Stranded Objects

With Andrei Arion
Andrei Arion views his artworks as tools, each specifically crafted for a unique purpose. The influences of his childhood games and activities can be seen in these creations, synthesized into new objects. Often, a work can be traced back to a defining moment or element that played a significant role in Arion’s life, alternatively, he might recall a memory and create an object around it. One of the defining characteristics of Arion's work is the use of sharp corners and edges. These elements give his art a tangible sense of awareness, making them stand out and beckon for attention. They serve to enhance the viewer's engagement, drawing them into the world that Arion has created and challenging them to understand the purpose behind each piece.

Tell us about Atelierele Scânteia.

Atelierele Scânteia is an artists' hub run by artists, managed and designed to provide affordable long-term, high-ceilinged and bright spaces suitable for artists' sudios and exhibition spaces. We're located in one of Bucharest's most iconic buildings, The House of the Free Press, which initially was named Casa Scânteii. The project was initiated in 2023 by SwitchLab alongside a couple of visual artists and Galeria Posibilă. Within Atelierele Scânteia there are 12 artist studios (Elena Bădiulescu; Dumitrița Răzlog; Mischa Blanos - Cristi Cons; Michele Bressan - Dani Ghercă - Nicu Ilfoveanu - Alexandru Paul; Vlad Albu; Clara Caradimu - Teodor Georgescu; Roxana Morar - Anca Tintea; Teodora Gavrilă - Cladiu Lazăr - Luciana Zeca; Andrei Arion; Albert Kaan and Andrei Predescu) and 3 exhibition spaces (SwitchLab, Galeria Posibilă and Calciu Space).
