  Romanian artist Matei Bejenaru takes part in the first Artist Platform at Tate Modern's Level 2 Gallery. His contribution, called Impreuna/Together, is an exclusive project featuring Romanian migrant workers in the UK. The project gathered 250 members of the Romanian community in the UK in front of the gallery in early September. The action was caught on camera, and a short film will be screened at the Level 2 Gallery on 8 and 9 September 2007. 
  The project is a follow up to Bejenaru's artwork Travelling Guide, which includes information about the Romanians who had sought to work illegally in the UK before Romania joined the EU. The Travelling Guide will feature in the Level 2 Gallery group exhibition The Irresistible Force, which opens on 20 September 2007. 
   
  Matei Bejenaru is an artist and the founder and artistic director of Periferic Biennial in Iasi, Romania. His art projects in recent years have focused on the situation of Romanian nationals who live and work abroad. In 2005, he conceived a Travelling Guide for Romanian illegal workers, shown in 2006 at Thyssen-Bornemisza Contemporary Art in Vienna and in 2007 at the Prague Biennial 3 and at the Galeria Posibila in Bucharest. 
   
  Impreuna/Together is a project by Tate Modern in collaboration with the Romanian Cultural Institute in London.
