Anca Potera\u0219u Gallery <\/strong>presents an exhibition that revolves around the similar histories of domestic and community life in the two countries; influenced by current processes of social and political restoration, the discussion and research reflects among other things how perceptions of women have been shaped by different intercultural contexts. Featuring artists from different historical periods, the project explores on the one hand systems of representation of women in visual culture, and on the other hand contextualizes narratives and personal histories relevant to the shaping of the idea of family and community in South-East Europe and East Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

My Brilliant Friend<\/strong><\/em> is a project born out of the curatorial friendship between Seolhui Lee and Anca Mihule\u021b. The two curators met in 2019 while working for the Busan Biennale and Singapore Biennale, respectively, trying to solve the mystery around a video work by the Romanian-Cuban artist Sandu Darie. Their conversations and curatorial exchanges expanded over the past years, with comparisons between Romania and South Korea taking precedence. In the meantime, Seolhui visited Romania twice, developing a strong interest in post-conceptualism and local architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

We selected three Korean and five Romanian artistic positions in an attempt to delineate a milieu of stances that render both familiarity and a sense of belonging, together with moments of care and tension. The displayed projects talk about the everyday life of the artists and the people around them, as much as they talk about the dreams, memories and possibilities of a generation.
