Mă văd peste tot (și mă-ntreb de ce?!)

Într-o seară practica mea vizuală a reflexiilor mi-a dat această poezie. Habar n-am care-i treaba, a venit așa, deodată 🤷♀️ Mă văd în ecranul telefonului În capacul de la laptop Propria-mi fantomă mă spionează din vitrinele pe lângă care trec Mă uit la mine în oglindă, în spatele tău pe motocicletă Sunt un autocolant când...

Kanal Centre Pompidou: thoughts on the exhibitions of May 2019
Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on / 0 Comments
Current exhibitions at Kanal Centre Pompidou got me thinking: how far should we go with exhibiting human pain, sufferance? What’s an appropriate context to do that and what not? Can the contemporary art establishment actually DO something to support our collective issues, such as homelessness? I would hope so! Thank you for watching!
I went to see the “latest” Caravaggio: “Judith and Holopherne” and it was pretty amazing
Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on / 0 Comments
A couple of years ago, in 2014 to be precise, a medieval painting was found in an attic and Toulouse, and after specialists in medieval paintings (most notably Éric Turpin) have analysed it in depth they decided: it’s a Caravaggio, one of the few (around 60 in the entire world), painted around 1607. It will be...
Gherasim Luca și depășirea suprarealismului
Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on / 0 Comments
„Poezia fără limbă, revoluția fără persoane, iubirea fără sfârșit” (Gherasim Luca, înscris pe „Cuba Colectiva” Havana, 1967) Gherasim Luca este inventatorul unui limbaj poetic și, în același timp program existențial, inseparabil de opera sa. Adesea s-a vorbit de ontopoezie, pentru că pentru Luca poezia, arta și viața au fost una, au format un tot inseparabil. A...
I mirror with Vivian Maier: thoughts on the exhibition at Les Douches La Galerie
Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on / 0 Comments
Les Douches La Galerie is currently hosting a Vivian Maier Exhibition “The Color Works”, which also includes many black & white photographs. Of course, her work is great but the exhibition concept is quite simplistic, the work is not at all contextualised and it’s presented a bit cramped. It all has an air of a desire...
Jean-Michel Basquiat at Fondation Louis Vuitton
Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on / 0 Comments
I often accumulate vast amounts of content waiting for me to process it, to bring it out in an orderly manner, ideally accompanied by a profound, well-researched text. Well, this time I figured the exhibition of Basquiat does not deserve such an absurd treatment. I feel I’d be doing you, however is reading this, as...

The eyes, chico, the eyes of Egon Schiele – Exhibition at Fondation Louis Vuitton Paris
Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on / 0 Comments
In image theory studies we often talk about “what do images want?”, about a secret life of an image, about how a detail can overturn an entire painting or how the punctum grabs our gaze and arrests it, binds it to a certain “je ne sais quoi” of the image. Such phenomenological and image theories fascinate...
