Curators SPOTLIGHT: Romania: Bianca-Olivia Nita (photography) and Corina Burlacu (film)
The curators on SPOTLIGHT: ROMANIA:
In recent years, Romanian documentary photography has become part of the emerging wave of powerful Eastern European photography. In general these photos focus on subjects and issues happening outside of the city; in particular they forcus on the special, powerful and unique stories that are part of Romania’s ‘fiber’ and need to be told.
As a Romanian living in The Netherlands for over 7 years, Bianca-Olivia Nita made her selection from a slightly nostalgic point of view, but mostly from the perspective of someone who has inside knowledge, but is also still able to observe the country from an objective distance. Bianca: “Each of the selected series tells a different story and has a different feel. And unavoidably each series contains details that may appeal to past stereotypes and to a sense of archaism that Romania has long tried to conceal. To make others understand these stories, the simplifications through which Romania is often perceived should not be swept under the carpet; on the contrary, they need to be incorporated in all their complexity to form a complete picture that exposes them for what they really are. It’s about time we do that and stop presenting this limited, on-sided view of Romania.”

The exhibition will have a special focus on migration with two of the series focusing on the impact of migration and Romanian people working abroad from all walks of life. This focus opens up a debat about shifts in perception experienced by those leaving the country and about existing stereotypes about Romanians. These issues will be addressed during two accompanying workshops organized in GEMAK.

GENERATII - expo foto Baia Mare
Expoziția de fotografie Generații aduce împreună patru dintre cei mai reputați fotografi din Baia Mare: Mihai Grigorescu, Laszlo-Tibor Olah, Hajdu Tamas și Vasile Dorolţi. Expoziția deschisă la sediul Fundației Baia Mare 2021 va avea o durată de o lună și face parte din programul de candidatură la orașului pentru titlul de Capitală Europeană a Culturii.
Vernisajul va avea loc joi 24 septembrie, de la ora 19:00, la sediul Fundației Baia Mare 2021, la parterul clădirii Millennium III din Centrul Istoric. Vizitatorii vor avea ocazia să se bucure de cele 32 de lucrări până la finalul lunii octombrie, dar și să-și adauge în bibliotecă catalogul expoziției tipărit în condiții grafice de top.
În expoziția Generații, Baia Mare se dezvăluie privitorului cadru după cadru, strat după strat, generație după generație, cu umorul laconic și pitorescul surprinzător care fac acest loc fermecător și irepetabil. Ochiul pasionat are ocazia să ghicească intersecțiile dintre poveștile găzduite în imagini, precum și pasiunea care-i unește pe autori. Vă invităm să considerați această expoziție ca pe o fotografie de grup, un instantaneu despre prietenie pentru vârstele care urmează.
Inițiativa este parte dintr-un proiect mai amplu de punere în lumină a performanțelor fotografilor băimăreni contemporani, celebrați la nivel național și internațional prin premii, participări în expoziții de marcă sau includerea în albume prestigioase. Mihai Grigorescu, Laszlo-Tibor Olah, Hajdu Tamas și Vasile Dorolţi s-au dovedit nume importante în arta fotografică românească, care dau consistență și prestanță ofertei culturale a orașului Baia Mare.
