Vernisage: Mirror for The Full Moon

0 Comments


Join us in celebrating the vernisage of Andrei Gamarț’s MIRROR FOR THE FULL MOON on May 12th, starting at 7 p.m., at Mobius Gallery, on #2 Mendeleev Street.
 
Mobius Gallery proudly announces the opening of Mirror for The Full Moon, a solo show by Andrei Gamarț, curated by Răzvan Ion.
 
For the last few years, Andrei Gamarț has dedicated his work to an intense study upon the relationship among matter, light, and memory. Andrei Gamarț canvases reveal fractures of a world that seems out of time and space, sending off an unsettleting sense of eerie familiarity that the viewer can never quite identify or define. The artist envisions works that leave the viewer free to build up her or his own narrative expectations.
 
"Mirror for The Full Moon is a concise analysis of the work of Andrei Gamart, work that recalls Ferenczi and the concept of countertransference. Here, a clear countertransference between Gamart's imagination and the reality of his pieces sends you into a profound introspection of the ego.
 
For Andrei Gamart the idea of finding the path to the self is primarily one of radical self-transformation, an experience in which human identity is not static and knowledge is uncertain, and both are subject to constant reassessment and change. This attempt at gaining identity and knowledge leads to the accumulation and spreading of information. In the words of Derrida - a play of différance. But the disclosure of identity is limited by self-constraint, by the "granite layer of spiritual fate", by "predetermined" responses to questions, and by an unchanging attitude of "this is me" – all decreed as untouchable "convictions" belonging to depths of the soul. The study is fixed on the concept of "learning to figure things out". The self is a manufactured construct that has been taught how to limit learning/further study. Criticism of these limitations therefore offers us a theory of escape.
 
Gamart provides an aesthetic and visual analysis of the limitations of a possible escape. The subconscious darkness.” (Răzvan Ion, curator)
 
Andrei Gamarț (b. 1980, Moldova Republic) graduated in 2004 with MA in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts, Chisinau. Gamarț masters painting, drawing, and engraving technique. He was exhibited in art spaces from Bucharest and Chisinau. Gamarț is also a writer and a poet. He lives and works in Bucharest.
 
Răzvan Ion is a theoretician, curator, cultural manager and art advisor. He co-founder of the BUCHAREST BIENNALE – Bucharest International Biennial for Contemporary Art, and was director of PAVILION – the center for contemporary art and culture (2008-2014).
 
He served as associate professor at The University of California –Berkley; Lisbon University; Central University of New York; University of London; Sofia University; University of Kiev; etc. He has held conferences and lectures at a large number of art institutions like Witte de With, Rotterdam; Kunsthalle Vienna; Art in General, New York; rum46, Aarhus; Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon; la Casa Encedida, Madrid; New Langton, San Francisco; Cca, Tbilisi; ’Babes-Bolyai’ University, Cluj-Napoca; The University of Art, Cluj Napoca; etc. He collaborates as a writer for different publications and he recently curated ’From Contemplating to Constructing Situations’ and ’Exploring the Return of Repression’ at PAVILION, Bucharest and rum46, Aarhus. He is a professor at the University of Bucharest where he teaches Curatorial Studies and a course on Critical Thinking.
