LABORNA Contemporary Art Gallery
str. Icoanei nr.17

LABORNA Gallery is a Romanian Contemporary Art Gallery, established in Bucharest, founded in 2013, at the initiative of Ciprian Paleologu. The gallery profile marks the professional individual artistic performance. The presentations for the general public called BORNE (« MILESTONES ») preserve the artist’s/ collector’s activity over a period of time with the intention to reveal a complete and complex artists archive, more than claiming to show a conventional “exhibition”. We dedicated a specific space: Scara / The Ladder for young emerging artists. The access to the laboratory of the artist or the collector’s is fairly rare, the full perspective which his vision is built on being most often difficult to follow. That is why we can say that LABORNA Galley is in fact like a meter: creation and collection in real time. We offer to the viewer a “naked/ anatomical” vision in the act of creation.

What could happen when the ensemble, which was comfortably projected as reality, is suspended? Or maybe questioned in a repetitive way, sometimes even with notes of aggression. Extensions of post reality/ post-truth, neo reality, pseudo reality, type are increasingly present, in the context of “new realities” built by technological/ informatics systems, but not necessarily to replace reality but to put it between brackets (to suspend it). Does the suspended reality crate clones, or does it produce contradictory forms in time detached from the basic notion? How do we react in this context? Do we choose different realities every day that are comfortable for us, like interchangeable menu selections? Do we withdraw/ hide inside personalised projections? Do we simulate complex utopias for our “lost place”? Artists always had unexpected visions in the most complex situations. So…Pending instructions
