NOTHING HERE Charcoal drawing – solo exhibition Artist: Denis Nanciu Curator: Ilina Schileru Opening: March 12, 18:00–21:00 Exhibition: March 12–30 Visiting hours: Wednesday–Sunday, 15:00–18:00 MNȚRplusC presents NOTHING HERE, a drawing exhibition by Denis Nanciu, developed during his artistic residency at the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant. The exhibition brings together works created in the museum’s basement studio space beneath the cinema hall. Through large-scale charcoal drawings, Nanciu explores themes of negation, metamorphosis, and identity. His imagery moves between humanoid and animal forms, suggesting fluid bodies in continuous transformation. Text fragments—sometimes resembling Morse code—appear within the drawings, reinforcing a recurring vocabulary of negation: No. I don’t know. Nothing. Cryptic and open-ended, the works invite viewers to question what appears visible and to reflect on identity as a shifting, unstable form.
