violenÈÄ Èi abuz asupra femeilor.
Ãn cadrul expoziÈiei va fi programatÄ Èi o searÄ Ãn care vor fi prezentate

Momentum 2 a luat fiinÅÄ din dorinÅa de a determina introducerea unui
segment tematic Ãn rÃndul practicilor artistice din RomÃnia - formele de
violenÅÄ Åi abuz asupra femeilor -, un subiect ocolit Ãn arta contemporanÄ
autohtonÄ din diverse raÅiuni. Una dintre ele pare a fi legatÄ de
gravitatea Åi disconfortul pe care astfel de problematici le ridicÄ Ãntr-o
culturÄ care ÃmbinÄ prejudecÄÅi legate de relaÅiile dintre genuri Ãn care
violenÅa devine normÄ cu mecanismele culturii de consum Ãn care violenÅa
serveÅte politicilor de marketing. Pe de o parte violenÅa Åi abuzul sunt
receptate ca fenomene private, iar pe de alta sunt subiecte de tip
spectacol pe care publicul le consumÄ ca atare. Acestea sunt de fapt
fenomene sociale cu implicaÅii morale, fizice Åi psihice care trebuie
reglate la nivel legislativ, prin politici de stat care sÄ combatÄ astfel
de abateri comportamentale. Presiunile externe, cÃt Åi cele ale
organizaÅiilor nonguvernamentale din ÅarÄ au determinat ca abia Ãn 2012 sÄ
fie promulgatÄ o lege Ãmpotriva violenÅei domestice. ÃnsÄ dificultÄÅile
aparatului de implementare Åi limitele de mentalitate menÅin fenomenul
violenÅei asupra femeilor la cote ridicate. La nivel internaÅional una din
trei femei este victimÄ a violenÅei sau unei forme de abuz.

Artistele Åi artiÅtii implicaÅi Ãn acest proiect s-au raportat la subiect
Ãn moduri diferite, unele alusive altele directe. LucrÄrile reflectÄ
atitudini, poveÅti personale extinse cÄtre poveÅti colective, forme de
criticÄ socialÄ extrem de necesare Ãn societatea actualÄ.

Aiurart Contemporary Art Space and Experimental Project Association
presents a new episode of MOMENTUM project for which artists are invited to
work around the issues of violence and abuse against women. The curatorial
intention is to challenge the artists to find various ways of conceptual
and visual approach, from trenchant to subtle solutions, using any
technique from painting and drawing to installation and video art.
The exhibition will include an evening dedicated to the presentation of the
video productions from the first episode Momentum in 2013 and a video of a
special invited French artist, Veronique Sapin.



Momentum 2 emerged from a desire to determine the insertion of a thematic
segment within art practices in Romania - forms of violence and abuse
against women - a topic avoided in local contemporary art for various
reasons. One of them seems to be related to the severity and discomfort
such issues raise in a culture that combines prejudices concerning gender
relations in which violence becomes the norm with the mechanisms of
consumer culture in which violence serves marketing policies. On one hand,
violence and abuse are perceived as private phenomena, and on the other
they are show type subjects consumed by the public as such. They are in
fact social phenomena with moral, physical and mental implications to be
regulated at the legislative level, through state policies that combat such
behavioral deviations. External pressures and those of non-governmental
organizations in the country have determined that only in 2012 to be
promulgated a law against domestic violence. However, implementation
difficulties and mentality limitations keep violence against women at high
levels. Internationally one in three women is a victim of violence or a
form of abuse.

Women artists and male artists involved in this project have related to the
subject in different ways, some allusive other more direct. The works
reflect attitudes, personal stories extended to collective ones, forms of
social criticism extremely necessary in today's society.
