/SAC @ Malmaison

“Șantier”(construction site) is Dumitru Gorzo’s fourth exhibition at /SAC and the sixth collaboration we have developed together over the past decade. Although I have always felt more naturally inclined toward curating group exhibitions rather than solo shows, I find myself entirely at ease doing so for an artist whose practice I have followed so closely. This long-term collaboration has also offered me a privileged perspective on how, in Gorzo’s work, the notion of the “construction site” becomes a metaphor for a practice in a constant state of experimentation, and how he often transforms the exhibition space—imbued with the rigor/structure and force/disruption of an actual site—into a living studio, as seen in the Continuous Studio series. -Alex Radu
