PAVILION UNICREDIT /for English please scroll down EXPLORING THE RETURN OF REPRESSION 2 dialoguriAlex Mirutziu si Sebastian Moldovan vor dialoga cu Razvan Ion in 6 si 7 Octombrie 2009 in PAVILION UNICREDIT, in cadrul proiectului EXPLORING THE RETURN OF REPRESSION.
PROGRAM (evenimentele se vor desfasura in limba romana) 06 October, 19.00Alex Mirutziu in dialog cu Razvan Ion : HEAVEN KNOWS I FEEL MISERABLE TODAY
"Nu am uitat toate imaginile romantice ale iubitilor, eroilor, jucariilor si fetisurilor. Eu sunt pe deplin constient ca tacerea e tensiune. In tacere tipatul doare, devine constient, fanatic. Ceea ce ma provoaca e imposibilitatea de a-mi gasi interioritatea din afara, de a-mi putea inventa o locuire, un spatiu necesar." (Alex Mirutziu)
"Mirutziu propune o reinventie a abuzului prin propria sa re- interpretare si recontextualizare a situatiei sale. In lume. Aceeasi care l-a abuzat si continua sa o faca, precum si el o face. Este un joc erotic cu societatea, un schimb seminal Ãntre prada si pradator, un joc al vanatorii, un scurt eseu vanatoresc." (Razvan Ion) O discutie despre arta, queer policy, sexualitate, politica, Romania, Anglia si celelalte povesti.

07 October, 19.00Sebastian Moldovan in dialog cu Razvan Ion : O ROSIE ARE INTOTDEAUNA NEVOIE DE UN BASTON
Gradina ta de rosii, dorinta ta de a crea un spatiu de creatie divina, planta careia nu ii poti controla evolutia, tu care exploatezi aproape obsedant perfectiunea in instalatiile si obiectele tale. Pare nevoia de a lasa macar o data la voia intamplarii dezvoltarea operei tale. insa te opresti la proiect, la schita de ansamblu. Va deveni pana la urma o realitate curajul subconstient al lipsei de control?
Spatiul de creatie divina este pentru mine un spatiu de rearanjare (divin de naturala) a elementelor intr-un sistem. Il gasesc benefic pentru ca pot sa invat despre aceasta rearanjare si pot sa intervin / interactionez cu ea - pana la urma asta fac eu ca artist: rearanjez elemente in diferite sisteme - constient de numarul infinit de interactiuni intre parti, constient ca nu pot sa le controlez sau macar sa le cunosc pe toate. De aceea tind sa ma intorc la o lucrare de multe ori inainte sa spun gata. Pe de alta parte, am inteles un lucru foarte important: daca e sa compar o lucrare cu un sistem ale carui elemente interactioneaza, atunci e destul sa gasesc un numar (mic) de elemente pe care le pot controla, sa alcatuiesc sistemul si sa-i dau drumul in lume - el urmand sa evolueze in modul cel mai natural, interactionand cu alte sisteme - vezi public, critica, vanzari, notorietate sau cutremure si inundatii.. Asta e teoria mea care se verifica cu "End of Paris" - lucrarea m-a parasit de cativa ani si a evoluat in directii pe care nu le-am dictat si poate nici nu le cunosc. (Extras dintr-un dialog realizat de Razvan Ion cu Sebastian Moldovan pentru PAVILION - journal for politics and culture, 2009)

--- EXPLORING THE RETURN OF REPRESSION 2 dialoguesAlex Mirutziu and Sebastian Moldovan are in dialogue with Razvan Ion on 6th and 7th of October 2009 in PAVILION UNICREDIT, in the frame of the project EXPLORING THE RETURN OF REPRESSION.
PROGRAM (all events are in Romanian) 06 October, 19.00Alex Mirutziu In dialogue with Razvan Ion : HEAVEN KNOWS I FEEL MISERABLE TODAY
"I havenât forgotten all the romantic images of the lovers, heroes, toys and fetishes. I am entirely aware that silence is tension. The scream hurts in stillness, it becomes conscious and fanatic. I am provoked by the impossibility to find my interiority from the outside, to be able to invent a habitation, a necessary space." (Alex Mirutziu)
"Mirutziu puts forward a reinvention of the abuse, using his own reinterpretation and recontextualization of his position in the world â the same world that has abused and is still abusing him, while he is doing the same to it. It is an erotic game with the society, a seminal interchange between prey and predator, a hunting game, a short hunting essay." (Razvan Ion)
A talk about art, queer policy, sexuality, politics, Romania, England and all the other stories.
Alex Mirutziu's work interrogates social processes with ephemeral emergents, using reference beyond itself and abduction of indexes as main constructs in an attempt to reconfigure the relation between information â form, psychophysical language and content, challenging origins and meaning. He studied at University of Fine Arts from Cluj, University of Fine Arts, Cuenca, Spain and he hold an MA iin Drama and Physical Theatre, at the University of Huddersfield, Great Britain. His work was exhibited at Liverpool Biennial 2008 , Optica Madrid, International Festival of French Theatre, GayWise Festival, Magmart â International Video Art Festival, Cum2Cut Film Festival. He lives in Romania and the U.K.
07 October, 19.00Sebastian Moldovan In dialogue with Razvan Ion : A RED TOMATO ALWAYS NEEDS A WALKING STICK
Your tomato garden, your desire to create a space of divine creation, the plant whose evolution you cannot control, you exploit perfection almost obsessively in your installations and objects. It seems to be the need to leave to chance, at least for one time, the development of your artwork. However you stop at the project, at the general sketch. Will the subconscious courage of the lack of control eventually become a reality?
To me, the space of divine creation is a space of a (divinely natural) reorganization of the elements in a given system. I find it favorable because I can learn about this reorganizing and I can interfere / interact with it - after all, this is what I do as an artist: I reorganize elements in various systems - aware of the infinite number of interactions between parts, aware that I cannot control or at least know them all. And that's why I tend to come back on a work many times before saying 'it's done'.
On the other hand, I understood a very important thing: if I were to compare one of my works with a system whose elements interact, then it would be enough to find a number (minimum) of elements which I can control, to build the system and deliver it (set free) to the world - then it would evolve in the most natural way possible, interacting with other systems - see public, critics, sales, notoriety or earthquakes and floods. That is my theory that verifies itself with the "End of Paris" - the work that has left me for some years and has evolved in directions that I haven't dictated and maybe don't even know.
