GALERIA VECTOR din Iasi (str. Cuza Voda, nr. 41, etaj 1)

va invita MIERCURI, 22 NOIEMBRIE 2006, ORA 18,00 la deschiderea expozitiei:



FIGHT!

o instalatie multi-media realizata de

Liliana BASARAB & Costel CHIRILA

FIGHT! comenteaza cinic invazia vizuala a unei interpelari de strada si
simuleaza ironic o contralovitura de arta. In oras, vedem pe stalpi, pe
garduri sau pe cladiri afise care cheama la initieri promise in artele
martiale. In filme, vedem lupte abundente si hiper-realiste intre personaje
celebre si figuranti anonimi. Cultura urbana si industria cinematografica
reproduc surplusuri violente de adrenalina si simuleaza situatii excesive de
putere. In lumea artei asistam la lupte intre generatii si conflicte intre
conventii. La escaladarea opozitiilor dintre cei care vorbesc despre
initiere, calcand peste cadavre, si cei care s-au saturat de scenarii prost
scrise, setting-uri instalate dupa reguli si distributii falsificate. Cu
toate acestea, lupta ramane indecisa si aparent e inutila. Expozitia e un
comentariu social si artistic, caricatural si satiric, cinic si ironic, pe
de o parte asupra inflatiei de imagini si sloganuri din artele martiale,
care apar in strada si in filme, iar pe de alta parte asupra regulilor
exacte de expunere muzeala, pe baza carora se pretind ca ar ajunge sa
configureze stiinta arhivarii tematice. Lucrarea video din aceasta
instalatie multimedia mixeaza elemente de actiune si interpreteaza momente
din istoria picturii. Dincolo de agresivitatea promotionala a strazii, de
productia violentei patologice din industria cinematografica si de hemoragia
cvasi-conflictelor din lumea ingusta a artelor se afla un scenariu
bulversant cu un final deja consumat.


Liliana BASARAB, artist vizual, traieste si lucreaza in Iasi. A facut parte
din promotia 2005-2006 a programului de rezidenta Le Pavillon, unitatea
pedagogica a Palais de Tokyo, Paris, Franta.

Costel CHIRILA, artist vizual, traieste si lucreaza in Iasi. A absolvit
Universitatea de Arte "G. Enescu" din Iasi, promotia 2006; este
co-organizator, impreuna cu Ioan Pricop, al minifestivalului de performance
si actiuni de strada "Azi 12".



Expozitia se defasoara in cadrul proiectului curatorial "PERSONAL LOCAL
SETTINGS. Tineri artisti in context", o serie de evenimente de arta
contemporana produse in cadrul proiectului de cultura sociala cARTier
finantat de Programul Cultural Elvetian in Romania - Pro Helvetia SDC.
Proiectul "PERSONAL LOCAL SETTINGS" este gandit in directia (in)formarii
unei platforme de promovare a artei tinerilor artisti ieseni in contextul
necesitatii de a scana, a inregistra si, eventual, a reconfigura noile
moduri de situare, de creativitate si de comunicare ale generatiei tinere.

Incepand cu sfarsitul lunii octombrie 2006, pana spre finalul lunii
februarie 2007, Galeria Vector va organiza o serie de evenimente de arta
contemporana avand ca invitati tineri artisti locali interesati sa isi
expuna punctele de vedere asupra conditiilor producerii relatiilor lor cu
diferite sisteme fata de care isi seteaza propriile optiuni personale.



Urmatorul eveniment din cadrul proiectului "PERSONAL LOCAL SETTINGS" se va
desfasura pe 06 decembrie 2006 si ii va avea ca invitati pe Dan BASU,
Daniela PALIMARIU si SILENT STRIKE.

FIGHT!

a multi-media installation by

Liliana BASARAB si Costel CHIRILA



FIGHT! is cynically commenting the visual invasion of a street
interpellation and is ironically simulating an art counter-stroke. In the
city, on the pillars, on the fences or on the buildings walls we can
see posters
that are calling us to promised initiations in the Martial Arts. In movies,
we can see abundant and hyper-realist fights between celeb characters and
anonymous. Urban culture and cinema industry are reproducing violent
surpluses of adrenaline and simulates excessive situations of power. In the
art world, we assists to fights between generations, conflicts between
conventions, and oppositions between those that are talking about
initiation, the same that are stepping on the dead bodies, and those who are
tired of bad written scenarios, normatively installed settings and
counterfeited distributions. Nevertheless, the fight is undecided an
apparently futile. The exhibition is a socially and artistically comment, a
caricatured and satirical, a cynical and ironical one, on the inflation of
images and slogans in the imagery of Martial Arts, and on the other hand on
the exact rules of museum kind of display, on the basis of whom it is
pretending that there could be configured a science of a thematically
archiving practice. The video work from this multimedia installation is
mixing elements of action and interprets moments from the painting history.
Beyond the promotional aggression from the street, the production of
pathological violence from the cinema industry and the hemorrhage of the
quasi-conflicts from the narrow artworld, there is a puzzled scenario with
an already consumed end.
