Artists and curators respond to the exhibition »One Sixth of the
Earth. Ecologies of Image«. Short lectures and the panel
discussion will focus on Romania which has been one of the most
productive art scene in recent years. The contributions of
participants with different professional backgrounds (artists,
curators in and outside Romania) should give an overall view over
this complex phenomenon.


Panel discussion:
Mark Nash (curator of the exhibition, RCA London), Eszter
Steierhoffer, (RCA London), Livia Pancu (curator, tranzit.ro,
Iasi), Daria Ghiu (curator, Bucharest), Dan Acostioaei (artist,
Iasi)


"One Sixth of the Earth. Ecologies of Image" presents art
produced in countries of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc
dating from the last 15 years. The exhibition focuses on works of
moving image − the medium adopted by many contemporary artists −
and develops a broad 'ecological' framework to present and
contextualize a wide range of work from different countries and
cultures.
