The inaugural exhibition, curated by Pier Paolo Pancotto, features four artists from Eastern Europe. Adrian Ghenie (b. 1977, Baia Mare, Romania; lives and works in Berlin), Ciprian Mureșan (b. 1977, Dej, Romania; lives and works in Cluj, Romania), and Șerban Savu (b. 1978, Sighișoara, Romania; lives and works in Cluj, Romania), who all spent a period in Rome between 2017 and 2018, are joined by conceptual artist Geta Brătescu (b. 1926, Ploiești, Romania; d. 2018, Bucharest), a pioneer and genius. The outcome of this “encounter” establishes tension amid the selected artworks—an interplay of cross-references between the artists and the historical and cultural context in which they are operating.
