Fragment #5_Timeless

Fragment is a B-side project curated by Walter Bonomi in the spaces of IAGA Contemporary Art Gallery.

It is an interstitial and temporary project, appointed progressively #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 which is proposed with different theme between two solo or group exhibitions of the Gallery.

It is the place of transition and reflection around a problem of contemporary art from time to time identified by the curator. The works on display, created by artists of the Gallery and in collaboration with the Gallery, highlight the perseverance of the guiding theme in different variations of languages.

Fragment este un proiect B-side curatoriat de către Walter Bonomi în spaţiile IAGA Contemporary Art. Este un proiect insterstiţial, temporar, denumit progresiv #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, care se propune cu o temă diferită între două expoziţii personale sau colective ale Galeriei.

Reprezintă locul tranziţiei şi al reflecţiei în jurul unei probleme din sfera artei contemporane identificată periodic de către curator. Operele expuse, realizate de către artiştii Galeriei şi în colaborare cu aceasta, evidenţiază persistenţa temei conductoare în diversele declinări ale limbajelor.

Ring of continuity between the before and after, between an exhibition and the subsequent, site of the passage of thought and vision, Fragment #5 reflects on the theme:

Inel de continuitate între precedent şi ulterior, între o expoziţie şi cea succesivă, loc de pasaj al gândului şi al viziunii, Fragment #5 invită la o reflecţie pe tema:

Timeless «I think that it is distinctive for this period and for the melancholy of the art work when it is done individually and it relates to the others in the loss and the lack of a completely lost original character. The exposed faces and bodies are all missing something, the bodies are searching for one another in absolute silence, resurfacing for dark memories, glances from a forgotten pleasure, identities that shatter and recompose themselves».

Walter Bonomi

Timeless «Cred că este reprezentativ acestei perioade şi melancoliei operei când aceasta este făcută individual şi se raportează celorlalţi în lipsa unui caracter original complet pierdut.

Tuturor feţelor şi corpurilor expuse le lipseşte câte ceva, corpurile se caută într-o linişte absolută, reapar din amintiri, licăriri dintr-o plăcere uitată, identităţi ce se sfarmă şi se recompun».
