Initiated by Salonul de proiecte in 2023, this project set out to develop a form of artistic inquiry essential for understanding the world we live in today, built around a central question: what role does art play in contemporary society?
Through this initiative, I coordinated the communication around a series of workshops designed for middle and high school students in Timișoara, drawing inspiration from the artistic and pedagogical practice of Mircea Nicolae. The workshops revolved around themes such as the transient and ephemeral nature of urban spaces, the articulation of personal messages within the public sphere, and the creative potential of abandoned objects.
In parallel, the project also materialized in a publication offering an in-depth perspective on Mircea Nicolae’s thought and creative processes. Combining critical essays with a detailed presentation of his singular yet contextually grounded practice, the book provided a multifaceted look into one of the most unconventional artistic approaches in recent Romanian art.
