-----------------------------------------------------------------------

During March 2010, Centre for Visual Introspection collaborates with the artists Nicu Ilfoveanu, Razvan Botis, Arnold Estefan to produce a new exhibition programme titled 96x40x30.

96x40x30 is an initiative inspired by the current condition of the Romanian art scene and addresses to those artists who live, work and produce in this context. 96x40x30 is a sum of individual chapters which are dedicated to events, themes, oral histories, defined by unspectacular, by the ordinary and which have in common a rigid formal and spatial structure represented by a marble pedestal with the dimensions of 96x40x30cm.

Nicu Ilfoveanu, Razvan Botis, Arnold Estefan are invited to respond to the challenges enhance by this form of presentation, to reinterpret it, bringing it in a direct relationship with their current preoccupations, with the organic tendencies of Romanian present realities. The new artistic productions, exhibited in the CIV space in the course of four days, apart from the often critical view on contemporaneity, reinforce the necessary practice of contemplation.

The projects will be archived in the format of a publication, at the end of the event, and includes as well a series of interviews with the artists.

The publication Ars Telefonica 2008 accompanies the homonym project, organized by Centre for Visual Introspection during September 23rd -27th 2008 in Bucharest. The book gathers a series of critical texts by a diverse group of art and architectural theorists, philosophers, critically engaged in debating the current conditions of social and cultural practice in Romanian public sphere. The body of texts introduces a glossary of themes, sub-themes and concepts which relate to the questions launched by the project and opens, as well, multiple directions of interpretation regarding the passive/ active relationship between cultural producer and audience. The publication contains images, short descriptions of the artistic projects and of the lectures taken place within the event's framework, as well as an audio CD which documents the works of studioBASAR, Carl Michael von Hausswolff, Jiri Skala, Iratxe Jaio & Klass van Gorkum, Bernhard Schreiner.
