Romanian writers and visual artists Anca Bucur, Ștefan Buzea, Cristina Florentina Budar, Iulia Militaru, Sergiu Nisioi and Andra Rotaru inaugurated the exhibition “Manifest(ation) pro/con DADA”, which includes three video installations: “The Path. Filling-in Abstract Forms: Overwriting Barnett Newman”, “The Glimpse” and “parsing [i]dentity. towards a nomadic recon[figuration]”, and two sound installations. These pieces bring up for discussion the role of non-creative art and ec(h)ology in the creation of art. The exhibits will raise the question of “originality” nowadays. Further suggested questions include how we relate to the question of copy and cliché and how one can still make literature and assess its fate.
Performance: Sept. 6, 2016

This project was a partnership with the International Writing Program, University of Iowa. “Manifest(ation) pro/con DADA,” a project of Harm Reduction Foundation, is financed by the Romanian Cultural Institute through the CentenArt Programme.
