The Weaving Process: from Sketching to Weaving

With Andreea Stănilă, Claudia-Maria Davidescu, Delia Bratanof, Elena Dumitrescu, Elena Iancu, Ioana Macovei Ciuciulica, Iris Tudorache, Maria Dinu, Maria Mihai & Toma Tudorică

Curated by Iulia Toma

The exhibition brings together the works of ten students from the first and second year of the Bachelor's and Master's degree courses in Textile Arts and Textile Design at the National University of Art, Bucharest. The project is coordinated by the artist Iulia Toma, who selected the works and developed the exhibition concept. The starting point for each creation was a sketch, which later developed into textile works, fabric and tapestries depicting the female silhouette, realized in various techniques such as printing and weaving. The textile thread developed the original idea, while maintaining the plasticity of the drawing. The exhibition will take place in the new space adjacent to the Ivan Gallery.

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.
