The most magnificent thing is that now I can
visit as many art galleries and museums as I want.... because they are all
around, waiting for me. Last weekend I realized how much I actually love to
spend my time in galleries. It's a delight! Last weekend I drew all morning in
the studio, then ran in the street and searched for the art exhibitions which
composed the event called Bucharest Art Weekend. The booklets they spread all
around the city center contained a tiny map and the exact address of each
gallery. This was very useful!
It was just like a treasure hunt race. I
hadn't ever visited any of those places.... and as you may know, discovering
new places is one of my favorite activities, or should I say hobby...? It's all
about finding the mysterious and unknown in the daily routine and making each
moment a unique one.
So Saturday afternoon I visited three galleries: H' Art: "Dulce et
Decorum" personal exhibition by George Anghelescu, Visual Arts Center:
"Bucharest International Print Biennale" and Dalles Hall:
"Enchanting Views". Pay a visit as long as you can! It's worth it
believe me! I recommend them all and I won't express nor my positive neither my
negative opinion. Go and make your own artistic discoveries! It's great and
magical!
"Enchanting Views" hosted at the Dallas Hall is really nice....
and nostalgic. It's about the changes that took place in the structure and architecture
of the Romanian Black Sea shore resorts during the 60's and 70's. It was
actually a multimedia exhibition: photos, newspapers, magazines, documentaries,
videos, statistics and postcards. Looking at those old photos I just couldn't
believe my eyes. Was this really Constanta, my hometown? Was this really
Mamaia? It's hard to believe they had ever looked so good.... Well that was a
really nostalgic half an hour... "Enchanting Views" makes you want to
go back in time and see with your own eyes clean, wide beaches, tidy hotels and
colorful, fresh flowers all around.
And Sunday I visited The National Museum of Arts, the Arts Collections
section. It's just wonderful! It's so big I couldn't visit it entirely. I will
go back as soon as I can and visit the second floor.
So I had a great weekend... a full one for sure! I got home dead tired...
but that's an everyday issue already. Oh my god I am so busy these days :)) Stay
tuned! My artistic appetite is huge so... museums, galleries, exhibitions...
here I come!
