*(english version bellow*)

 ALERT studio (White Code). Calin Dan. Eveniment: Vineri 12 Octombrie, ora
19.00.

*STRADA LENIN**
ORASUL STALIN*

Un eveniment menit sa contextualizeze istoric cel mai recent video al lui
Calin Dan - "Natura moarta", sec. 20, construind totodata un spatiu de
vizionare diferit de cutia neagra / alba a salii de cinema sau a galeriei
de arta. Publicul va putea sa testeze versiunea imbunatatita a unui meniu
de inchisoare si sa parcurga o selectie din dosarul bunicii artistului,
detinuta politic in Romania la mijlocul secolului trecut.

In "Natura moarta", sec. 20, amintirile unei femei arestate si condamnate
politic in 1948 se intersecteaza cu amintirile unui baietel care aseaza
masa pentru pranz in casa bunicii, in 1965. Prin reconstructia aparentelor
banale ale vietii sub comunism, filmul face referinte la multiple straturi
ale istoriei secolului 20, cu incarcatura sa de confuzie ideologica,
vinovatie, opresiune si memorie alterata de trauma.

Orasul Stalin = Brasov (08.09.1950 - 24.12.1960)


*************************************************************************

 ALERT studio (White Code). Calin Dan. Opening: Friday 12th of October,
7.00 PM.

*LENIN STREET
STALIN CITY*

An event meant to contextualize historically C?lin Dan's most recent video
- "Still life", 20th c. (NL/RO, 2012), while creating a screening
environment alternative to the usual black box of the cinema / art gallery.
The audience will be offered an improved version of the prison menu and a
quick browsing through the secret service files instrumentalizing the case
of the artist's grandmother, a former political convict from mid-20 century
Romania.

"Still life", 20th c. alternates the memories of a woman imprisoned by the
Romanian communist regime in 1948 with the actions of a little boy
preparing the table for lunch at his grand-mother's place in 1965.
Apparently a description of how life unfolded in communist Eastern Europe,
the video refers to multiple layers of 20 century history, and involves
ideological confusion, guilt, memory, punishment, political oppression,
trauma, all wrapped in the banality of a typical struggling working class
existence.

Stalin city = Brasov (08.09.1950 - 24.12.1960)

*ALERT studio este un proiect independent initiat de Raluca Ilaria
Demetrescu, Alina Buga si Catalin Burcea cu scopul de a crea o platforma de
cercetare  si promovare a productiei artistice contemporane. Asumandu-si
functia de spatiu laborator, Alert Studio propune o intalnire intre
artisti, idei, directii si discursuri din zone conceptuale si spatii
culturale diferite. Sunt importante si apreciate gandirea critica si
interogatia ca metode de cercetare a contextului cultural-artistic
contemporan.
ALERT studio functioneaza ca o galerie de proiect, conectand trei directii
de explorare artistica - PINK | RED | WHITE - intr-un singur spatiu. Insa
aceste coordonate nu inseamna indexare, restrictie si etichetare. Ele se
pot intersecta si nuanta, pot oricand dialoga si declansa dezbateri.

ALERT studio is an independent project initiated by Raluca Demetrescu Alina
Buga and Catalin Burcea in order to create a platform of research and
promotion of contemporary artistic production. Taking on the function of
alaboratory space, Studio Alert proposes a meeting between artists, ideas,
directions and speeches from different areas of conceptual and cultural
spaces. Critical thinking and interrogation are important and valued as
research methods in the contemporary cultural and artistic field.
ALERT studio stands as a gallery project, connecting three areas of
artistic exploration - PINK | RED | WHITE - into one space. But these
coordinates do not mean indexing, labeling and restriction. They may
intersect, combine in new shades, and may always communicate and trigger
debates.
