Tell us about Anca Poterașu.

Anca Poterașu Gallery is a contemporary art gallery established in 2011, Bucharest, aiming to support contemporary Romanian artists. The gallery shows both well established and young artists, active in various media – painting, drawing, art-objects, installation, photography and video-art. The exhibition programme is centered on curatorial practices that encourages collaborations with art practitioners from across the country and from all over the world. In 2015, the gallery initiated an international exhibition residency programme – Plantelor 58 – for artists and curators from around the world, establishing a sustainable platform for cooperation. Anca Poterasu Gallery aims to further develop the international visibility of its artists through cooperation with other xgalleries and institutions. Based on the previous success of the curatorial project space programme, run between 2018-2019 in the Spinnerei, Leipzig, the gallery continues to develop the concept of the “nomad gallery”, intending to open different project spaces around Europe.

Agir dans son lieu is a collective research and conversation project designed to make visible a set of choices that have major repercussions within the living world. To make visible those who act in their place as best they can. The works manifest the ways in which all bodies (human and more-than-human) are heavily affected by a system governed by the law of exploitation. Through their works and actions, the artists also demonstrate the places of resistance, the joyful perspectives in which everyone is engaged in their place.
