Metods of Building
by Sandra Demetrescu/catalogue text for Solo Exhibition Metods of Building, MNAC, Bucharest, 2020
My personal artistic activity reflects a divergent practice based on intuitive orientation, immediate observation and intellectual play, where the freedom to express ideas through various media such as installation, text, drawing or painting becomes the material support of recurring questions.
My approach variates between views from afar, up close and from within, are focusing on social issues or ars poetica approaches. The poetics / politics of space in micro- and macro- (human and non-human) historical contexts, the persistence of past traces and its repercussions over the present, and the interactionsbetween different levels (multispacies) of reality and the tense interrelations between objects are also areas of interest for me.
