Aiurart Contemporary Art Space will host “Tools for a better future”, an exhibition of the Romanian artist Cosmin Haias, curated by Olivia Nitis. According to the organizers, Cosmin Haias is a reactive observer immediately focused on recent sociopolitical issues.
„Consequently, the exhibition reflects a series of micro-stories that create a fractured discourse along with assuming diversity similar to the entertainment game practice of the news journal. The artist’s project is a sort of news feed alert, selectively filtered through ironic thinking with the purpose of continuous and direct replies to the factions of reality.”
Moreover, “Tools for a better future” proposes a permanent reading of social and political life through critical lens. The post-socialist discourse breaks through where the artist feels the need to engage ironically by permanent cuts from the uninterrupted fluency of socio-political life keeping a post-modern direction, a neo-pop faithful to the contemporary aesthetics of social networks, giffs, gadgets and meme sites.
The opening will take place on April 21, at 19.00, at Aiurart Contemporary Art Space, located on 21 Lirei, Bucharest. Also, the exhibition will be on display during Gallery Weekend, which will take place 23rd -24th of April, 12am.-9pm. The exhibition can be visited until May 28, 2016.
