*Aici Åi Atunci* reuneste artiÅti din generaÈii diferite Åi ÃÅi propune sÄ
reflecteze asupra temei "artistului la lucru", aducÃnd Ãn discuÈie relaÈia
trecut-prezent, problema identitÄÈii naÈionale Åi relaÈia complicatÄ Ãntre
demersul artistic Åi contextul politic.

Majoritatea lucrÄrilor selectate Ãn expoziÈie au un substrat autobiografic,
iar prin recursul la autoreprezentare Åi prin dimensiunea performativÄ, ele
vorbesc despre condiÈia artistului Åi circumstanÈele - uneori problematice -
care Ãi definesc activitatea.

Fotografiile lui Julian MereuÈÄ realizate Ãn 1970 - Åi neexpuse pÃnÄ acum -
sunt emblematice pentru felul Ãn care Ãn timpul regimului comunist anumite
practici artistice au fost restricÈionate Åi condamnate la marginalitate.

Prin contrast, Ciprian Muresan chestioneazÄ cealaltÄ faÈetÄ a producÈiei
artistice, anume proliferarea artei oficiale Åi dezvoltarea cultului
personalitÄÈii lui CeauÅescu.

Proiectul O frescÄ pentru RomÃnia iniÈiat de Alexandra Croitoru Åi Stefan
Tiron problematizeazÄ modul Ãn care este reprezentatÄ istoria recentÄ,
compoziÈia picturii fiind realizatÄ de Vasile Pop-Negresteanu, un artist
cÄruia i se ÃncredinÈau si Ãn trecut comenzi oficiale.

DemonstrÃnd continuitate cu preocupÄri anterioare, o serie de fotografii
recente ale lui Ion Grigorescu Ãl ÃnfÄÈiÅeazÄ pe artist angajat Ãn diverse
activitÄÈi cotidiene care sunt investite de el cu o dimensiune ritualicÄ.

PerformanÈele discrete ale lui Miklos Onucsan sunt transformate Ãn
autoportrete "de parcurs" care au un substrat polemic Åi propun un
comentariu subtil privind locul artistului Ãn societate.

Aici si Atunci face parte din proiectul Romanian Cultural Resolution
organizat the Club Electro Putere Ãmpreuna cu Institutul Cultural RomÃn din
Berlin si prezentat in Werkschau Spinnerei Leipzig in perioada 1 mai - 1
iunie 2010.

*Here and Then *
Opening *Friday*, *April 15*, *7 p.m*., Club Electro Putere Craiova

artists:
*Alexandra Croitoru* & *Åtefan Tiron* in collaboration with *Vasile Pop
NegreÅteanu*, *Ion Grigorescu*, *Julian MereuÅÄ*, *Aurelia Mihai*, *Ciprian

curator *Magda Radu*

*Here and Then* is a trangenerational exhibition that explores the topic of
'artist at work', bringing forward such issues as the relation between past
and present, the question of national identity and the entanglement between
artistic agency and political context.

Most of the works featured in this selection assume an autobiographical
stance, and they reveal - through self-representation and performativity -
the condition of the artist in a problematic environment.

The never-before seen photographs made by Julian MereuÈÃ in 1970 are
emblematic of the marginality of certain artistic practices during
communism, and thus, of the impossibility of working within a restrictive
system.

By contrast, Ciprian MureÅan brings into discussion another facet of the
artistic production, namely the proliferation of official art that inflated
Ceausescu's personality cult.

Croitoru and Tiron's project - A Fresco for Romania - investigates the
possibility of representing the troubled history of Romania's recent past by
modulating the subject matter through the working method of an artist who
used to receive public commissions before 1989.

Showing continuity with earlier preoccupations, a recent series of
photographs by Ion Grigorescu depict the artist being involved in everyday
activities, which are invested by him with a ritualistic dimension.

Miklos Onucsan's discrete performanceas turned into self-portraits are
charged with a political undertone, providing a subtle commentary on the
artist's place in society "along the way".

*Here and Then* is part of the Romanian Cultural Resolution project
organised by Club Electro Putere and The Romanian Cultural Institute.
