Matei Bejenaru
Impreuna/Together 2007
Performance and video installation

This performance and video installation was devised by Romanian artist Matei
Bejenaru, working with a number of Romanian community groups in London. The
composition of the figures evokes Socialist Realism, juxtaposed with the
banks and financial institutions of the City in the background. In this way,
Impreuna/Together reflects on the dramatic changes in Romanian society since
the overthrow of the Communist state in 1989. The inclusion of all
generations in the performance becomes a way of sharing memories,
experiences and possibilities for the future.

'Impreuna/Together deals with the visibility of the Romanian community in
UK', Bejenaru has said. 'It is about the way people can be united around a
positive idea and the way they can express this in simple gestures. More
than 200 people meet in one place and look together in silence at the
camera. Many of them didn't know each other before. Their looks talk to us
about their identity, about their past and present.'

Bejenaru's work is included in the upcoming Level 2 Gallery exhibition The
Irresistible Force.

Free admission

documenta 12 magazines
How can one define one's project in a rapidly shifting context, in an
expanding cultural economy that produces new value systems and hierarchies
faster than the rhythm of critical apprehension?

This panel discussion gathering Romanian artists, curators, writers and
editors of Vector magazine will try to give an account of different
practices in a context that is undergoing ideological confusion, neo-liberal
and social changes.

With Mihnea Mircan (curator, Bucharest) and editors of *Vector* magazine:
Matei Bejenaru, Catalin Gheorghe and Cristian Nae
