perioada 22 mai â 10 iunie, 2012. Victoria Art Center: Calea Victoriei 12 C, (lÃngÄ Biserica ZlÄtari), Bucuresti  âââââââââââââââââââââââââââ  Victoria Art Center invites you on Tuesday, May 22, 19:00 â 22:00 hrs, to the opening of the exhibition:  About life, houses, people and othersâ Artists:Alina Tudor & RÄzvan Neagoe Curator:Petru Lucaci  From a biological and social standpoint, man is a permanent consumer of goods, services and information. In order to live one has to satisfy different needs that entail consuming related goods. Nature provides some necessary elements but human beings need to seize, alter and adapt them for consumption. Such changes lay the basis for what we call âproductionâ and ensue from the human necessity to satisfy oneâs needs. On the official website of the Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Protection a draft Government decision has been published to establish the guaranteed minimum gross wage. We have decided to make an experiment based on establishing the consumption range ensured by such an amount of compensation. Our project comprises photography and video documentation of this life experience which is repeated over and over again for an unprivileged category of Romanian citizens.  Alina Tudor and Razvan Neagoe have worked together since 2006. They mainly use installations as a means of artistic expression, combining actions, video, photography, filmed performances and objects. They pay special attention to the exhibition space which, for the majority of their projects, is included in the installation may it be container, apartment, phone both or art gallery. Their artistic endeavours maintain within the social and political sphere and each project is a synthesis of a certain period of time. Alina and Razvan have been involved in various cultural, educational or art residence programs such as City Switch (2011 France), Artistic Mobility and trans-Mediterranean Cooperation (2011 France), I Love Bucharest (2006-2009 â Bucharest). Among their most recent exhibitions the following can be mentioned: Je passà / Jâhabite /Je vis (Lyon, 2011), the Photography Biennial Erosion (Lithuania 2010), The Travellers Box Project (London 2010), 23rd Festival Les Instants VidÃo (Marseille 2010), MOnuMENTS (UNA Galeria 2010). They are also involved in various actions on the theme of City vs. Nature and Society vs. Politics such as âWatch the bearââ (artistic intervention within Protest in the Wind â the Oberliht Association, Moldova 2011), ÂâAgendaâ(2009), Red Spot (2008), âEXISTâ- Phone Box(2007), ÂstART Dambovita (2007).  The exhibition is included in Bucharest Biennale of Contemporary Art as a parallel event and also part of the âWhite Night of Galleriesâ programme. The exhibition can be visited during May 22 â June 10, 2012.
