We are pleased to invite you on Thursday, May 8, at 19:00, at the end of the exhibition "Urban Echoes: Deconstructing Imagery of The City", on the occasion of DoiJoi. The exhibition brings together four participants of last year's "Staging Dis/order" workshop, led by artists Lina Ivanova and Alexander Rosenkranz, as part of the "Expanded Spatialities" exhibition organized by 2/3 Gallery. Visitors are invited to reconsider their relationship with the urban environment, challenging perceptions of familiar city spaces or situations. The artists' works deconstruct conventional images of Bucharest, generating layered and abstracted interpretations that reflect the histories and possible future scenarios inscribed in the urban fabric. The 2024 workshop aimed to encourage the participants (Albert Kaan, Dumitrița Razlog, Emma Diaconița, Ioana Dumitrescu, Iulia Dana Băceanu, Mihai Costache, Mihai Rotaru, Rafael Stoica, Ramona Aristide, Teodora Rotaru, Vitaly Yankovy) to explore the surroundings of gallery 2/3 and share their collective knowledge of Bucharest, reflecting on their relationship with these spaces. Using the eclecticism of the city's architectural styles as a backdrop, they took part in a series of exercises aimed at familiarizing the participants with the concept of "expanded photography". They developed new strategies for approaching the city as a photographic subject, encouraging the broadening of the meaning of photography by including sculptural or performative elements, through technical experimentation or play.
