[Nettime-ro] Finisajul expozitiei Raluca Popa - Turning Something Plain into a Circle, sambata 5 septembrie


Raluca Popa

Turning Something Plain into a Circle

(for English scroll down)



Dragi prieteni, Galeria Ivan va invita sambata 5 septembrie 2015, intre 6-9 PM, la finisajul expozitiei Raluca Popa: Turning Something Plain into a Circle. Este totodata si ultima ocazie de a (re)vizita expozitia Paul Neagu: Blind Bite la etajul galeriei.

Turning Something Plain into a Circle este primul solo show al Ralucai Popa, care prezinta in acest context instalatii noi, site-specific, cu elemente extrase din istoria sa personala si revizitate prin mijloacele practicii sale artistice. Raluca Popa lucreaza desen, fotografie, video si animatie, in proiecte ce transfera volum si temporalitate unor medii statice, 2D, precum gravura si desenul.

In demersul actual, Raluca Popa deturneaza semnificatia si statutul unor exercitii trecute, prin gesturi simple care rastoarna perceptia si genereaza perspective neasteptate. Fragmente anacronice in timp si spatiu - un autoportret din 1998, o monotipie din 2001, copacul de la fereastra atelierului sau din 2015 - sunt conectate in prezent printr-un intim proces autoreflexiv. Popa isi apropriaza propriile lucrari si problematizeaza astfel criteriile uzuale de selectie artistica, prin decizia de a relua si de a expune incercari aparent neinsemnate, stangace, totodata relevante pentru parcursul sau formatorâartistic. Ea alege sa faca vizibile urmele, ramasitele, indiciile unor proiecte inexistente sau absente, intr-o directie inversa lucrului in atelier, ce invoca tensiunea dintre original si proiectie, dintre scop si rezultat. 


Raluca Popa (n. 1979) a studiat la Byam Shaw School of Art / Central Saint Martins (Londra) si Universitatea de Arta si Design (Cluj). Traieste si lucreaza in Bucuresti.

Dear friends, Ivan Gallery has the pleasure to invite you Saturday 5th of September, between 6-9 PM, at the closing event of Raluca Popaâs exhibition, Turning Something Plain into a Circle. It is also the last chance to (re)visit the Paul Neagu: Blind Bite exhibition at the first floor of the gallery.


Turning Something Plain into a Circle is Raluca Popaâs first solo show, presenting new, site-specific installations made of personal history items, revisited in this context through the means of her artistic practice. Raluca Popa works drawing, photography, video and animation in projects that render volume and time to static, 2D media, such as etching and drawing.

Her present approach diverts the meaning and status of past exercises through simple gestures that revert perception and generate unexpected perspectives. The artist connects in time and space anachronistic fragments through an intimate self-reflexive process: a 1998 self-portrait, a 2001 monotype, the tree from her 2015 studioâs window. Popa appropriates her own works, questioning the general criteria for artistic selection through her decision to resume and show apparently insignificant, clumsy attempts, that are at the same time relevant for her artistic training. She chooses to make visible the traces, the remains, the clues of some inexistent or absent projects, through a counter studio practice that conveys the thine line between original and projection, aim and outcome.



Raluca Popa (b. 1979) studied at Byam Shaw School of Art / Central Saint Martins (London) and University of Art and Design (Cluj). She lives and works in Bucharest.
