Atelier 35

Guided Tour

What Knots Knot Knots

With Ioana Mincu
This exhibition recontextualizes nature as both sanctuary and force, a presence that nurtures and consumes in equal measure. Through her multidisciplinary practice, Mincu resists conventional dualism, instead offering a vision of radical entanglement, where all forms of life—organic, technological, and fantastical—exist in a state of perpetual flux. “My favorite game as a child was lying on the grass, imagining myself as small as an insect, trying to capture all the minuscule details of the world around me, until my eyes hurt.” Within the infamous setting of Atelier 35, Mincu creates a space where decomposition becomes revelation. Layers are stripped away to expose the deep-rooted structures of life, whether in the microscopic sensuality of insects captured in her video work or in fever-dream landscapes where human-built environments succumb to creeping tendrils of organic matter. We invite you to join us for this provoking exhibition, where boundaries dissolve into a vision of interconnected existence.

Tell us about Atelier 35.

The history of Atelier 35 dates back to 1970. The concept was materialized by the Artist’s Union, realizing a network of spaces dedicated to experimental art and young artists in the big cities of Romania. The number 35 was considered at the time to be the conventional limit of youth. Nowadays, Atelier 35 is still an unconventional space that supports contemporary art and young artists, but under this name we recognize only one space, located in the old center of Bucharest. The notoriety of 35 is defined by the historical value of the concept and by the artists who debuted in this place. The gallery’s activity is always diversified by the initiative and concept of the artists occupying the space, alternating between personal or group exhibitions, conferences and artist talks, managing to maintain the activity monthly.
