PRESS RELEASE #2, Bucharest, 27 November 2015 Future Museum: selected projects for the 2016 programme
Four projects were selected, to be produced and exhibited in 2016 by Future Museum, the newly founded exhibition hall at the Czech Centre Bucharest. The artists who have been granted the opportunity to realize an exhibition in this space in 2016 are: Mona Vatamanu & Florin Tudor, Daniel Djamo, Tatiana Fiodorova and Anca Raluca M.
On Friday 9 October 2015, an ‘open call for artists’ was released, inviting artists living in Romania and Republic of Moldova to apply to exhibit in the newly founded, 120m2 exhibition hall at the Czech Centre in Bucharest, whether as individuals, or in collaboration. The board of the Future Museum (Katarzyna Krysiak, Alexandru Polgár and František Zachoval) received 28 applications, all of which complied with the formal requirements, four of which will be supported financialy and exhibited in 2016.
The programme of the Future Museum is intended to trace social changes, turns, revolutions, and transitional moments, and through this process, to initiate new configurations of space and time. A further priority is to focus on hitherto undescribed aspects of the art process. The exhibition hall therefore offers a space for those artistic experiments and site-specific installations which are responding directly to non-traditional typologies of the history of visual art. Through the open call is offering the space for the solo project of the individual artists, artist duos or the art group.
