Reflection Center for Suspended Histories. An Attempt

Reflection Center for Suspended Histories. An attempt is a rather silent exhibition, conceived as a center for analyzing minor, unattractive histories, suspended behind major events. The exhibition started with an investigation on the status of modern art history in Romania, bracketing the communist period that has acted as a physical and imaginative cork, blocking certain mental and visual processes. Taking into account that history is not innocent, and that it involves a certain degree of physical, visual or conceptual violence, the intention was to uncover the invisible core of the exhibition, rather than its visible dimension. Moreover, talking about history can have a therapeutic value.
