Tell us about MNTRplusC.
MNTRplusC, opened in 2021, is a space for contemporary art and social dialog, located in the basement of the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant, initiated and coordinated in an artist-run system by artist Ilina Schileru. The MNTRplusC program questions stereotypes related to rurality in relation to urbanity and ageism and focuses on identifying the cultural imprints on the periphery of society (and of consumption) and reconsidering them through the prism of artistic experience, and through curatorial and research approach.
What do you have upcoming?
The exhibition "About oneself, crosses and others" is the first insert in the series micro-histories, micro-memories, within a project co-funded by AFCN at MNȚRplusC. The author of the exhibition, Mircea Modreanu, is a visual artist with concerns in the space of volumetry both topographic and anthropomorphic. He comes with a proposal affectively resolved by personal path (micro-memories) - a soft-memory that he recomposes in a simulacrum of hard memory (sculptural objects in installation), in the artist-run space in the basement of the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant - the reproduction on a scale of 1: 1 of the crosses examined by the artist over a research period of several years, carried out also in the heart of the community of the ”momârlani” in Petroșani, through the technique of rubbing on paper, inserted in plexiglass frames.
