Satellite

SATellite is an artist group initiated by Delia Bulgaru, Clara Casian, Anca Ștefănică, Alex Tărnăuceanu, Andrei Timofte and Cristina Totolici in 2010. They previously studied Mural Art at the University of Arts in Iași.
The artistic practice developed by the members of the group is often participatory and investigates how the current socio-cultural context reflects a collective perception.
The group works with various media for their art projects such as installation, performance, sculpture and video.
Their artworks are focused on certain concerns, phenomena or quotidian issues, therefore the projects become a chronicle in images of the important local events.

The conversation will examine the methods used by ethnography during field research and the investigation of the survivors, witnesses and victims of violence involving wartime, community, domestic and sexual violence. The speakers will examine these methods in the light of the film by Renzo Martens Enjoy Poverty. Martens proposes that local photographers in the strife-torn Democratic Republic of Congo use human poverty as the main source of national wealth. In the film he offers advice on how to capture images of one’s own poverty.
The output of that research varies from works in the public space and architectural structures to sculptures and smaller work. Within this undefined area, the duo developed a practice that thematizes the friction between function (architecture) and autonomy (image) in an increasingly emphatic manner, and is centered around the central question: at what point does the daily experience of space turn into an aesthetic one?
