Routes and archeological works through memory | Timisoara European Capital of Culture

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on May 7, 2023 11:00 pm / 0 Comments

Timișoara (Temeswar), April 2023.   Timisoara greeted me with a few rainy days at the beginning of April, which were nevertheless perfect for exploring the exhibitions within Timișoara European Capital of Culture. Rainy and cold, the city shined brighter than last year. As one might expect, some of the projects within the Capital of Culture status...

Birdies of Ireland 🐦

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on April 15, 2023 7:01 pm / 0 Comments

Ireland. Where you hear birds chirping even at night! You know it. One day you’re young, the next day you’re observing & capturing photos of birds with your telelens. Next, you know what they’re called, too. 👀 Joking around about aging-worries, I feel I’m at my absolute best, both mentally and physically. So, here, enjoy these...

Touring the Dublin Mountains | loop hike 🥾

Beautiful end of November hike guided by Ben Shorten, from My Bike or Hike. It did come as a surprise, as I cozied myself up in Dublin, that the public transport is far from stellar 🙃 There is only a handful of trails one can do using the public transport to the starting point – not...

Looking at people looking at art, in Venice Biennale

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on November 27, 2022 2:47 am / 0 Comments

  Apparently, my visit of the Venice Biennale was more about observing the other visitors than interiorizing the work(s). I honestly can’t say I was taken aback by most of it… but neither did I expect it to be so. It’s rather hard to bring in controversial work when you’re “representing the nation”. Yet, Cosmin...

Photo work: The political theatre season – 2021-2022

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on March 17, 2022 6:57 pm / 0 Comments

To stage corona. To dramatize shame. To enact maternity. To (re)produce hospitality work. To listen to history. To sing delivery. To have solidarity in solitude. What does the labour of a commercial worker or a delivery wo/man mean in Corona times? How can one step in the shoes of those who just serves one’s needs?...

MarinArt: education through art in the rural

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on October 29, 2021 11:50 pm / 0 Comments

One of the most complex & challenging projects I have ever co-organized was aimed at children and teens in Marin, a village in Northern Romania. My role was two-sided: 1) Coordinating the communications for MarinArt. A platform for education through art in the rural world. What did that entice on my side? Part of the...

“I dreamed of a museum of photography” | FOR ARTA MAGAZINE

– And, knowing it won’t happen any time soon, I donated almost all of my negatives to the Engravings Department of the Romanian Academy Library. – And I decided to stop waiting and create my own, online.  – And I went and saw as many photographic archive museums and galleries as I could in order...

What about Zalău? | participatory photo exhibition

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on July 25, 2021 9:35 pm / 0 Comments

Autumn 2020: it’s lockdown and I am going on my first artistic residency It’s in Zalau, a town of less than 50K in North-Western Romania. My plan in this residency was to look without expectations and enjoy time in a greener, breathier place than Bucharest. And, if I could, make people rethink their relationship to...

O zi la Bad Schimläi, un orășel imaginar

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on November 26, 2020 1:42 am / 0 Comments

Dacă Șimleu Silvaniei era un mic orășel din Germania s-ar fi numit, probabil, Bad Schimläi. Fix cu o zi înainte de intrarea în carantină a Zalăului am făcut o mică excursie în orășelul Șimleu Silvaniei, situat pe râul Crasna, tot în Sălaj. Ghici de unde mi-a venit similitudinea cu un orășel german de cum am...

Jurnal de la Zalău

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on October 31, 2020 11:05 pm / 0 Comments

Lumea arde și baba se piaptănă. Cam ăsta e my underlying feeling în prima mea rezidență artistică, de la Muzeul Județean de Istorie și Artă Zalău. Pentru că am învățat de mică să înșir cuvinte coerent, am fost una dintre artistele acceptate în rezidență la Zalău (alături de Sofia Nelega) și asta mă face mega...
