[Nettime-ro] Un animal politic/A Political Animal, Paraschiv&Gaspar, MNTR, joi 26 aprilie, h.19.30


Un animal politic - Christian Paraschiv & Cristi Gaspar 
ExpoziÈia de la Muzeul 
ÈÄtanului RomÃn care reuneÈte lucrÄrile artiÈtilor Christian Paraschiv 
Èi Cristian GaÈpar ÃÈi asumÄ apelul la conÈtiinÈa politicÄ, adresÃnd 
ÃntrebÄri despre trecut Èi prezent, despre comunism Èi capitalism, 
despre laÈitate Èi curaj, despre ârezistenÈa prin culturÄâ Èi rezistenÈa prin âmaÈâ, despre cine am fost Èi cine mai suntem. Christian 
Paraschiv, un nume important al artei contemporane, interzis Ãn RomÃnia 
ÃncepÃnd cu 1982 Èi exilat la Paris ÃncepÃnd cu anul 1986, se numÄrÄ 
printre puÈinii artiÈti romÃni care ÃÈi recunosc angajamentul politic 
din discursul artistic, prin recurenÈa simbolurilor comuniste asociate 
unor elemente concrete care au definit limitele sociale, culturale Èi 
religioase ale societÄÈii de dinainte de 1990. LucrÄrile lui Cristian 
GaÈpar completeazÄ tabloul generic al confruntÄrii trecut/prezent, care 
nu ascunde nicio realitate conflictualÄ, ci mai degrabÄ, o continuitate 
fireascÄ a unei societÄÈi care nu s-a transformat esenÈial Ãn absenÈa 
unui proces de analizÄ serioasÄ asupra destinului sÄu de pÃnÄ Ãn 
prezent. Olivia NiÈiÈ

A political animal - Christian Paraschiv & Cristi Gaspar 
The exhibition at the National 
Romanian Peasant Museum brings together works by Christian Paraschiv and Cristian GaÈpar taking on the appeal to political consciousness, asking questions about past and present, about communism and capitalism, about cowardice and courage, about "resistance through culture" and 
resistance by "gut", about who we were and who we are. Christian 
Paraschiv, an important name in contemporary art, banned in Romania 
since 1982 and exiled in Paris since 1986, is among the few Romanian 
artists who recognize their political commitment in their art discourse, through the repetition of communist symbols associated with real 
elements that defined the social, cultural and religious limits of the 
society before 1990. Cristian GaÈpar's work complements the overall 
pattern of the past / present confrontation without hiding any 
conflictual reality, but rather a natural continuation of a society 
which did not undergo an essential transformation in the absence of a 
serious analysis over its fate so far. Olivia NiÈiÈ 
Opening: Thu, April 26, 2012,  19.30 hours
