Tell us about /SAC @ MINCU GALLERY.
MINCU Gallery – Metropolitan Institute of Culture. One of the most important exhibition spaces in downtown Bucharest, located on the ground floor of “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urbanism. On Academiei Street, no. 20. A series of spaces and courtyards that create a spatial narrative with its own distinct character. A gallery open at both ends toward the university’s main lobby and the Cărturești Modul bookstore, configured around a rhythmic succession of picture rails oriented toward the portico’s glass facade. “Pocket Hall” connected on opposite sides to the interior courtyards, in a sequence of transparencies that holds together the major spaces of the UAUIM ground floor. Two directions of transparency. One perpendicular to Academiei Street and one parallel to the axis of the portico’s columns. Solid exhibition perimeters and glazed planes that lend depth to each individual spatial “episode.” Three large-scale movable structures and the grid of lights on the ceiling of the “Pocket Hall” multiply the possibilities for use and reconfiguration of exhibition modes (methods). The gallery collaborates with the UAUIM portico and the Cărturești Modul bookstore to form an integrated multifunctional complex where each component can redefine its role based on program elements (redefining the boundaries between exhibition space, public space, common space, bookstore, and courtyards). The gallery can extend into the portico and the bookstore; the bookstore can occupy the gallery’s adjacent space for book launches. Both can extend into the portico along with the café area. The portico connects to the exhibition space through large-scale glazing. Powered by /SAC, The Institute, Cărturești. Sponsored by Holver, Almalux, Color Metal, Siniat, Caparol, Anvelope.ro.
