Sunday, May 10, 2015, 04:00 p.m., the collective sculpture and installation exhibition Facets of Hyperconnectivity will open at the "Brancoveanu Palaces" Cultural Center in Mogosoaia. This is the third step in a complex curatorial program initiated in 2012 by Many Colors Association. This year's project involves, in addition to the thematic exhibition itself, a series of related events: “Upside Down”, dance performance (May 10), a bronze sculpture workshop (May 29 and May 30), “Sambata Sonora” experimental and contemporary music auditions (May 16).
The artists participating in the project include: Adrian Moise, Anamaria Pravicenco, Arcadie Rusu, Catalin Oancea, Darie Dup, Dragos Neagoe, Flavia Lupu, Frantz Galo (France), Gabriel Brojboiu, Georgiana Cozma, Ileana Oancea, Ioana Marchidan, Irinel Moldoveanu, Octav Avramescu, Radu Dragomirescu, Marina Antoniu, Mara Maracinescu and Vlad Basarab. Simona Antoniu is curator and project manager, seconded by Irinel Moldoveanu as assistant manager.
In a world dominated by computers and mobile phones, together with all the gadgets associated with these requisites of modern man, the fact of being connected, of being online, has become a purpose in itself, beyond everything that the connection to global information can provide, raised to the status of an ontological privilege. In other words, the way has become the goal, with all the inherent (sub)cultural consequences arising from this.
The theme of the exhibition proposed by Many Colors Association focuses on the genuine verbal communication, taking place off-line, on colloquialism, psychological probing, empathy, intuition, and the inner world - the one built on non-virtual foundations.
Many Colors selects the participants in its projects based on an internal algorithm, inviting artists whose works are in consonance with the intents of the project promoters. Thus, for the artists who decide to accept the invitation, the problem of finding a common ground is already superfluous, although the participants are always extremely different in point of experience, techniques and views.
“Facets of Hyperconnectivity” is a project financed by EEA Grants 2009-2014, Program PA17/RO13-Promotion of diversity in culture and arts within European cultural heritage (www.fonduri-diversitate.ro). The grant has been offered by Norway,Iceland,Liechtenstein and the Government of Romania.
