Bye-Bye Confidence

With Iulia Toma, Ross Taylor, Mădălina Zaharia, Simona Runcan & Gravil Pop
Bye-Bye Confidence is a group exhibition with works by Iulia Toma, Ross Taylor, Mădălina Zaharia, Simona Runcan, Gavril Pop. The assembled things come apart, unravel, reunite and get reassigned, or, as the protagonists of Mădălina Zaharia's film would put it, in the form of a manifesto-incantation: "Confidence, we were never really friends and by the look of things, we most probably never will be".

Tell us about Ivan.

Ivan Gallery is a contemporary art gallery opened in 2007 in Bucharest as a private initiative of Marian Ivan. The gallery’s programme focuses on local artists, be it established ones, such as Geta Brătescu, Paul Neagu, Ion Grigorescu, Lia Perjovschi, as well as from the younger generation, such as the duo Anca Benera & Arnold Estefan, Cristina David, Ștefan Sava and Iulia Toma. The gallery also collaborates with Romanian artists living and working abroad, such as Bartha Sandor and Mădălina Zaharia, as well as foreign artists like Elijah Burgher, Ross Taylor and Jaro Varga. The gallery aims at supporting the career of artists with an articulate, conceptual artistic discourse, while at the same time researching and exhibiting internationally the experimental practice of insufficiently known Romanian artists from the second part of the 20th century, such as Simona Runcan and Florina Coulin. In 2021 Ivan Gallery opened a new exhibition space inside Atelierele Malmaison.
