Alina Mardare's Art

Cum vii dinspre Suceava, prin Gura Humorului, virezi stanga catre Frasin. La capatul oraselului “Frasin” este manastirea. Ridicata pe un loc deosebit de frumos intre culmi de munte. Aer curat, o noapte instelata, greieri, parfum de tamaie si cantari ingeresti… Si, ca sa nu uit, in ziua hramului pelerinii sunt intampinati cu bucate alese, proaspat gatite. Doua feluri de mancare din care nu lipseste ciorba de peste, desertul, vin si mai ales apa rece de izvor. Vorba cantecului: “Romanasului ii place/Sus la munte, sus la munte la izvor/Liber si sa fie-n pace/Al naturii, al naturii domnitor”…

Manastirea isi serbeaza hramul de doua ori pe an la 6 august de “Schimbarea La Fata A Domnului” si la 1 septembrie de “Sf. Simeon Stalpnicul”.

So, I’m convinced that The Magazine PPP (PointsPointPoints) really exists. A new generation of artists “produced” by the local art university (The University of Arts, Iasi), proved that their project exists vividly. Today I witnessed the launching show of the first DVD edition called “Real Space VS Virtual Space”. The DVD presents new media artistic projects containing audio and video performances, video manipulation and some video documentation, interviews. Surprisingly the editors, visual artists themselves, hired a professional speaker (an actor) to comment and animate the presentation. And this is a very well thinking act of combining arts since the magazine succinct presentation combined arts, itself. Also the ‘public’ (must say that today the public was formed only by “les connaisseurs” of art and contemporary art) was allowed to contribute with a short moment of Performance . I’ll share more about the artists presented in this edition only if I’ll find some of their projects on Youtube and/or only if I’ll be allowed to publish them further. Until then see The Pic Of The Day:

The About Art Conference “Outside The Art System” by Zdenka Badovinac (Moderna Galerija, Ljubljana) took place today in Iaşi (România) at The University of Arts (Visual Arts Faculty). The organiser who bears the “guilt” , for emerging art culture events in Iasi, is Ph.D lecturer Cristian Nae who teaches “Politics of Identity in Eastern-European art after 1989″. The main subject was focused on early avant-garde movements in Yugoslavia (’60 – ‘70 – ‘80). Some groups like Gorgona and OHO were displayed and analyzed related to the international art context.
