With Lucian Barbu & Giulia Crețulescu & Roberta Curcă
Curated by Iulia Vlad
Sketches, drawings, notes, marks, and papers in the artists’ studios possess a quiet allure. They are a glimpse into a very personal and unfiltered space, one that feels less like an intrusion and more like a genuine encounter with the artist’s practice. Sight becomes insight, as the image turns autonomous and differentiated, regardless of its part in a “finished work”. Centering the sketch and drawing, the exhibition tracks moments in the artists’ conceptual and creative processes. The works are presented alongside their physical counterparts, extracted from the studio - stencils, paper models, crayon residue, and notebooks - , highlighting the relationship between thought and form, between idea and execution.

Tell us about Zina Gallery.

Zina is a contemporary art gallery founded in 2020 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, supporting multidisciplinary emerging artists. The gallery balances between exhibiting represented artists and hosting curated projects, aiming to provide ongoing support for the local and regional contemporary scene, as well as to promote our programme internationally. The gallery’s collective encourages collaborative work, with artists taking charge of the curation or art direction decisions. Focusing on new generations of artists with shared visions, who address present-day issues of gender, ecology or technology, whereas employing a highly expansive range of mediums, Zina is looking to expand and foster a fluid, innovative artistic circuit. Recently, The Zina Project Space venue has been opened as an appendix to the gallery, designed to host alternative and experimental projects that accompany the gallery’s programme.
