Aneli Munteanuaa‚¬a„¢s work of aa‚¬A“unsettling ambiguityaa‚¬A, on display at MORA Art Gallery

Newsroom 02/02/2011 | 16:50

Titled -an installation-, Aneli Munteanu’s exhibit, is on display at MORA Art Gallery starting February 4 and until February 19.

Aneli Munteanu spends her time away from Bucharest in art residencies, where she creates works whose unsettling ambiguity is meant to provoke feelings of discomfort and uneasiness. Her installations feature snippets of text or simple titles that pay a modest homage to Lev Kuleshov. Vacillating between contradictory emotions, the viewer feels compelled to find a stable meaning of the artwork, only to find himself, together with the artist, questioning the very process whereby this meaning is constructed. Aneli Munteanu enjoys a special relationship with question marks.

Munteanu uses a quote to best describe her work “… the meaning of an image is not a sum total of the artist’s, the viewer’s, and the work’s intentions. It is a battlefield or a bargaining table, where unconscious desires negotiate a compromise between often incompatible significations.”, which is something that a friend once wrote to her.

Exhibition is open until December 15 by appointment at +40 21 316 55 41 and +0721 71 75 72. MORA Art Gallery is located on Str. Grigore Mora 39, Bucharest.
