Tania Mouraud, a member of the painting section of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, was officially installed on November 5 by her colleague Blanca Li, from the choreography section.

During the ceremony at Palais de l’Institut de France, Blanca Li paid tribute to the artist’s powerful work: “Your work, dear Tania Mouraud, has been built as a refusal of stagnation, oblivion, and silence. […] Each of your works is an act of resistance.”

Only two days left to see the solo show Marilena Preda Sânc: Bodyscape 1982–1988.

The works in the exhibition are emblematic of a brave, experimental period in the artist’s practice. Censored by the political system of communist Romania, the n**e body emerges as a form of resistance and even of subversion.

“In the large-scale drawing 'Androgin', I chose the vertical as the link between body and transcendence. (…) Androgyny embodies unity, balance, and harmony, born out of tensions and contradictions, from the struggle of opposites.” — Marilena Preda Sânc in conversation with curator Anna Daneri

Come by the gallery to get a sense of the work’s visual impact.

Pavel Brăila’s first solo exhibition in the Republic of Moldova, presented by Lutnița, is unfolding in two complementary volumes across Chișinău and Ustia.

Featured here, Vol. I – Chișinău brings together the artist’s early works, where self-confrontation and encounters with social frameworks mark the starting points of his artistic journey.

Vol. II – Ustia, which has just opened, shifts the focus from autobiographical explorations to a critical reflection on collective memory and recent social transformations.

One common element unites the various positions of the body in Marilena Preda Sânc’s works from the 1980s: they hint at a retreat from the socio-political realities of the era and an immersion into her own subjectivity, always closely related to nature.

“The living world, for me, means both human and nonhuman, bound together in a symbiotic whole,” she says.
