"Obsedanta monumentalitate" a fost o expozitie de grup care a debutat la
Berlin, in Galeria Plan B, in 2012. Inca de la prima editie, a promis sa
devina un proiect curatorial de durata sau o serie, mai degraba decat o
saga de expozitii. Ajunge acum intr-un stadiu nou de evolutie in cadrul
Clubului Electroputere din Craiova. Prima expozitie a analizat relatia
dintre practicile artei conceptuale orientate inspre obiect si
monumentalitate si a abordat diferite forme de documentarism, care au parut
initial a fi niste instrumente revolutionare, insa o data cu trecerea
anilor au devenit de-a dreptul prizoniere ale didacticismului expozitional
de genul "White Cube". Cea de-a doua editie concentreaza si sintetizeaza
rezultatele primeia, dar se plaseaza si mai aproape de muchia cutitului.

Seria aceasta de expozitii analizeaza mecanismele memoriei prin intermediul
practicilor artistice ale expozantilor si a felului in care abstractiile
lor cognitive, si implicit ale noastre, se manifesta in spatiu. Prima
expozitie a pus sub semnul intrebarii existenta unei memorii colective
bazata pe consens, cea de-a doua neaga deja o astfel de posibilitate si
afirma mai degraba imposibilitatea unui consens total si colectiv, care sa
poata fi mediat prin instrumente ale artei contemporane. In cadrul acestei
expozitii, toate lucrarile sunt interpretate ca simboluri ale isteriei
istoriei.

Expozitia "Obsedanta monumetalitate" gazduita de Clubul Electroputere
prezinta lucrari ale unor artisti in plina afirmare, originari din Europa
centrala si rasariteana, care sunt cat mai putin statici si ecstatici
posibil. Fundalul non-referential sau pe de-a-ntregul alchimic al
lucrarilor prezentate, care pot fi intelese ca niste monumente efemere
personale, private, uneori chiar psihedelice, incearca sa aiba un impact
senzual asupra privitorilor. In acest fel, ele devin o altfel de prezenta
fantomatica ce reactualizeaza functia monumentului intr-o era in care nu
mai avem o cunoastere limpede si bine definita a adevarului si a moralei in
societate, iar eventualitatea unor noi utopii emergente este exilata in
singuratatea privatului.

Acest proiect este realizat cu sprijinul Fundatiei ERSTE
Parteneri: Teatrul de copii si tineret Colibri, illy

Haunting Monumentality was a group exhibition which premiered in Galeria
Plan B, Berlin in 2012. Since its first edition it emerged to become a
long-term curatorial research project, or at least a circle, rather than a
saga of exhibitions, now coming to its second stage of evolution in Club
Electroputere, Craiova. The first exhibition examined the relation of
contemporary object-based conceptual art practices and monumentality and
tackled different forms of documentarism which first seemed to be
revolutionary tools, but as years passed by, they simply became prisoners
of the didacticism of white cubes. The second edition summarises and
synthesizes the outcomes of the first, but walks even more towards the edge
of the razor.

The exhibition-series analyze the function of memory through the art
practices of the exhibitors and how their, our cognitive abstraction
becomes manifest in space. The first edition questioned the existence of a
collective memory based on consensus, the second already negates such a
possibility and rather declares the impossibility of any collective and
total consensus which can be mediated through instruments of contemporary
art. Within the frame of this exhibition all the pieces are interpreted as
symbols of the hysteria of history. The Club Electroputere edition of
Haunting Monumentality features works of emerging artists from the
Central-Eastern-European region, which are as less static as and as
ecstatic as possible. The non-referential or maximum alchemical background
of the presented artworks, which can all be understood as personal,
private, sometimes even psychedelic ephemeral monuments, tries to have a
sensual approach on their viewers. Thus they become a new type of ghostly
presence, which reenact the function of the monument in an age when we
don't have much clear and definable knowledge left about truth and moral as
a society, and the potential of new utopias on the rise is exiled to the
desert of the private.

This project has been realized with the support of ERSTE Foundation
Partners: "Colibri" Children and Youth Theatre, illy
