It gives us great pleasure to invite you to the exhibition \u201cAdrian Ghenie, The Impossible Body,\u201d composed of a series of recent works by the artist specially created for this occasion. Adrian Ghenie is one of the most popular contemporary Romanian artists and a true phenomenon of the international art market, known primarily for his paintings inspired by historical subjects with relevance to the tumultuous history of the 20th century.<\/p>\n
Curated by the artistic director of the Art Encounters Foundation, Diana Marincu, the exhibition brings together a large collection of drawings alongside some of the artist\u2019s paintings.<\/p>\n
The artist dwells here on the subjects inspired by the pandemic period and isolation in the domestic space when the only connection with the \u201cworld\u201d was through digital devices. These new themes relate to the complicated relationship man has formulated with today\u2019s technology, social media, his body, and time. Ghenie saw that today there is a new language of the body, which imposes different postures, specific anatomical developments, and extensions of the limbs through technology tools.<\/p>\n
The exhibition is organized at the ISHO Pavilion and can be visited between Wednesday and Sunday, between 10:00 and 18:00 (access is free). In addition, the \u201cimpossible body\u201d benefits from a mediation program, which we will announce shortly.<\/p>\n
