Where the Wild Things Are — Temps D’Images
9 November 2012
Artists: Apparatus 22 (RO), Katja Eliad (RO), Mehreen Murtaza (PK), Michelangelo Pistoletto Band (KR), Pablo Serret de Ena (ES), Sebastian Moldovan (RO)
Curator: Anca Mihuleţ (RO)The title and the motivation of the exhibition stand in Maurice Sendak’s children’s book with the same name published in 1963, in which anger and the need for independence are explained through the personality of a boy named Max that immerses in a parallel world where he becomes the king of a community of uncivilized beasts. The selected artists visually recreate the story with various conceptual instruments of analysis.

Where the Wild Things Are is a presentation of 6 artistic approaches that handle the thematic of future and mixed reality, combining personal history with an alternative spatial determination. Childhood, heroism, comparable truths, and a temptation towards the future and the unknown unite the works selected for this small-length project.
If for Michelangelo Pistoletto Band, the future is represented by deserted spaces and words with no meaning, for Katja Eliad the future must be provoked and confronted, as the answers are always moving faster than us.

Apparatus 22 is a multidisciplinary art&design collective initiated in the winter of 2011 by current members Erika Olea, Maria Farcaş, Dragos Olea and late artist Ioana Nemeş.

Katja Eliad (1972) often talks about her relationship/interaction with the letters of the alphabet: “graphically letters make-up my universe, as numbers would do for a mathematician, my work vouches for this”.

Mehreen Murtaza (1986) completed her studies at Beaconhouse National University, Lahore; she opens herself to thematic concerns in a way that does not retreat into a confession of identity politics.

For Michelangelo Pistoletto Band (Bona Park and Eunji Cho), fantasy is repeatedly led to fiasco, which is an ingrained characteristic of their works. However, it surprisingly plays a role to unveil political and social structures implied in the landscapes where they intervene.

Pablo Serret de Ena (1975) admits that the behavior of societies has mostly been defined in relation to their environment, whether natural or artificial. Pablo Serret de Ena works with these contexts, reorganizing their elements to confront situations.

Sebastian Moldovan’s (1982) installations often question basic actions like breathing (a recurrent theme in his works), survival, beginning and ending or the passing of time, being in a permanent struggle to find space – space for breathing, for thinking, for disaster.
