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...

What about Zalău? | participatory photo exhibition

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on August 10, 2022 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...

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?...

– 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...

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...

I mirror with Vivian Maier: thoughts on the exhibition at Les Douches La Galerie

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on March 18, 2019 4:16 pm / 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...

Golden Hour in Sintra

Posted by Raluca Turcanasu on November 26, 2017 12:17 am / 0 Comments

One afternoon after finishing off my volunteering shifts at Websummit I took myself and went on an afternoon trip in Sintra. Now, my close friends know I am not the biggest fan of solo activities but, actually, sometimes they can be truly mind-liberating. So, to get to Sintra, you just need to get yourself to...
