ROMANIAN DESIGN WEEK APPEARANCES
2018 // I AM Y
Artfooly Gallery and curator Anca Negescu present the "I AM Y" exhibition, which aims at outlining a portrait of the millennial generation. Technology fanatics, sensitive, slightly effeminate, using preset phrases – half in Romanian, half in English, they are – or so the author sees them – the emoticon people, psychologically and emotionally blended with the technology they use.
But they are also cool and highly skilful in everything that represents information, genetically creative and highly urban – those who live in metropolises. The Y generation embodies the figure of urban brigands, adapted to the new kinds of challenges: less physical, less mechanical, more mental and social.
"I AM Y" is not a sociological or demographic survey, but rather an observation-based portrait that mixes fear of the future with the author’s straightforward jealousy and, most importantly, with the author’s fascination for this generation that looks to be fundamentally different from the ones before them.
2017 // emotion_html
Artfooly Gallery, through curator Anca Negescu, proposes the emotion_html exhibition, a collection of drawings about alienation caused by technology. It explores the transfer of online phrases into the real life.
Digital means an approximation of the real world. Likewise, digital language and phrases are nothing more than abridged approximations of our real emotions. The emoticons, which are mimetically transferred into our emotional lives, establish a state of alienation, as our ancestral feelings come to be trimmed according to the Facebook reactions.
The drawings in the emotion_html collection are created in a “minimal effort” technique, which paradoxically means freedom, and not confinement. By favouring mind over hand, the drawings essentially induce the state of alienation, instead of just describing it.
